To no one\u2019s surprise, AI functionality is now coming to Office <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>s.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft held its \u201cReinventing Productivity with AI\u201d live event today, where the company announced \u201cMicrosoft 365 Copilot,\u201d an umbrella term for various features powered by large language models (LLMs). The first wave of new features is coming to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Teams, which Microsoft says will help \u201cyou to unleash creativity, unlock productivity, and uplevel skills.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft Word is adding a Copilot feature that works a bit like the text generation functionality in ChatGPT or Bing Chat. You can give it a prompt, and it will generate draft text based on what you requested, with customization options for setting the tone. The main difference with Microsoft\u2019s implementation is that it can pull data from your other files. For example, you can ask \u201cDraft a two-page project proposal based on the data from [a document] and [a spreadsheet],\u201d and Word will ask you to confirm the files. The functionality seems like what Google Docs is testing, though Google\u2019s implementation doesn\u2019t appear to pull in data from your other files.<\/p>\n<p><video autoplay=\"autoplay\" loop=\"true\" muted=\"\" controls=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/copilot_word_gifs_web.gif?format=mp4\" title=\"Word screen recording\" width=\"730\" height=\"410.625\"\/><br \/><span class=\"imagecredit\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/deeplink?id=2QzUaswX1as&amp;mid=24542&amp;u1=htg\/879737|xid:{xid}&amp;murl=https%3A%2F%2Fnews.microsoft.com%2Freinventing-productivity%2F&amp;___trxnet=ls\">Microsoft<\/a><\/span><br \/>\nCopilot in Microsoft Excel is less focused on generative text, and aims more to help you analyze and explore data already in a spreadsheet. Microsoft said, \u201cIt will reveal correlations, propose what-if scenarios, and suggest new formulas based on your questions\u2014generating models based on your questions that help you explore your data without modifying it.\u201d It takes a while to learn all of Excel\u2019s various formulas, so having an assistant help you could be useful\u2026 as long as it doesn\u2019t break.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft PowerPoint\u2019s Copilot can help you convert written documents into presentation decks, complete with speaker notes and sources, or you can give Copilot a prompt to create a template. The announcement said you will be able to use commands like, \u201cCreate a five-slide presentation based on a Word document and include relevant stock photos,\u201d or \u201cReformat these three bullets into three columns, each with a picture.\u201d<br \/>\n<video autoplay=\"autoplay\" loop=\"true\" muted=\"\" controls=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/copilot-powerpoint_web.gif?format=mp4\" title=\"PowerPoint screen recording\" width=\"730\" height=\"410.625\"\/><br \/><span class=\"imagecredit\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/deeplink?id=2QzUaswX1as&amp;mid=24542&amp;u1=htg\/879737|xid:{xid}&amp;murl=https%3A%2F%2Fnews.microsoft.com%2Freinventing-productivity%2F&amp;___trxnet=ls\">Microsoft<\/a><\/span><br \/>\nMeanwhile, Microsoft Outlook is using Copilot to summarize email threads \u201cto understand not only what has been said, but the different viewpoints of each person and the open questions that have yet to be answered.\u201d You\u2019ll also be able to generate text in emails from a prompt, or make text you\u2019re writing longer or shorter if needed, much like what Google announced for Gmail.<\/p>\n<p>Copilot is also coming to Microsoft Teams, where it will attempt to summarize meetings you may have missed. Teams will have a \u201cBusiness Chat\u201d tab that functions like Bing Chat, but with access to data across all your documents, presentations, email, notes, calendar, and contacts. It\u2019s not clear if Business Chat will ever be accessible to personal accounts, but if it does, Microsoft will presumably give it a different name.<br \/>\n<video autoplay=\"autoplay\" loop=\"true\" muted=\"\" controls=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/copilot-outlook_web.gif?format=mp4\" title=\"Outlook screen recording\" width=\"730\" height=\"410.625\"\/><br \/><span class=\"imagecredit\">https:\/\/<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>.microsoft.com\/reinventing-productivity\/<\/span><br \/>\nThe new features look impressive, but there are many questions remaining about how effective the features will be, or even if they should be used at all. I certainly wouldn\u2019t want an AI trying to summarize something I say in a meeting or string of emails, because it could easily misinterpret my statements and give people the wrong idea.
