The Microsoft 365 listing shows that Copilot will soon be included in Forms: “To save time, users can create questionnaires from documents, textbooks, or notes using Copilot. Copilot can create questionnaire drafts based on the provided materials and user instructions”.

And in May, another Copilot feature will be added to Microsoft Loop’s online collaboration service: “Collaborate with Copilot to go from a blank page to a structured document ready for collaboration as quickly as possible. Start from scratch or select an existing page or template as a starting point and Copilot can modify it for the task at hand”.

More news coming to Copilot

Another mention about Copilot is that the ability to use plugins on the Copilot site, which was launched as a preview in March, will be officially available to the public sometime in December, according to the recently updated roadmap listing.

If you use Microsoft Teams on your Windows desktop and Mac, you will get an additional feature when you enable screen sharing sometime in June. When you activate this feature, it will automatically set the Do Not Disturb mode.

This is all for our review of the highlights of this week on the Microsoft 365 roadmap. As soon as we have news about Copilot, we will bring them here.

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.

Microsoft Copilot, the generative Artificial Intelligence designed by Microsoft, continues to expand both at the user and commercial level. In fact, in the latter case, Copilot for businesses already has both its exclusive panel and the educational version that will provide interesting support to employees who are learning to use Artificial Intelligence in their daily lives.

Copilot is shown, in this way, as an increasingly integrated system within the work and productivity ecosystem that Microsoft offers to its clients. Whether one has a more positive or more skeptical position regarding the current rise of AI, Microsoft remains firm in its plans to position Copilot as one of the main agents in its product and service offering.

Copilot keeps expanding

As Microsoft has already officially announced, the Copilot panel and its educational version are now officially integrated within the Microsoft 365 ecosystem, which, in addition to well-known professional applications, has increasingly relied on the features that Copilot offers to customers and users.

The Microsoft Copilot Project

As the months go by, it can be seen how the Microsoft project around Copilot continues to grow without an apparent end. Since this AI was launched in early 2023, Copilot has been gradually colonizing services, as happened, for example, with the Edge browser, even immersing the branding of Bing Chat, and in other systems more focused on productivity like Microsoft Teams, where it currently has great synergies to improve the user experience.

With these movements, it is clear that Microsoft blindly trusts, not only in Copilot specifically, but also that Artificial Intelligence will continue to lead the way in technological advancements in the short and medium term, without it being a passing trend that will fade away in a few years. Certainly, this last possibility seems less and less likely, as companies have made an effort to increase the presence of Artificial Intelligence in the daily lives of users exponentially, whether it be in internal photo editing applications, chat systems, and many other uses that are being given to this technology.

Microsoft Copilot, the well-known Artificial Intelligence that is driving Microsoft’s service strategy today, is also advancing. Now, Copilot for security is a fully available service for those users willing to pay the fee for this service.

The American company continues to show great interest in Microsoft Copilot and everything it can offer to users. Being an AI with high adaptability, the possibilities that this service has are practically unlimited, so little by little, the company continues to implement innovations to this system powered by OpenAI’s databases.

Available after several months of testing

As Microsoft has officially announced, Microsoft Copilot for security is now fully available for purchase. With a wide capacity to offer cybersecurity-based services, bug fixing, problem searching, and other types of security-based IT management, Copilot can become a powerful ally to prevent common software security issues.

This system allows technicians to speed up their work in many of the most tedious actions to focus on other aspects of greater technical value. With this, Microsoft Copilot for security is shown as a potentially useful tool for security teams looking for a boost in the agility of certain operations.

The expansion of Copilot in Microsoft

The expansion of Copilot is more than evident, after a year since Microsoft announced this service to the general public. Considering that Artificial Intelligence is currently the main point of interest for big tech companies, the company’s interest in continuing to enhance its services through this system is more than evident. Now they are trying to offer a security service based on Copilot, but there are many more options that Copilot offers to users.

Without going any further, Copilot already works completely autonomously within services like Microsoft Edge, where the AI, as a conversational feedback system, will give the user the answers according to the commands or questions that the human person enters into the system. Gradually, it has also been implemented in other services, where, for example, the support it offers in applications like Teams stands out, thanks to the content summaries, both of messages and meetings, that it can carry out.

