In a pre-recorded demo event dubbed “The Future of Work With AI” — which felt to this reporter like a highly produced infomercial (“Wait, there’s more!”) — Microsoft capped an epic week in generative AI by announcing Copilot 365 to “change work as we know it.”
Layering on to the earlier “Copilot” verbiage that accompanied its Bing announcements last month, Copilot 365 combines large language models — namely GPT-4, which Microsoft confirmed powers Bing — with Microsoft Graph data (from your calendar, emails, chats, documents, meetings) and Microsoft 365 apps including Teams, Word, Outlook and Excel.
