Each of us seeks to do something that makes us think—to write great books, to make discoveries, to build strong communities, to care for the sick. The desire to connect is upon us all. But these days we spend so much time on boring tasks that destroy time, creativity and energy. To express the spirit of our work, it does not mean that we do it better. We must be one It's a completely new way of working Today, we are harnessing the power of next-generation artificial intelligence. Introducing Microsoft 365 Copilot — Your pilot for work. It combines the power of rich language models (LLM) with your data in Microsoft Graph and Microsoft 365 apps to turn your words into the world's most powerful productivity tool. "Today is the next big step in the evolution of how we interact with computers, changing the way we work and bringing a new wave of productivity growth," said the Microsoft Chairman and CEO Satya Nadella. “With our new copilot for work, we’re giving people more agency and making technology more accessible through the most universal interface — natural language.
"Copilot is integrated into Microsoft 365 in two ways. It works alongside you, embedded in the Microsoft 365 apps you use every day — Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams and more — to unleash creativity, unlock productivity and uplevel skills. Today we’re also announcing an entirely new experience: Business Chat. Business Chat works across the LLM, the Microsoft 365 apps, and your data — your calendar, emails, chats, documents, meetings and contacts — to do things you’ve never been able to do before. You can give it natural language prompts like “Tell my team how we updated the product strategy,” and it will generate a status update based on the morning’s meetings, emails and chat threads. With the Copilot you are always in control. You decide what you want to keep, change or delete. Now you can be more creative in Word, more analytical in Excel, more powerful in PowerPoint, more productive in Outlook and more collaborative in Teams.
Microsoft 365 Copilot
changes the process in three ways:Put your creativity aside. With Copilot in Word, you can start the creative process without starting over with a blank page. Copilot gives you the first draft to edit and convert - saving you writing time, resources and editing time. Sometimes Copilot gets it right, sometimes it gets it wrong - but you come first. As a writer, you're always in control, pushing your unique ideas forward and asking Copilot to shorten, rewrite, or provide feedback. Copy to PowerPointIt will help you to create a beautiful presentation with a simple command and add the necessary text from an article you created last week or last year. And with Copilot in Excel, you can analyze trends and create professional-looking data presentations in seconds.Unlock Your Productivity We all want to focus on the 20% of our most important tasks, but 80% of our time is spent on distractions that are killing us. A co-pilot will lighten the load. Copilot in Outlook helps you clean out your inbox in minutes, not hours, from summarizing long email threads to quickly creating thoughtful responses. And every session is a productive session with the Copilot in the Teams. It can summarize the main points of the discussion - including who said what, where people are voting and where they are.Don't agree - put action points on time at the meeting. And with Copilot on the Power Platform, anyone can automate repetitive tasks, build chatbots and go from idea to application in minutes.GitHub data shows that Copilot promises to open up the products for everyone. Among developers who use GitHub Copilot, 88% say they are more productive, 74% say that they can focus on more satisfying work, and 77% say it helps them spend less time searching for information or examples.But Copilot doesn’t just supercharge individual productivity. It creates a new knowledge model for every organization — harnessing the massive reservoir of data and insights that lies largely inaccessible and untapped today. Business Chat works across all your business data and apps to surface the information and insights you need from a sea of data — so knowledge flows freely across the organization, saving you valuable time searching for answers. You will be able to access Business Chatfrom Microsoft 365.com, from Bing when you’re signed in with your work account, or from Teams. Copilot's high-level skills make you better at what you love, and you can quickly learn what you haven't learned yet. There are only a few commands that the average person uses—like "draw a movie" and "insert table"—out of the thousands of commands available in Microsoft 365. Now the free all rich work using natural language. And this is just the beginning. Copilot will change how people work with AI and how AI works with people. As with any new job, there is a learning curve – but those who embrace this new way of working will find success quickly.