Intel, Microsoft, Qualcomm and AMD have been insisting for months on the idea of a computer with built-in artificial intelligence as we approach more AI-powered features in Windows.

Although we are still waiting to learn the details of Microsoft’s big plans for AI in Windows, Intel has started sharing Microsoft’s requirements for OEMs to build an AI PC, and one of the main requirements is that an AI PC must have Microsoft’s Copilot key.

Microsoft wants its OEM partners to provide a combination of hardware and software for its idea of an AI-powered PC. This includes a system with a Neural Processing Unit (NPU), the latest CPUs and GPUs, and access to Copilot. You will also need to have the new Copilot key that Microsoft announced earlier this year.

Without Copilot key you are not an AI PC

This requirement means that some latest generation laptops, with the new Intel Core Ultra chips, are not technically AI PCs in the eyes of Microsoft’s strict requirements because they do not have the Copilot key.

I’m sure both Intel and Microsoft expect original equipment manufacturers to simply adhere to Microsoft’s requirements and add the Copilot key over time.

However, it is still unclear what OEMs will get in return for adhering to Microsoft’s definition of AI-powered PCs. Beyond the requirements for AI-powered PCs, Intel is also expanding its AI-powered PC acceleration program that it launched in October.

It is designed to get software developers interested in AI-based features for their applications, and it is now being expanded to reach smaller developers through an AI PC developer program.

Microsoft will hold an event on AI and Surface on May 20th, where CEO Satya Nadella will present the company’s vision on AI hardware and software.

Copilot Pro, the premium service of Microsoft Copilot that provides access to special features based on Artificial Intelligence, is now starting to give users access to its GPT Builder tool, a service that allows users to design their own generative AI variations quickly and easily.

In this way, users with access to Copilot Pro will not only be able to use the basic tool of the Microsoft Copilot paid service, but they will also have the possibility of training an Artificial Intelligence by providing it with the learning they consider relevant to adapt their service to specific requirements, whether they are based on text or generative images.

Creating a Custom AI

As Michael Schechter, one of the developers of Copilot, has announced through social networks, the GPT Builder tool is now available for Copilot Pro users, although, according to initial reports from other users, it seems that, for now, this feature is only available in the United States, and it has not yet been implemented in other regions.

Taking into account the particularities of data usage laws in regions such as the European Union, it is logical for Microsoft to opt for a phased release to ensure that this tool, which can be sensitive, complies with the regulations of their respective territories. Additionally, this tool is in the testing phase, making it easier to draw conclusions with a more limited sample.

Full freedom for users

In this way, the GPT Builder tool offers great freedom to users who want to create a segmented Artificial Intelligence with more specific functions. Through the option to import files to generate learning, each user can make their AI a personal element. In addition, it can also be shared, for those who do not want to keep their versions in the private sphere.

However, it can also be somewhat problematic, as each user can provide conflicting or dangerous learning to the AI, and along with the possibility of sharing this customized iteration, problematic and harmful disseminations can be made at many levels. No details have been given on how Microsoft will act in response to these practices, although it would be expected that problematic uses are cut off at the root by the company.

Windows 11 continues to advance in its roadmap of updates for Microsoft Copilot, and the Canary versions, where you can experiment with the new features that Microsoft wants to implement, now have several of the innovations that the company wants to implement in the field of Artificial Intelligence.

Microsoft Copilot is almost celebrating its anniversary, as it was introduced to the public in March 2023, and taking a look at the package of new features that are already being tested, there is no doubt that the company wants to take a big leap in terms of improvements and advancements.

New Features for Copilot

The Canary versions of Copilot present one of the most tangible advances within the application, and as Neowin shows, it is constantly evolving and developing. If in recent months Microsoft was concerned with integrating Copilot into its applications and services, in these tests the current interest can be seen in deeply integrating it into the Windows 11 base system.

