On Thursday, Microsoft Business unveiled Microsoft 365 Copilot, which embeds artificial intelligence into apps like Word, Outlook, Teams, and Excel. Natural language processing is combined with Microsoft Office tools and capabilities to help workers automate or accelerate some of their more mundane work using Open AI’s ChatGPT technology.

Copilot is already debuting with 20 enterprise customers. Microsoft said it expects to make it available to its larger user base in the coming months.

“We believe this next generation of AI will unlock a new wave of productivity,” said Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft, in a livestreamed presentation.

The move follows the company’s debut of a new version of its search engine, Bing, which integrates the conversational AI tool, ChatGPT. It also comes just days after Google announced that it’s adding AI to its workplace software, Google Workspace.

In its demo of Copilot, Microsoft acknowledged that sometimes its AI might get things wrong or exclude important details, emphasizing that workers can choose to review, edit, or even discard results produced by the tool. It also adds some citations that show which of your files or conversations it used for its answers and suggests prompts you may want to use to continue working with Copilot.

Microsoft said that Copilot follows the customer’s security, compliance, and privacy policies for Microsoft 365, and that it doesn’t use company data to train its systems.

Workers can use Microsoft Copilot to generate text on a specific topic for an Outlook email, a Word document, a Teams message, and OneNote. It will either pull from its library of information, which includes information from OpenAI’s GPT technology as well as items or conversations within your Microsoft apps, or from the documents or materials you specify.
