Different teams have very different processes. The AI/Bing group is obviously much more "move fast and break things" than the OS group.
This is a really good thing, right?
Really. I used chatGPT quite a few times to summarize corporate spam emails to me. So this now makes things deliciously ironic: 1. BS Manager jolts down a few lines then AI outputs pompous bullshit from the raw bullshit she wrote. 2. I get the bullshit email and then use AI to distill the bullshit down to the essential bullshit
I am a DevRel so I work on the business side of the company but my intended readers are developers. Even though I was a skeptic at first, now I am a believer in practical usage of AI. I really struggle with writing CTAs or conclusive remarks. My writing style is dry and I write technical articles in a step by step manner assuming the reader has no to little understanding of the subject matter. I feel like developer d…

"In the months ahead..." 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".
I would argue that shipping to a limited test group qualifies in terms of measuring velocity, which is what the OP said they were impressed with. Launching to 10000 people vs 10000000 is a matter of scale (which is still important, but not the same thing as), not velocity.

This is exactly what should happen. The next step is to automate the translation to/from bullshit to normal speech. Then at some point we'll remove the translator and no one will notice.
Customers: Fault-tolerant queue with high throughput.
Developers: Sharded and disk-backed queue.
Marketers: Scales to handle large ML workloads.
Analysts: Enters enterprise BI market.

What a good secretary used to do, on both ends?
https://www.notion.so/ has very similar chatgpt integration, but it's live right now, and easy to try out for free. I'm not a notion user or employee; I just think if you want to see what having tight chatgpt integration with a word processor feels like right now, then Notion is fun to play around with.
EDIT: if they had this one feature, I probably would have been a paying customer for life. Instead, a worthless project for anyone who wants to use Notion for research notes, and book projects.

Curious if/when this will be available to users. This and Google's announcement happening in the same week makes me wonder how much of this already works.
"We are currently testing Microsoft 365 Copilot with 20 customers, including 8 in Fortune 500 enterprises. We will be expanding these previews to customers more broadly in the coming months and will share more on new controls for IT admins so that they can plan with confidence to enable Copilot across their organizations.
Today, the best way to get ready for Copilot is to get on Microsoft 365, the essential foundation for modern work. Microsoft 365 brings together in a single solution the foundational capabilities required, including identity, applications, management, and security, plus your enterprise data so that you can be AI-ready.
We will share more about pricing and details in the coming months."

One thing I hate MSFT is that once they have a hit product with a name. Anything follows, related or not. will have ride on it and eventually made it meaningless. It was ActiveXXX, it was XboxXXX, it was .NET XXX, it was PowerXXX, now it's Copilot. Their marketing team need to understand brand names carries weight and if you stuff too many unrelated in the name loses it and will confuse consumers. It's not a good ide…

Why not describe the end state after following all the steps? "You should now have a document with 1 page per recipient of your mail merge."
The parent's use of AI sounds like a perfect tool to help get the brain out of the 100ft view and into the 30,000ft view to write that summary.
I just used chatgpt for a similar purpose, I rewrote several paragraphs from the response and it took me some time iterating on my prompt. But, I'm sold on the use for this purpose. I don't enjoy writing. This helps me become a better writer and saves time.
