They've been trying out a lot of things lately - Loops, Scheduling polls & email reactions in Outlook to name a few.
Excited to see how this will turn out.

#12Shipping at big companies can often be surprisingly hard so it's impressive to see how fast Microsoft is moving with AI integration into all their products.

#13I wonder if they will add this to the operating system as well? Like a gpt-powered clippy that can “see” your screen.
I thought about this yesterday, it would be relatively easy to pull it off using GPT vision and some basic OS integration

#14That seams to be one of the best use cases for this, provided you can run it without giving Microsoft a lot of data directly. Else this is a no-no for enterprises imo.
Many large enterprises already store almost everything on 365 and azure. Other than budget, the only thing they need to turn on copilot is for it to adopt the same data privacy guarantees already available in 365.

I think we'll get a glimpse of something similar in Windows 12, though I do wonder if they will limit it to Microsoft 365 users, since the compute costs of billions of users that only bought the Windows license would quickly add up.

My biggest takeaway from all of this. I’m very impressed with their velocity.

#17A couple of years ago I was on a walk with my wife and she asked me “what’s the point of Siri? it can hardly do anything useful outside weather and timers.” I told her a tall tale of how these things are essentially going to become our personal assistants in the future, they’ll know about our unique situations and can act accordingly. Just like the rich and powerful have people who specialise in organising their lives so they get more done in less time, so AI through natural interfaces will all of us many of those same benefits.
Progress… This is the first time I see a product that fits that description.

This is a service for companies that already store all of their e-mail, documents, files, chat, etc with Microsoft. If there was a concern about data privacy that company wouldn’t be using Microsoft 365 in the first place. I think the bigger concern is how your data is used for training. If it is at all, I don’t know.

Perhaps the slowing in their PC and cloud sales is motivating to move faster on these initiatives.

#20My first thought is, "gross"... now we'll have to wonder whether Manager X is even paying attention to the emails they're reading and responding to, or doing any actual work or thinking. Could lead to a world that's even more tilted towards politics and socially engineering your way up the ladder, versus competence and skill.
