What if you could add to the tools you already use daily—Word, Excel, Outlook, and others from the Microsoft 365 suite—a real-time AI tool that enhances your creativity and productivity in task management? Learn how Microsoft Copilot is revolutionizing businesses of all sizes.
No matter your role within your organization, Microsoft Copilot has something for you. Streamlining tasks, automating workflows, and improving team collaboration are the strengths of Microsoft’s new AI tool, launched in November 2023.
Two months after its launch, Microsoft now announces a set of new features and updates to the market, including making Copilot available to businesses of all sizes, in a move towards democratizing AI. But first, let’s see what the tool consists of and how it is revolutionizing organizations worldwide.
How Can Microsoft Copilot Help My Business?
Microsoft Copilot is an Artificial Intelligence (AI) tool integrated with Microsoft 365 aimed at increasing productivity and efficiency for individual users, teams, and organizations as a whole. It uses AI to assist with daily tasks such as drafting emails, creating documents, analyzing data, among others.
With Copilot, it’s possible to automate repetitive tasks, saving time and freeing teams to focus on more strategic, innovative projects that drive company results. With a simple and intuitive interface, it easily integrates into the workflow and, thanks to the AI learning component, adapts to each user’s needs over time, providing more personalized and efficient support.
One of the most distinctive aspects of Microsoft Copilot is its integration with Microsoft 365 applications, such as Word, PowerPoint, Outlook, and others. Powered by ChatGPT-4, Copilot functions as a chatbot assistant available when applications are in use and can also be accessed online. Here are some of the possibilities offered by the tool:
- Creates PowerPoint presentations based on Word documents
- Assists in using Excel features, such as pivot tables
- Summarizes meetings in Teams for when you can’t attend or arrive late;
- Summarizes email threads with multiple replies, providing a summary of the subject discussed
- Drafts emails according to user instructions, adapting the tone of the message to the recipient.
- …
These are just a few examples of the possibilities that Copilot can bring to your organization. At the start of 2024, Microsoft announced a set of updates, including the launch of Copilot Pro, a premium service subscription that further explores the AI potential of the tool, the introduction of features such as Copilot GTP, Copilot app, and Copilot in the Microsoft 365 application, as well as broader access to the tool, now available for businesses of all sizes—including micro and SMEs.
Thus, as announced by Microsoft, Copilot is now available for small businesses through Microsoft 365 Business Premium and Business Standard plans, and the minimum purchase of 300 licenses has also been removed, making the tool available for Office 365 E3 and E5 customers.
