Everyone knows by now that Microsoft is developing many products with artificial intelligence. Those from Redmond have in their possession one of the most powerful programs of the moment, but the truth is that their objective was not to ‘revive’ Bing, but also to offer it as a companion to other products. The result is called Copilot, a software that will help you in all Microsoft 365 applications.
The office suite receives the help of ChatGPT
With the arrival of ChatGPT 4, many are waiting for all the news it has to offer. Especially, those who have permission from Bing have been able to see what it is capable of, although it still has a lot to polish. But the surprise has come today when it has been known what it is Copilot.
By the name you can already be very clear about what it is about, but we are going to tell you about it as those of Redmond have done it. The company has decided to unite its two most important productsWhat are Microsoft 365 like?which used to be Office, along with the cutting-edge artificial intelligence used by the firm.
The software merges with the operation of all the applications of the office suite. In fact, you can ask it to generate exactly what you want to do: You can generate an essay in Word, create a pivot table with different functions in Excel or, if that were not enough, make you a PowerPoint presentation taken from a Word file. (something that will be very useful to many).
“To create Copilot, we didn’t just connect ChatGPT to Microsoft 365. Microsoft 365 Copilot works with what we call the Copilot system,” says Microsoft 365 director Jared Spataro, who also confirmed that this integration isn’t as accurate as you think it might be. “Sometimes, Copilot it will get it right, other times it will be usefully wrong, giving you an idea that isn’t perfect but still gives you an edge.”
Outlook will also benefit
Of course, the eminently practical apps are the ones that will get the most out of Copilot, but its limits go beyond each of them. And it is that if you are an Outlook user it can also help you a lot with the automation of processes. You can generate responses in a draft that you can see, reply to them directly, or even save valuable time by deleting emails you don’t need.
At the moment, its integration is far from reaching the general public and only 20 clients have access to the use of artificial intelligence from Microsoft in its office suite.
