Microsoft Copilot, the generative AI from the North American company whose software is powered by Open AI’s GPT-4 iteration, continues to develop, and in the coming weeks plans to implement exciting improvements in key services such as Word, Excel, and OneDrive. In this way, Copilot continues to focus on enhancing the quality of service of applications focused on the work world.
The Microsoft productivity section is very important for the company, especially in the current digital era, where hundreds of millions of jobs are performed worldwide. Therefore, making Microsoft’s work ecosystem attractive, both for daily users and for the companies that hire them, is a crucial part of the company’s current business model.
Copilot keeps gaining space
As can be seen in Microsoft’s roadmap, the upcoming improvements based on Copilot will arrive in the coming weeks to Word, Excel, and OneDrive. In the case of Excel, Copilot will allow for the creation of multiple formulas through its commands; for Word, file linking will be made easier; and for OneDrive, Copilot commands will make it easier to find files.
The expansion of Copilot in Excel, Word, and OneDrive is a sign that, little by little, AI is being integrated more deeply into Windows 11. In fact, the growth of Copilot is such that the company’s plans to implement a Copilot key from this 2024 are already known, with the new Windows PC models that already have an exclusive key for Copilot with the aim of facilitating its use for users, without the need to navigate through menus to start this AI.
The weight of Copilot in Microsoft’s plans
Taking a look at the countless updates, improvements, and expansions that Copilot has experienced in just one year of existence, it is quite clear that Microsoft fully trusts in the performance of its Artificial Intelligence to add value to many of its most used applications by users, or to make services more attractive that they want to have more traffic. The first case would be related to Teams or future changes in Word and Excel, but the second case, for example, would be that of the Edge browser, which Microsoft desperately seeks to improve its popularity.
Furthermore, Microsoft is not only working on improving the Artificial Intelligence applications for its various services, but it is also working on improving artificial intelligence through eco-friendly means. In fact, in response to the potential energy problem posed by the proliferation of Artificial Intelligence in the world, which involves a high energy cost and the use of millions of liters of water as a coolant, Microsoft is working on developing an AI that, unlike Open AI’s, has a lower energy consumption and more sustainable environmental requirements.
