- Microsoft is soon to announce AI features coming to Office apps.
- The ChatGPT-like features will come to Word, Outlook, and PowerPoint.
- The company is expected to demonstrate the AI features in March.
According to reports, Microsoft plans to introduce ChatGPT and other AI integrations to its Office programs in the upcoming weeks. Shortly after releasing its AI-powered version of Bing, the software behemoth is getting ready to showcase new AI features for Word, Outlook, and PowerPoint, according to a recent story from The Verge.
According to the article, the corporation is continuing to push AI rapidly into its products because of Google, and somewhere in March it will reveal the integration of OpenAI’s AI language technology and its Prometheus Model for its Office programs.
According to an earlier story from The Information, the software giant has already been testing the text-generating GPT model into the desktop version of Word for the autocomplete feature and to better writing, though it is unknown what additions will be released. For instance, the business intends to integrate AI in Outlook to suggest email responses and enhance search results without the need for a specific keyword. Additionally, Microsoft is working on creating graphics and graphs for PowerPoint.
It is evident that Microsoft is attempting to become the leader in AI while simultaneously being prepared to compete with any comparable technology from Google by rapidly integrating AI into its products. Executives at Microsoft are certain that the business is in a far stronger position than Google about the AI integration that will be added to Bing and Office products. More than a million people have reportedly signed up to receive a preview of the new AI-powered version of Bing, and UBS analysts estimate that OpenAI ChatGPT has topped 100 million active users in just two months.
