Microsoft 365 Chat is a new, hero experience in Microsoft 365 Copilot (previously announced as Business Chat). Microsoft 365 Chat acts as a comprehensive assistant, delving into the vast expanse of your work-related data, including emails, meetings, chats, documents, and even web content. It possesses an in-depth understanding of you, your role, your priorities, and your organization. Rather than merely answering simple queries, it proactively assists you with complex or monotonous tasks.
Copilot will be integrated in the main Microsoft 365 Apps, such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams. Microsoft 365 Copilot works across the LLM (including GPT-4), the Microsoft 365 apps, and your data (Microsoft Graph) – your calendar, emails, chats, documents, meetings and contacts – and combines them to completely do tasks for you.
Using the new Microsoft 365 Chat (formerly Business Chat) feature of Microsoft 365 Copilot, you can type in a natural language prompt in any Microsoft 365 App and it will creatively do the task for you.
Example: In PowerPoint, you type in “Create a 15 slide presentation about the last quarters financial results using the [filename]”. Microsoft 365 Copilot will automatically create the full presentation based on your file’s content, structure it appropriately and it lets you make dynamic changes afterwards. For more info on how to prompt in Microsoft 365, read this Microsoft 365 Copilot Prompt Guidance.
With Copilot, users will make use of more features that are already available within Microsoft 365 Apps. As Microsoft puts it: “The average person uses less than 10% of what PowerPoint can do. Copilot unlocks the other 90%.”
