Microsoft 365 Copilot

Today's announcement of M365 Copilot is the natural evolution of the synergy between Microsoft and OpenAI's GPT language model. Microsoft has clearly forged ahead, developing a meld between their M365 ecosystem, the Microsoft Graph, and GPT which will revolutionize the way we communicate and collaborate. When it's rolled out, Copilot will be surfaced through the M365 apps (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Teams) and available as the new standalone interface Microsoft Business Chat.

The Copilot infrastructure combines the efficiencies of M365 apps we all use with the business data analytics of Microsoft Graph, and the Large Language Model processing of GPT. Requests flow from M365 to Graph, grounding the process in your data, then to the LML for naturalization, then back to the Graph for privacy, security, and sociability filtering, and finally return to the user for action.

Business Chat, a standalone experience of the Copilot ecosystem, will be accessible through microsoft365.com, Bing, and directly in MS Teams. It's touted as your "knowledge navigator", enabling fantastic feats of productivity like meeting preparation or summarizing client interactions by sleuthing through previous notes, meeting transcripts, emails, and Teams chats, extracting salient details, and presenting them in helpful ways.

Copilot and Business Chat will arrive quickly and change the face of business faster than any of us could dream! Are you prepared to bring these game-changing evolutions into your operations?
