Currently in testing with select commercial customers, Copilot combines the power of large language models (LLMs) with business data and the Microsoft 365 apps, to unleash creativity, unlock productivity and uplevel skills.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Customers will experience Microsoft 365 Copilot in two ways<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Microsoft 365 Copilot isn\u2019t just a better way of doing the same things. It\u2019s an entirely new way of working. Copilot will work alongside Microsoft 365 customers in two ways:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>First, it is embedded in the Microsoft 365 apps people use every day \u2014 Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams and more.<\/li>\n<li>Today, the company also announced an entirely new experience: Business Chat. Business Chat works across the LLM, the Microsoft 365 apps, and a customer\u2019s calendar, emails, chats, documents, meetings and contacts to do things that people weren\u2019t able to do before. With natural language prompts like \u201ctell my team how we updated the product strategy,\u201d Business Chat will generate a status update based on the morning\u2019s meetings, emails and chat threads.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With Copilot, the customer is always in control. Customers decide what to keep, modify or discard. With these new tools, people can be more creative in Word, more analytical in Excel, more expressive in PowerPoint, more productive in Outlook and more collaborative in Teams.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCopilot combines the power of large language models with your data and apps to turn your words into the most powerful productivity tool on the planet,\u201d said Jared Spataro, corporate vice president, Modern Work and Business Applications, Microsoft. \u201cBy grounding in your business content and context, Copilot delivers results that are relevant and actionable. It\u2019s enterprise-ready, built on Microsoft\u2019s comprehensive approach to security, compliance, privacy and responsible AI. Copilot marks a new era of computing that will fundamentally transform the way we work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>A whole new way to work<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Microsoft 365 Copilot is seamlessly integrated in the apps people use every day, helping them stay in the flow of work and freeing them to focus more on the task at hand and less on the busy work.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Copilot in Word<\/strong> writes, edits, summarizes and creates right alongside people as they work.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Copilot in PowerPoint<\/strong> enables the creation process by turning ideas into a designed presentation through natural language commands.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Copilot in Excel<\/strong> helps unlock insights, identify trends or create professional-looking data visualizations in a fraction of the time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Copilot in Outlook<\/strong> can help synthesize and manage the inbox to allow more time to be spent on actually communicating.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Copilot in Teams<\/strong> makes meetings more productive with real-time summaries and action items directly in the context of the conversation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Copilot in Power Platform<\/strong> will help developers of all skill levels accelerate and streamline development with low-code tools with the introduction of two new capabilities within Power Apps and Power Virtual Agents.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Business Chat <\/strong>brings together data from across documents, presentations, email, calendar, notes and contacts to help summarize chats, write emails, find key dates or even write a plan based on other project files.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Microsoft has built Microsoft 365 Copilot with its existing commitments to data security and privacy in the enterprise, grounded in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/ai\/our-approach?activetab=pivot1:primaryr5\">AI principles<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/query.prod.cms.rt.microsoft.com\/cms\/api\/am\/binary\/RE5cmFl\">Responsible AI Standard<\/a> and decades of research. Copilot\u2019s large language models are not trained on customer content or on individual prompts. Microsoft 365 Copilot will deliver enterprise-ready AI at scale.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this month Microsoft announced <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.microsoft.com\/blog\/2023\/03\/06\/introducing-microsoft-dynamics-365-copilot\/\">Dynamics 365 Copilot<\/a> as the world\u2019s first AI Copilot in both CRM and ERP to bring the next-generation AI to every line of business.&nbsp;And now, Copilot is coming to all Microsoft productivity apps \u2014 Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, Microsoft Viva, Power Platform and more. Specifics on pricing and licensing will be shared soon. Microsoft 365 Copilot is already being tested with a small group of customers to get the critical feedback required to improve these models as they scale.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft (Nasdaq \u201cMSFT\u201d @microsoft) enables digital transformation for the era of an intelligent cloud and an intelligent edge.