With the functions being tested in Canary versions, Copilot is getting ready with:

• System functions. You will be able to ask Copilot for your IP, battery information, system information, available internet connection networks, empty the recycle bin, activate power saving mode, clean your device’s storage, and many other commands.
• Accessibility improvements. Copilot will be compatible with activating narrator mode, enabling voice access, changing text size, activating high contrast, performing text dictation, and more commands to improve system accessibility.
• Power Ultimate. This plugin will provide Copilot with new intelligent assistance functions, allowing you to request commands such as renaming documents, sending emails to coworkers, creating a list of the tallest mountains in an Excel, and much more.

Copilot, the present and future of Microsoft

Being Artificial Intelligence one of the most thriving phenomena within the current technological landscape, Microsoft Copilot was introduced in 2023 as the generative AI version of Microsoft with which there would be all kinds of compatibilities within its ecosystem, whether with basic device services, with specific applications also developed by Microsoft, or as it also works on iOS and Android smartphones.

Little by little, Copilot has been gaining ground and it is currently difficult to think of Microsoft’s roadmap without Copilot being seen as one of the cornerstones of their strategy. This has granted them multiple advances in many areas, but it has also generated fatigue in users who are not so excited about current Artificial Intelligence models. That’s why they have even released tools to disable Copilot services within Windows.

Microsoft Copilot, the Artificial Intelligence designed by Microsoft, will have improvements in data protection for users who actively use it. This improvement will ensure both individual users and companies that the AI will not collect illicit data, as it will not process them and they will not be part of the system’s learning and training.

Copilot will not use user information

As the company has revealed through the Bing blog, Copilot is being prepared to maximize the protection of user and company data that use this system. With this, Microsoft wants to make it clear that the company’s priority is to show that it has no interest in user data while using Copilot services in its 365 versions.

It is evident that Copilot is becoming a fundamental piece of Microsoft’s brand strategy, and precisely for that reason they want to distance it from some of the main stigmas that AI currently has. For its part, Copilot is already deeply integrated into various Microsoft services, such as Bing or Teams, where it offers considerable support to the user.

AI and the use of data

One of the concerns that many users have when using Artificial Intelligence is the mere fact of being part of the learning and training process by the AI. As these tools are constantly evolving, many of these systems used the users’ own usage to create variations and advancements in various subjects. However, over time, it has been shown that, in many cases, this has ended up “dumbing down” the AI.

However, many users find it quite ironic that an AI, which is trained precisely by collecting data massively illicitly through the Internet, has to actively demonstrate a system that ensures that Copilot will not use user data to continue improving.

This is a topic with many facets, and countries like the United States have already started regulating it. Likewise, the European Union is also making progress to have legislation that protects users from the abuses that Artificial Intelligence can carry out in all aspects.

Microsoft Copilot continues to gain ground within the company. The Chat 365, present in Microsoft Teams enterprise accounts that have active Microsoft 365 subscription, becomes Copilot, in a new move that aims to further increase the weight of Artificial Intelligence branding within Microsoft itself.

The Copilot service was already integrated as an assistant within Teams, but with the rebranding to Chat 365, this name gains more weight within the application, thus revealing the brand’s strong interest in highlighting its Artificial Intelligence.

Copilot replaces Teams’ Chat 365

This change, announced in the official Microsoft blog, means that Chat 365 ceases to exist as such and will be renamed Copilot, thus unifying in a single brand the AI-based services that Microsoft offers in its different applications. In addition to that, they have also implemented various improvements with the aim of continuing to enhance the functionalities previously offered by Chat 365.

The main improvements are, in particular:

• Possibility to take a look at the chat history with Copilot within Teams.
• Access to the library of commands available through Copilot Lab.
• General improvement of the commands, expanding the coverage of the service and the possibilities it offers.

Copilot, the axis of branding

With this new move, it can be appreciated the interest that Microsoft has in giving more and more prominence to Copilot, its generative AI. In fact, it is not the first service that goes through a rebranding that eliminates its original name, since in recent months Bing Chat was also eliminated as such to offer the same services through Microsoft Copilot. With this, the company continues to want to unify its services under a more catchy name.

In fact, Copilot has already colonized most of Microsoft’s main services. It can be seen in services like Teams, not only as a chat, but also as an assistant to summarize content, and even capable of assisting in meetings or video calls by the user. Also in Outlook, to offer support and assistance for email management. And, of course, also in Edge, where one of its main interfaces is located.
