Is AI Taking Over (MS 365)?

by Jon Lober | NOC Technology

And could that actually be a good thing for your business?

Can we talk about artificial intelligence?

No, it’s not taking over the world (or is it?), but it is definitely changing how we handle our workload. Microsoft Copilot is one of the newest tools in the Microsoft 365 toolbox that is a great representation of how AI can transform your workflow. It's like having a hyper-efficient assistant who is already an expert on all the M365 apps you currently use.


Seamless Integration with Microsoft 365

Here’s what we mean when we say that Microsoft Copilot works effortlessly within the Microsoft 365 environment, enhancing the functionality of the applications you use daily.


  • Outlook: Copilot can prioritize your emails, draft responses, and schedule meetings based on your preferences. Have a ton of emails that look like a chore to get through? Copilot can summarize them concisely in seconds.
  • Word: Copilot makes writing easy by suggesting edits and updates and helping you format text to meet your requirements.
  • Excel: Data-driven decision making has never been easier. Copilot analyzes the data you enter, then generates reports and creates visualizations based on it.
  • Teams: Copilot helps you prepare for your scheduled meetings and keeps them on track by summarizing discussions and tracking action items: all you have to do is show up!
  • PowerPoint: Copilot designs visually appealing slides, incorporates relevant data, and refines your presentations in the click of a mouse.


The Benefits of Integration

As you can see, Copilot gives your M365 applications a boost and helps you use them more efficiently. Here are a few other tangible benefits of integrating Copilot into your daily work routine:


  • Enhanced Productivity: By automating routine tasks, Copilot boosts your overall productivity and helps you accomplish more in less time.
  • Consistency and Accuracy: Copilot ensures that tasks are performed consistently and accurately, reducing the risk of errors.
  • Ease of Use: Since Copilot is integrated directly into Microsoft 365, there is no steep learning curve: it works within the familiar interface of the applications you already use
  • Scalability: Copilot scales to meet your needs whether your team is small or large, enhancing efficiency across the board.
