Microsoft Brings AI to Indonesia: Copilot Now Speaks Bahasa
Microsoft is stepping up its game in Indonesia, bringing the power of artificial intelligence directly to Indonesian users. It’s a significant move tailored for a nation with enormous potential.
Microsoft 365 Copilot, a powerful tool designed to make work life easier, is now available completely in Bahasa Indonesia. This isn’t just a simple translation. It means everyone from individuals to larger corporations can fully integrate Copilot into their workflows, regardless of their comfort level with English.
“We see great potential in Indonesia. We’re Investing in tools and resources tailored specifically for Indonesian users," said Ricky Haryadi, Go-To-Market Lead for AI at Work and AI Cybersecurity in Southeast Asia at Microsoft. "The goal is to empower individuals and organizations across various sectors by making AI more accessible."
This development aligns perfectly with Microsoft’s vision for Copilot. Since its launch in 2023, Copilot has already undergone over 300 updates, constantly evolving and becoming even more effective. Users are noticing the difference, with rapid improvements in response times and overall user satisfaction.
Locals are excited about the possibilities. AI, especially in its Generative AI form, is proving transformative.
Generative AI:
Think of it this way – generative AI lets you interact with AI, not just use it passively. Give it a prompt, a clear description of what you want, and voilà! The AI creates. From composing well-structured text for presentations to drafting emails, Copilot aims to take on the mundane tasks, freeing people to focus on what really matters: strategic thinking and innovative problem solving.
"Already, 92% of Indonesian workers say AI is making their daily work easier. That’s not just potential – that’s reality," Ricky emphasizes. " This isn’t merely a tool for the tech-savvy.
Microsoft envisions Copilot becoming the everyday ally for Indonesians across industries. Imagine scheduling meetings, analyzing data, or even brainstorming creative content – all within familiar Microsoft Tools.
"So, whether you’re a marketer refining social media strategies or a developer optimizing code, Copilot becomes your partner in progress," concludes Ricky.
With this latest development, Microsoft
is no longer just talking about the future. They’re busy building it – brick by brick, one word, one idea, one line of code at a time.
