Posted 18th December 2023

Last year, we got a sneak peek into the future of AI in business with the introduction of ChatGPT. It gave us a glimpse of how artificial intelligence could support organisational growth and productivity. But this year, Microsoft has brought a game-changer to the table: Co-Pilot. It's not just a tool; it's a revolutionary approach to boosting productivity, promising a substantial 10% increase.

So, what's Microsoft Co-Pilot all about?

Think of Microsoft Copilot as your clever sidekick, seamlessly integrating into your workflow using advanced AI algorithms. It's designed to understand how you work and help optimise processes. For businesses dealing with the complexities of modern operations, this tool is a game-changer. Here are some key features of the tool:

• Personalised experience: One of the standout features of Microsoft Copilot is its knack for analysing data and offering actionable insights. Using machine learning, it learns from your actions, predicts your needs, and suggests solutions. This means a more personalised experience, allowing you to focus on critical tasks while Microsoft Copilot takes care of routine work.
• A virtual note-taker and facilitator: The collaborative capabilities of Microsoft Co-Pilot are impressive. Its features facilitate smooth communication and teamwork, making tasks more manageable. It acts as a virtual facilitator, ensuring everyone is aligned and working together toward shared goals.
• Prioritise Security: Microsoft Copilot prioritises security without compromising usability. AI opens a door to even more cyber threats than what we’ve seen before. With it’s use of algorithms, it can be compromised if in the wrong hands. Microsoft Copilot is said to safeguard sensitive business data, creating a robust digital environment.
• Every industry can benefit: Adaptability is another benefit to Microsoft Copilot. It tailors its features and recommendations to suit various industries. So whether you're in finance, marketing, or operations, Microsoft Copilot moulds itself to meet your unique needs.

However, Microsoft Copilot is still in its early days for AI. 

Preston Gralla of Computerworld gave a run-down of the newly-released Microsoft Co-Pilot –
Microsoft’sMSFT +0.8% “everyday AI companion.” After a trial run, Gralla concluded that Microsoft Copilot is efficient at completing basic tasks and can search for/retrieve valuable information in minutes. However, he emphasized that “Copilot also doesn’t give Windows any new capabilities.” One example – he asked Microsoft Copilot to create a new user account on his computer and it returned a series of instructions rather than doing the task on its own. He also listed a few miscellaneous commands – like switching his screen theme or checking for updates – and the AI seemed to bungle. It also produced inaccurate guidance with other commands. Gralla’s takeaway is that Microsoft Copilot is indeed helpful with simplifying existing features – but doesn’t deliver on more complicated tasks. (Source: Computerworld & Forbes.com)
 

In summary, despite the lack of qualities raised above, Microsoft Copilot is a game-changer for the everyday tasks of an organisation. With its ability to create docs, and presentations and attend more meetings than one, Microsoft Copilot is expected to boost operational efficiency by 10%. Its user-friendly design, collaborative features, security measures, and adaptability make it indispensable in today's competitive landscape. Embrace the future of productivity with Microsoft Copilot and witness your organisation soar to new heights!
