5 Ways to Leverage Microsoft 365’s New AI Innovations
#1 Speed Up Document and Content Creation
Microsoft Copilot is a versatile writing companion which can generate a variety of content for personal and business use. It can help you draft a report, craft a presentation, brainstorm an idea, or compose an email. Copilot provides intelligent suggestions that help you to articulate your thoughts and ideas effectively. It also ensures that your content is clear, concise, and tailored to your audience.
#2 Enhance Your Teams Meeting Experience
One of the key strengths of Copilot is the ability to enhance collaboration across teams. It can now summarise meeting notes and create an action item list. If you arrive late to a Teams meeting, you could ask it to summarise important points of the conversation, so you don’t miss anything.
#3 Create PowerPoints with Ease
AI-infused features in PowerPoint can create a slide deck for you based on text prompts. It can tap into Microsoft’s stock images to fill up your slides. Copilot can also suggest content based on your topic. If you need assistance with your PowerPoint slides, it can also help to reorganise your slides for better presentation flow.
#4 Enjoy Smart Business Insights in Excel
Excel Ideas is a new feature that can help you analyse and visualise your data with ease. Excel Ideas can automatically detect patterns and trends in your data. It will suggest charts, tables, and summaries that best suit your needs.
You can also use Excel Ideas to ask natural language questions about your data such as “What is the product with the highest profit margin?” or “Which region generated the highest sales over the last 6 months?”. You will get instant answers in the form of charts or formulas.
#5 Save Time in Outlook with AI Help
