Microsoft recently introduced Microsoft 365 Copilot, a new OpenAI integration designed to increase your productivity in Word, Excel, Teams, PowerPoint, Outlook, and more. This blog post gives you an overview of the different uses and benefits Copilot offers for Office products.
Copilot brings AI into Microsoft Office products
Microsoft has just introduced Copilot for all of its Office products and is showing (similar to Google the day before yesterday) how OpenAI integration can increase productivity. However, this is not "just" a ChatGPT integration, but with its "Copilot System" it includes further steps to increase quality and security (so much for the theory).
Smart Assistant for Meetings & Calendar: Outlook & Teams
Teams Premium already exists, but with the new Copilot integration you can now have emails written, summarized and more in Outlook.
Teams summarizes meetings you missed, prepares arguments from different perspectives on the topic of the meeting, and derives decisions and tasks.
You can also ask simple questions of the summary greece number dataset and Copilot will give you an answer from the meeting. But Copilot also helps with chats and can finally summarize them.
PowerPoint presentations made easy
The video demo looks a lot better than the Google presentation. But of course this is just a scripted demo. With Copilot for PowerPoint you can create your slides or entire presentations by entering text. This includes graphics, designs and animations.

For documents (Word) and tables (Excel)
Of course, Excel and Word also play a crucial role. There are already many external tools that have been involved in integrating AI functions into documents and tables. This allows you to expand, create, edit texts or prepare your tables using natural language. That was to be expected

For your notes and tasks (OneNote)
Copilot also plays a crucial role in Word and Excel, allowing you to expand, create and edit texts and prepare tables using natural language.
NEW: Business Chat
Business Chat is a completely new product that is supposed to work similarly to ChatGPT, but can work with your Office data or meetings. Pretty exciting if you manage everything with Microsoft anyway and are constantly looking for something.
