(Microsoft Graph is the company’s API developer platform that connects multiple services and devices.)Ĭopilot in Microsoft’s new Business Chat feature, for example, can be used to create a summary of a chat conversation, pull out specific taking points, add recent contacts with customers, access entries in the Outlook calendar, and add slides from a presentation to create a business proposal - all based on the chat conversation. Officials referred to it as a “sophisticated processing and orchestration engine” that combines the power of LLMs, “including GPT-4,” with the Microsoft 365 apps and a user’s business data in the Microsoft Graph, which is now accessible to everyone through natural language.

Microsoft claims Copilot is more than OpenAI’s ChatGPT embedded into Microsoft 365. 'You’re always in control as the author, driving your unique ideas forward, prompting Copilot to shorten, rewrite or give feedback.'

'Sometimes Copilot will be right, other times usefully wrong - but it will always put you further ahead,' Jared Spartaro, Microsoft’s corporate vice president of Modern Work & Business Applications, said in the blog. Through the use of a chatbot interface and natural language processing, users can ask questions of Copilot and receive human-like responses, summarize online chats, and generate business products.Ĭopilot in Word, for example, can jump-start the creative process by giving a user a first draft to edit and iterate on - saving hours in writing, sourcing, and editing time, Microsoft said in a blog post. “Just as we can’t imagine computing today without a keypad, mouse or multitouch, going forward we won’t be able to imagine computing without copilots and natural language prompts that intuitively help us with continuation, summarization, chain-of-thought reasoning, reviewing, modifying and acting,” he said.Ĭopilot combines a large language model (LLM) with the 365 suite and the user data contained therein.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said the new 365 Copilot chatbot will “radically transform how computers help us think, plan and act. Microsoft has integrated the GPT-4 and ChatGPT functionality with Word, Excel, Teams, PowerPoint, Outlook, Power Platform, Viva, and other apps to enable users to pull data together to create everything from marketing campaigns and business proposals to slide presentations.
