During a conference this Thursday, Microsoft presented Microsoft 365 Copilot, its new technology that integrates artificial intelligence tools on the ChatGPT model in these different applications, namely Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and Teams, among others.
“Right now, we spend too much time on the monotony of work and too little time and energy on work that ignites our creativity and generates joy,” the US company said in a statement, to present these new tools.
“Copilot is integrated into Microsoft 365 in two ways,” Microsoft details: on the one hand in its different applications, and on the other hand through its new “BusinessChat” experience. BusinessChat gathers data from all Microsoft tools and apps to help summarize discussions, write emails, and find key dates.
In Word, Microsoft 365 Copilot will let you write, edit, summarize, or create a draft yourself. They can, for example, write a project proposal from a document or spreadsheet, make a paragraph more concise or change its tone, make suggestions, reinforce arguments or correct inconsistencies.
In Excel, the Microsoft 365 co-pilot will be able to quickly analyze and interpret data, reveal correlations, build formulas, identify trends, and build charts.
Convert a brief to a presentation
Another first: Copilot can transform written documents into Powerpoint presentations, with the added benefit of annotations to accompany the user in parallel for an oral presentation. It is also capable of condensing long presentations, adjusting layouts or synchronizing animations.
In both Outlook and Teams, the user can ask the Microsoft Co-Pilot to summarize important points that they may have missed in their latest emails or in a conversation with other people, or to summarize the different points of view that have been shared during a discussion. . It also makes it easy to organize and schedule meetings.
At the moment, however, Microsoft has not given a deadline for the availability of these new tools, which should be integrated into the next versions of the Office suite.
