Are you tired of spending countless hours on mundane tasks that leave you drained of energy and creativity? Do you yearn for a new way to work that allows you to tap into the core of your purpose? Look no further than Microsoft 365 Copilot, your new copilot for work.
This revolutionary tool combines the power of large language models (LLMs) with your data in the Microsoft Graph and Microsoft 365 apps to turn your words into the most powerful productivity tool on the planet. Copilot is integrated into Microsoft 365 in two ways: it works alongside you in the apps you use every day, such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Teams, to unleash creativity and uplevel skills, and it also introduces an entirely new experience called Business Chat.
Business Chat works across the LLM, the Microsoft 365 apps, and your data to do things you’ve never been able to do before. With natural language prompts, you can tell your team how you updated the product strategy, and it will generate a status update based on the morning’s meetings, emails, and chat threads. With Copilot, you’re always in control. You decide what to keep, modify, or discard.
Microsoft 365 Copilot transforms work in three ways: it unleashes creativity, unlocks productivity, and uplevels skills. With Copilot in Word, you can jump-start the creative process so you never start with a blank slate again. Copilot gives you a first draft to edit and iterate on, saving hours in writing, sourcing, and editing time. Copilot in PowerPoint helps you create beautiful presentations with a simple prompt, adding relevant content from a document you made last week or last year. And with Copilot in Excel, you can analyze trends and create professional-looking data visualizations in seconds.
We all want to focus on the 20% of our work that really matters, but 80% of our time is consumed with busywork that bogs us down. Copilot lightens the load. From summarizing long email threads to quickly drafting suggested replies, Copilot in Outlook helps you clear your inbox in minutes, not hours. And every meeting is a productive meeting with Copilot in Teams. It can summarize key discussion points and suggest action items, all in real-time during a meeting.
Copilot doesn’t just supercharge individual productivity. It creates a new knowledge model for every organization, harnessing the massive reservoir of data and insights that lies largely inaccessible and untapped today. Business Chat works across all your business data and apps to surface the information and insights you need from a sea of data.
Copilot will fundamentally change how people work with AI and how AI works with people. As with any new pattern of work, there’s a learning curve — but those who embrace this new way of working will quickly gain an edge.
