Coding is a difficult and sophisticated process that requires a thorough understanding of programming languages, algorithms and data structures. For beginners, it can be a frustrating and time-consuming process.  

What if you had an automated assistant at your beck and call, ready to aid you in all types of coding inefficiencies? That dream turns into a reality with Microsoft Copilot, an AI-powered coding assistant that helps developers write better code, faster.  

Revealed at Microsoft Ignite 2023, this revolutionary copilot experience transcends web browsing, PC usage, and work scenarios, reshaping how you effortlessly access skills. Microsoft, your trusted Copilot companion, is on a mission to bring the revolutionary power of Copilot to everyone, reshaping the landscape of both professional and personal tasks. 

As of November 1, 2023, Copilot for Microsoft 365 is now accessible to enterprises far and wide. Esteemed organizations such as Visa, BP, Honda, Pfizer, and Chevron, alongside partners like Accenture, EY,  KPMG,  Kyndryl, and PwC are already harnessing the remarkable capabilities of Copilot. 

The New Work Trend Index reveals that Copilot is not just a tool but a productivity and creativity enhancer, saving valuable time for users. An overwhelming 77 percent of users are reluctant to part with Copilot, citing its positive impact. Experiment results show a remarkable 29 percent overall speed boost in various tasks and a fourfold increase in catching up on missed meetings. 

Bing Chat and Bing Chat Enterprise are now seamlessly integrated into Copilot, making it even more accessible and user-friendly. This fundamental tool includes elements like question answering, content production, data reasoning, and real-time information access via web grounding. Copilot ensures commercial data privacy while logged in with Entra ID, protecting your chat data. 

At Ignite, Microsoft Copilot Studio takes center stage, supplying a low-code tool for customizing Copilot for Microsoft 365 and creating standalone copilots. This adaptable tool combines conversational capabilities such as custom GPTs, generative AI plugins, and manual topics.  

Copilot Studio improves copilot and custom GPT customization, testing, and publishing while ensuring secure management and analytics. Integration with Copilot for Microsoft 365 is currently in preview. 

Three exciting updates were revealed at Ignite: enhanced personalization, advanced mathematical and analysis capabilities, and Copilot’s active collaboration participation.  

Users can now tailor Copilot in Word and PowerPoint to their specific roles and preferences. Furthermore, for mathematical analysis, Copilot in Excel supports natural language interaction. 

New Copilot experiences in Teams will elevate it to a valuable meeting assistant in the coming year. Copilot in collaborative notes captures meeting discussions, and Copilot in Teams channels aids in post synthesis, action item extraction, and key decision review.   

The intelligent recap, integrated into Copilot in December 2023, provides meeting summaries with key points, action items, and decisions. 

Expected in early 2024, Copilot in Outlook helps users prepare for meetings by summarizing invitation details, related emails, and documents. Copilot also streamlines email thread navigation, offering summaries and proposing follow-up actions. It can even assist in scheduling meetings on specific topics, suggesting attendees, agendas, and available time slots. 

Copilot in Loop, integrated with Microsoft Loop, supplies intelligent page creation and workspace status, offering insights into the team’s progress and upcoming deadlines. 

Soon, Copilot in Word will support catchup and comments for quick document revision insights, while Copilot in PowerPoint will leverage a brand asset and image library for AI-generated visuals. 

The Microsoft Copilot Dashboard, powered by Viva, is now in preview. It offers insights into Copilot adoption, usage metrics, and its impact on productivity across Microsoft 365 apps. 

Topics in Copilot enable businesses to effectively distribute knowledge. The Windows App introduces new preview features that connect users to Windows in the cloud across multiple platforms. In early 2024, Copilot for Microsoft 365 will be seamlessly integrated into the Windows desktop.
