Mary Branscombe / @marypcbuk : and that's Power BI insights back inside Excel https://twitter.com/... Carolina Milanesi / @caro_milanesi : what???? copilot autogenerates speaker's notes in @powerpoint 🤯- lol you can see my love and hate relationship with PowerPoint by how excited I am about this 🤣 https://twitter.com/...

Harry McCracken / @harrymccracken : So far, Microsoft is showing more and fancier generative productivity AI than Google showed on Monday. https://twitter.com/... Patrick McGee / @patrickmcgee_ : “We believe this next generation of AI will unlock a new wave of productivity growth with powerful co pilots designed to remove the drudgery, from our daily tasks and jobs, freeing us to rediscover the joy of creation.” - @satyanadella Patrick McGee / @patrickmcgee_ : Microsoft's Nadella says tech has entered a new era for productivity tools enhanced by AI. Says we've been using AI on autopilot; now we're making AI the co-pilot. “We made a conscious design choice to put human agency both at a premium, and at the center of the product.” Patrick McGee / @patrickmcgee_ : MSFT's head of Office 365 says “your co-pilot for work” will “turn your words into the most powerful productivity tool on the planet,” aiding you in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook teams and more. @harrymccracken : “Sometimes Copilot will get it right. Other times, it will be usefully wrong.” @harrymccracken : GitHub's Copilot brand for AI is spreading. https://twitter.com/...

When is the last time we've seen a tech race this close? https://twitter.com/... Leigh Drogen / @ldrogen : Google Docs about to fall wayyyyy behind https://twitter.com/... Simon Bisson / @sbisson : Microsoft's choice of Copilot as a name for its GPT-based tooling makes a lot of sense. This isn't a path to AGI, it's a way to deliver accessibility and assistance tooling. Remember, Vinge's original frame of the Singularity was Intelligence Amplification: IA not AI. Dina Bass / @dinabass : Microsoft is adding chatbots and OpenAI-based tools to its Office apps, including a new Business Chat that extends across the various apps to share info and perform tasks for workers. @emilychangtv talked to Satya Nadella: https://www.bloomberg.com/...

    At the Bing Copilot launch I said to more than one Microsoft spokesperson that they'd be putting it in Microsoft 365 next. I see it as a really important accessibility tool. https://twitter.com/...

    “We believe this next generation of AI will unlock a new wave of productivity growth with powerful co pilots designed to remove the drudgery, from our daily tasks and jobs, freeing us to rediscover the joy of creation.” - @satyanadella

    Microsoft's Nadella says tech has entered a new era for productivity tools enhanced by AI. Says we've been using AI on autopilot; now we're making AI the co-pilot. “We made a conscious design choice to put human agency both at a premium, and at the center of the product.”
  • @patrickmcgee_ Patrick McGee on x
    MSFT's head of Office 365 says “your co-pilot for work” will “turn your words into the most powerful productivity tool on the planet,” aiding you in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook teams and more.

    PowerPoint is getting the Copilot treatment. As a person who never mastered PowerPoint, this looks pretty useful! Now do Excel, too! https://twitter.com/...

    Interesting that both Microsoft and Google are releasing similar feature sets in the same week. When is the last time we've seen a tech race this close? https://twitter.com/...

    Microsoft's choice of Copilot as a name for its GPT-based tooling makes a lot of sense. This isn't a path to AGI, it's a way to deliver accessibility and assistance tooling. Remember, Vinge's original frame of the Singularity was Intelligence Amplification: IA not AI.

    Microsoft is adding chatbots and OpenAI-based tools to its Office apps, including a new Business Chat that extends across the various apps to share info and perform tasks for workers. @emilychangtv talked to Satya Nadella: https://www.bloomberg.com/...
