Copilot gains new functionality in PowerPoint, Word and more; see the news

Microsoft announced Many new features for Copilot Artificial Intelligence (AI). The Windows tool will gain new features mainly for Microsoft 365 (the old Office suite that bundles other services like Teams).

According to the company, artificial intelligence is more customizable and has gained greater mathematical abilities and analysis skills. The idea here is to make Copilot an even more important system when creating it.

The platform can now retrieve text formatting, style and tone preferences for authoring done in Word and PowerPoint (coming soon for other software), for example. In the Outlook example, AI can use the way you write your emails to receive instructions to write emails that “sound like me.”

New features have been added to Copilot in Excel, such as being able to operate in the Python programming language.

Another announcement is that Bing Chat and Bing Chat Enterprise will now only be Co-Pilot. According to Microsoft, it will continue to operate as a chatbot that answers questions, creates content and thinks about data.
