Shipping 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.
My biggest takeaway from all of this. I’m very impressed with their velocity.
One wonders if they used AI for these recommendations.
Yes, it’s pretty awesome and yes, helpful. But if we extend the timeline, doesn’t this likely lead to AI-generated responses talking to AI-generated questions about AI-generated presentations?

My 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.
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.
If it works as advertised, we are witnessing the complete reshuffling of (office) work and unprecedented productivity increases.
I'm wondering about the future job market.

The skill and competence of the coming world will be in prompt-writing.

They've not shipped this. They're planning to. You're reading a marketing piece about work in the pipe. Like so, so many other company product "launches" in this space that are "already testing with a small group of whatevers".

Given how bad the Bing integration has gone, perhaps we should wait and see what the actual results are before we get too impressed.
