"Having capabilities to generate a summarization of a white paper into a blog post and the ability to do it within your core productivity app reduces the friction around integrating these tools into workflows, because the user doesn't have to go to a different tool to use them," he wrote. The ability to use AI to summarize or synthesize within commonly used apps could have significant impacts on workflow, Rowan Curran, an analyst at Forrester, said in an email to CNET. Facebook parent Meta is experimenting with AI-powered chat on WhatsApp and Messenger, and Grammarly is launching an AI feature to craft email messages, social media posts and more. Google earlier this week said it's adding AI tools to its Workspace apps, including generative writing features in Gmail and Docs. The company is among a number of businesses racing to bring new AI capabilities to its services. When it unveiled the new Bing in February, Microsoft promised to integrate AI into more of its products. The tech giant also announced Business Chat, which uses AI across your Microsoft apps to aggregate information and return it in response to a written prompt.
Microsoft 365 copilot is currently being tested by 20 partners, though it'll be available "more broadly in the coming months," Microsoft said in a separate blog post.
It'll also draft email responses and summarize long email threads in Outlook. The Microsoft 365 Copilot can also create PowerPoint presentations and Excel data visualization with a prompt, Spataro wrote.
