![]() And the idea of a Copilot sense: Microsoft’s GitHub Copilot for software engineers is huge. It’s only an aid so you can ignore it or turn it off at any time. The Copilot is good for starting something from scratch and also for fine-tuning your masterpiece. That’s why Microsoft may have nailed it this time. The simplistic tools get in the way: we need a tool that learns as we progress. ( Remember Clippy? Or Microsoft Bob?) Microsoft learned that “making systems easy” is hard. While some releases have been amazing ( the ribbon, for example), many turned into duds. Let me start at the beginning: Microsoft’s focus on business productivity is relentless, so they understand how we use our computers. Microsoft Has Been Trying To Improve Productivity For 40 Years The Many Implications Of This Announcement And to double down on the effort, LinkedIn announced a series of AI enhancements built on OpenAI too. ![]() They are clearly sitting on a massive announcement of their own, but the Microsoft – OpenAI momentum is massive. I sense the Google folks are trying to keep up with Microsoft, so their introduction felt incomplete. (Read the GPT4 research paper here.)Īnd Google, not to be left behind, introduced its own Generative AI for Google Workspace. He believes that this neural network is able to learn for itself, enabling the system to continuously improve its results. One of the vendors I trust told me last week that GPT-4 is the first AI model that actually learns faster than humans. It is significantly faster and smarter than it’s younger sibling, demonstrating how fast these neural networks are evolving. This week OpenAi released GPT4, which is the engine behind Bing Chat. (Yes Google will be threatened by this technology.) And just being able to search, find, and summarize things makes you realize that search, alone, is not enough. But once it works on your documents, which are validated and edited by you, the tool will be astounding. ![]() Its language abilities are superb, even though the quality of information on the internet may confuse it. I’ve been using Bing Chat for several weeks now, and I can attest that GPT-4 works very well. And the Business Chat can summarize across everything, answering questions like “summarize all the communications and information on last night’s outage.” You can rewrite text and tell the Copilot what “tone to use.” You can ask the Copilot to find emails about a topic and summarize what was agreed. If you miss a meeting you can ask the Copilot what was discussed and whether Susan, for example, discussed the big project you’re working on. The Copilot would remember that work and you could make it available to others. Imagine you analyze a spreadsheet and figured out an analysis of sales by product. The LLM does not share your local data, but you can “ground it” in your local information, so it develops “skills” (an AI term for learning) based on your information. Under the covers the Copilot is learning about your documents, schedule, and communications, so it gets smarter as you use it. ![]() You can easily modify or iterate its creations, so it’s your “trusty assistant” ready to help but also ready to stay out of the way. The word Copilot is significant: you are flying the plane, and he (or she) is there to help you. Everyone is going to have to learn to use this tool, because ignoring it will put you behind. In some sense this is as big as the invention of the spreadsheet itself. And by accessing the calendar and your contacts it can give you a history of work, activities, and projects. It’s intelligent enough to outline and summarize meetings, analyze a spreadsheet, and select graphics that fit the text or message of a presentation. Using the GPT-4 Large Language Model (LLM), the CoPilot can draft letters or documents, summarize information, create PowerPoint slides, and analyze data from Excel. What it does is pretty amazing, and I’m sure this is just the beginning. They call it “ Your Copilot for Work.”Īnd there’s more: not only does Copilot help you write, summarize, analyze, and search for information, a module called Business Chat works across the entire Microsoft Graph (the data set of all your Microsoft documents, emails, schedules, and information) to help you find materials, summarize them, and index them for business applications. The new release, entitled Microsoft 365 Copilot, delivers Generative AI tools and chat embedded in every module in the suite: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams and Viva. Microsoft is betting the farm on OpenAI and ChatGPT with the biggest upgrade to Microsoft 365 in decades.
