Introducing Microsoft 365 Copilot—A whole new way to work
Microsoft ^ | 3/16/23 | Collette Stallbaumer

Posted on 03/16/2023 4:00:30 PM PDT by Callahan

Today, we announced Microsoft 365 Copilot—your copilot for work. Copilot combines the power of large language models (LLMs) with your data in the Microsoft Graph—your calendar, emails, chats, documents, meetings, and more—and the Microsoft 365 apps to turn your words into the most powerful productivity tool on the planet. And it does so within our existing commitments to data security and privacy in the enterprise.

Right now, we spend too much time on the drudgery of work and too little time and energy on the work that ignites our creativity and sparks joy….

Copilot is integrated into Microsoft 365 in two ways. It works alongside you, embedded in the Microsoft 365 apps you use every day—Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, and more—to unleash creativity, unlock productivity, and uplevel skills. Today, we’re also announcing an entirely new experience: Business Chat. Business Chat works across the LLM, the Microsoft 365 apps, and your data—your calendar, emails, chats, documents, meetings, and contacts—to do things you’ve never been able to do before. You can give it natural language prompts like “tell my team how we updated the product strategy” and it will generate a status update based on the morning’s meetings, emails, and chat threads...

Software enabling stupid bosses who impress their bosses with meaningless tables and power point slides enabled by brain dead software.

None of it matters if you do not have soft skills.

Is MS365 CoPilot related to Microsoft Bob?

Office 365 screwed up Outlook so I’m not enthusiastic about this bright new idea.

This is leveraging the AI that got integrated into every Windows 11 Bing search this last Tuesday.

Skynet is here.

Just one more ‘tool’ you rent and pay for every month from Uncle Bill.

“ It works alongside you, embedded in the Microsoft 365 apps you use every day—Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, and more—to unleash creativity, unlock productivity, and uplevel skills. ”

Does all the Microsoft 365 output often use verbs like “uplevel”?

You didn’t turn it off. You just removed the search feature.

It’s still there and it’s killing computers with SSDs.

MS365 is the biggest PITA I’ve ever had to use. It’s riddled with bugs, not at all user friendly, and wastes mort time than I’ve ever found with office products. I’ve searched the web at least 50 times to find a way to change the EXEL graph template and have found at least 50 different ‘solutions’ and none of them work. Office 97 was much better. Every change since then has simply made it worse.

It’ll automate the TPS report workflow.

I agree, I install Office 97 next to the newer versions on my machines.

I’ve had that software do weird things and a few times I had to reimage a laptop to fix after trying all sorts of supposed fixes.

Office 2010 gave me almost 0 trouble.
