Everything is ready for the Microsoft event at 4 pm, where the company will unveil many innovations in artificial intelligence, and perhaps among these one has emerged ahead of its time. We know that the potential of ChatGPT will also be applied in the Microsoft 365 suite, and in advance of the event the credible leaker WalkingCat shared on Twitter a video that reveals one of the novelties that we will find in PowerPoint.
The 15-second video highlights the new artificial intelligence feature called Copilot, which will allow users to use natural language to ask PowerPoint to create entire presentations based on a particular topic and even the ability to reference other documents for information and inspiration.
If the name is not new to you, it is because something similar has already been included in the recent Edge update. Copilot is based on ChatGPT and uses artificial intelligence to generate content. In the case of PowerPoint it will allow users very specific tasks, accepting very descriptive commands to add animations to slides or change presentation styles.
Microsoft is betting everything on artificial intelligence since the recent growth in the use of Bing, after the inclusion of Bing Chat, is reason enough to push on the accelerator. Bing has reached 100 million daily active and does not seem willing to stop, and Microsoft for its part is ahead of the main competitors.
The race to artificial intelligence is affecting all the big tech companies and even minor realities. We’ve seen how Opera is working to insert AI functionality into the browser of the same name, and it’s recent news that LinkedIn (which Microsoft owns) is also adding artificial intelligence tools to generate content for the user profile and automatic job descriptions.
The new profile and job request tools are just the latest in a series of AI-powered features the company announced recently earlier this month. LinkedIn said it would use artificial intelligence systems to generate prompts for “collaborative” articles that human users can contribute to.
