Microsoft is making a big bet on AI with its newly launched generative AI assistant Copilot, but some early adopters have been less than impressed.
Copilot — a team-up between Microsoft and OpenAI — plugs into Microsoft’s ubiquitous suite of apps including Word, Outlook, Teams, PowerPoint, and Excel to generate documents and presentations and summarize meetings and emails.Some companies testing Copilot loved that it saved them time.
Chemicals company Dow, which plans to roll out Copilot to half of its 35,900 employees by year’s end, praised the tool’s “tremendous efficiency gains” — a sentiment echoed by another early adopter, Lenovo, according to The Wall Street Journal.
