Dubbed Microsoft 365 Copilot, Redmond officials even promised that it’s more than just ChatGPT being slapped into the ecosystem. In fact, AI-powered large language models (LLMs) of this technology are trained on an enormously large amount of data to unlock users’ productivity. With this addition, you can summarize a long email thread on Outlook, organize presentations with simple prompts on PowerPoint, simplify your data on Excel, and create drafts easily on Word. The news arrived amidst OpenAI’s GPT-4 launch which, if anything, is not a coincidence at all. Equipped with a multi-modal model, the software is way more capable than its predecessor GPT-3 since it’s able to access sound and image input—you can even ask the bot to create a menu by taking a picture of your inside fridge. – Satya Nadella, Chairman and CEO, Microsoft. And, as noted by Windows enthusiast @XenoPanther, the Copilot feature is coming to Word from Build 16325.20000 onwards.

ChatGPT on Microsoft Office 365 apps: Good news for many?

The launch of GPT-4 is surely a groundbreaking milestone in AI’s use among users, and its integration with Microsoft 365 apps is just the beginning. OpenAI has reached over 100 million active users within the first month of ChatGPT’s launch, but given the stature of Microsoft, it’s safe to say that the reach will expand even further. 🧵Here’s a summary: pic.twitter.com/mWIEpzjrwm — Lior⚡ (@AlphaSignalAI) March 16, 2023 According to the tech giant, almost 9 out of 10 developers on GitHub said that its copilot functionality helped them to become more productive, while others admitted that it had helped them to spend less time researching. SPONSORED The response has been quite exciting for the community, at least. Users on Reddit have said that the big milestone will result in large productivity gains, albeit acknowledging that it may be facing a bumpy road within the first versions. At the same time, just like every time a new groundbreaking technology gets announced, many people have voiced their concerns that the power of GPT-4 could cost them their jobs since it could potentially cut a few working hours off.

The AI war is getting heated

The news also arrived not too long after Google announced its first set of AI-powered writing features and assistants on several select users of Docs and Gmail. In short, the search engine giant is testing features to summarize Gmail threads, brainstorm on Docs, simplify slide creation on Slides, generate simple visuals from raw data on Sheets, and more. Just like what Microsoft is doing on 365. Additionally, Google also revealed its plan to develop an AI speech that could recognize over 1.000 most-spoken languages in the world, while its Bard chatbot is still far from primetime.
