Microsoft Copilot can do all your office work for you
Microsoft has outlined its vision for how artificial intelligence (AI) will revolutionize our work lives and announced its intention to incorporate AI intelligence into its suite of Office applications. The company's CEO Satya Nadella and Jared Spataro explained the future of working with AI at a recent company event.
One exciting innovation is the AI-powered Copilot, which will be at your fingertips in PowerPoint and other Office applications. This tool can produce entire presentations with just a few text commands, allowing users to be able to dictate animations and style preferences for each individual slide. Copilot can also help users write speeches, prepare group emails, and create to-do lists.
To realize these capabilities, Copilot combines Microsoft 365 applications, Microsoft Graph, and a massive language model, GPT-4, to examine files and data and learn how to help users most efficiently. This integration goes beyond connecting ChatGPT to Office.
Microsoft's AI journey
Microsoft's AI efforts faced criticism after OpenAI's ChatGPT chatbot was integrated into its products. Reports of unpredictable behavior and disturbing messages emerged after the launch of Bing Chat powered by GPT-4. However, Microsoft's persistent investment in AI technology is shaping the future of work and the way we engage with technology.
Microsoft is accelerating its efforts to incorporate OpenAI's broad language models into the Microsoft 365 suite and has just released an AI-powered chatbot for Bing. Google made a similar announcement just a few days ago, unveiling its own AI capabilities for Google Workspace, including AI-powered text generation in Gmail, Docs, and other applications.
Currently, Microsoft is having a test run of Microsoft 365 Copilot with 20 customers and plans to expand the preview in the coming months. Microsoft said in a blog post that they will provide additional information about pricing and details in the coming months.

Are these articles AI generated?
Now the duplicates are more obvious.
This is below AI generated crap. It is copy of Microsoft Help website article without any relevant supporting text. Anyway you can find this information on many pages.
Yes, but why post the exact same article under a different title twice on the same day (19 march 2023), by two different writers?
1.) Excel Keyboard Shortcuts by Trevor Monteiro.
2.) 70+ Excel Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows by Priyanka Monteiro
Why oh why?
Yeah. Tell me more about “Priyanka Monteiro”. I’m dying to know. Indian-Portuguese bot ?
Probably they will announce that the taskbar will be placed at top, right or left, at your will.
Special event by they is a special crap for us.
If it’s Microsoft, don’t buy it.
Better brands at better prices elsewhere.
All new articles have zero count comments. :S
WTF? So, If I add one photo to 5 albums, will it count 5x on my storage?
It does not make any sense… on google photos, we can add photo to multiple albums, and it does not generate any additional space usage
I have O365 until end of this year, mostly for onedrive and probably will jump into google one
Photo storage must be kept free because customers chose gadgets just for photos and photos only.
What a nonsense. Does it mean that albums are de facto folders with copies of our pictures?
Sounds exactly like the poor coding Microsoft is known for in non-critical areas i.e. non Windows Core/Office Core.
I imagine a manager gave an employee the task to create the album feature with hardly any time so they just copied the folder feature with some cosmetic changes.
And now that they discovered what poor management results in do they go back and do the album feature properly?
Nope, just charge the customer twice.
Sounds like a go-getter that needs to be promoted for increasing sales and managing underlings “efficiently”, said the next layer of middle management.
When will those comments get fixed? Was every editor here replaced by AI and no one even works on this site?
Instead of a software company, Microsoft is now a fraud company.
For me this is proof that Microsoft has a back-door option into all accounts in their cloud.
quote “…… as the MSA key allowed the hacker group access to virtually any cloud account at Microsoft…..”
unquote
so this MSA key which is available to MS officers can give access to all accounts in MS cloud.This is the backdoor that MS has into the cloud accounts. Lucky I never got any relevant files of mine in their (MS) cloud.
>”Now You: what is your theory?”
That someone handed an employee a briefcase full of cash and the employee allowed them access to all their accounts and systems.
Anything that requires 5-10 different coincidences to happen is highly unlikely. Occam’s razor.
Good reason to never login to your precious machine with a Microsoft a/c a.k.a. as the cloud.
The GAFAM are always very careless about our software automatically sending to them telemetry and crash dumps in our backs. It’s a reminder not to send them anything when it’s possible to opt out, and not to opt in, considering what they may contain. And there is irony in this carelessness biting them back, even if in that case they show that they are much more cautious when it’s their own data that is at stake.
