💻 Microsoft spent over a decade on the new Bing. The speed at which these tools are released, and the warning about mistakes, suggests tech companies have rediscovered their appetite to move fast and break things. And, just this week, nimble startup OpenAI announced a more advanced version of ChatGPT. Amazon has partnered with startup Hugging Face to create generative AI applications. Google said it was bringing AI chat to Gmail and Docs, after having rolled out Bard, the rival Microsoft’s AI bing. In recent weeks, a string of tech giants announced how they’re adding generative AI-the label for technology that generates new content like text, visuals, code-to their software. Whether these tools will ultimately succeed in making people more productive, however, remains to be seen. The idea that Microsoft’s chatbot can ease a writer’s block when it comes to creating drafts pushes the envelope, as it won’t merely help with organizing tasks, but also fulfilling them. Just last week, Salesforce announced it will integrate ChatGPT into Slack. Think: Slack, Notion, Asana, Airtable, the list goes on.
Microsoft is not the first tech company to roll out a tool aimed to help workers be more productive. The new rollouts come after Microsoft had announced a $10 billion investment into OpenAI, the startup behind generative AI tools ChatGPT and Dall-e, earlier this year. Microsoft said Copilot is currently in test mode and that it will preview the product more broadly in coming months. The AI-powered assistant is built on OpenAI’s technology, a large language model, combined with Microsoft’s apps that contain vast amounts of information on its users.
The chatbot “will fundamentally change the way we work and unlock a new wave of productivity growth,” said Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft, in a statement. There are also options to draft text that is “fun” or “minimal,” among other styles. The chatbot can also create a first draft of a PowerPoint, and can pull information from documents you drop into the interface. You could also ask Copilot to rate how the meeting went. If you’re late to the video meeting, you can ask the chatbot to catch you up on what was said in the meeting, and it will generate a response summing it up. What can you do when your company reverses on remote work? Millennials are just as wealthy as their parents Here's how 10 industries are experimenting with ChatGPT Just about a month after announcing the newest version of Bing with AI, Microsoft announced Thursday (March 16) that it is bringing an AI-assisted chatbot called Microsoft 365 Copilot to its office tools: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams. Microsoft Office is no longer flying solo.
