Yousef Medi, Microsoft Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer of Consumer Products, wrote that we are entering a new era of artificial intelligence. At present, our relationship with technology and the way we benefit from technology are fundamentally changing. With the integration of human-computer chat interaction and large language models, this technology is now smart enough to allow you to use natural language to ask what you want to know, and answer, create or provide feedback in response to the question. From Microsoft's perspective, this is like having an intelligent co-pilot to help complete various tasks.
Microsoft said that Microsoft Copilot is positioned as "your daily AI companion", introducing artificial intelligence into users' most commonly used Microsoft products and forming a single experience.Including GitHub programming tools, Microsoft365 productivity collaboration toolbox, Bing search engine, Edge browser and Windows operating system, it also puts personal privacy and data security first.
First of all, Windows 11 updates will provide more than 150 new features,This includes introducing the powerful capabilities of Copilot into PC computers and integrating them into applications such as drawing, photos, and Clipchamp.Copilot can always be displayed on the taskbar (taskbar), or it can be started through the Win+C shortcut key.
in,Paint’s drawing capabilities will be enhanced through generative AI.Can be used for drawing and digital creation, adding background removal and layers and Cocreator preview capabilities. Photos photo function can use "background blur" to quickly highlight the subject of the picture.
SnippingTool screenshot toolCapture specific text content and paste it into other applications, remove text from screenshots to protect sensitive information, and even create video content with voice capture.Clipchamp video editorThere will be automated compositing capabilities to provide scene suggestions, editing and narrative creation based on images and footage.NotepadWill be able to automatically save note taking process. You can close Notepad at any time and continue working without interruption when you return to the application. Notepad will automatically restore previously opened tabs and unsaved content.
The new version of Outlook for Windows can connect to multiple (cloud) accounts from different companies such as Google and Apple, use smart tools to write clear and concise emails, and seamlessly attach important documents and photos in Microsoft OneDrive. A more modern file manager FileExplorer's home page, address bar, and search box make it easier to access important and relevant content, and you can collaborate without even opening a file. The new Gallery feature will make photo collections easily accessible. The Backup function can seamlessly transfer most files, applications, and personal settings from one Windows computer to another.
Usage examples include the following aspects. If the user copies a large amount of text in an email, Copilot will automatically pop up on the right side of the desktop to help summarize the key points of the email and search for important information in it, including directly giving the distance between different locations without copying and pasting into the map for each query. Copilot can also be used to solve mathematical problems. Screenshot charts and equations in PDF format and you can solve them in Copilot that pops up automatically. Copilot can also obtain content from the user's mobile phone (such as text messages). If the user wants to send flight schedules to family members, Copilot will import the data to the computer desktop upon request, and the message can be sent without even taking out the mobile phone.
Microsoft also announced new AI features for the Bing search engine and Edge browser,Relying on OpenAI's latest DALL.E3 large language model, which is heavily supported by Microsoft, it can provide more personalized answers based on the user's search history, a new AI-driven shopping experience, and a more mobile and visual BingChat Enterprise intelligent chat function.
For example, chat history can eliminate the need for repeated searches, and Bing will extract earlier conversations with the user to infer what information may be needed, such as telling the user whether a football team they searched for is playing at the next travel destination, or suggesting weekend activities suitable for the user to take their pet. Users can also choose to turn off chat tracking in Bing settings.
In the Copilot-powered shopping experience (Microsoft Shopping), Bing will ask users for more background details about the products they are searching for, such as their skill level in purchasing football boots, type of playing field, etc., and then help find suitable products and the best prices based on buyer reviews on the Internet, combined with coupons and promotional discount codes. In the future, you will also be able to directly enter photos or saved images to start your shopping journey.
The image creation function of BingImageCreator will become more powerful due to the DALL.E3 model, providing more beautiful creations and better rendering of finger and eye details, and can better understand user needs and provide more accurate images. For example, users can modify newly generated game avatars directly in chats with Bing, and the AI graphic design tool Microsoft Designer has also been integrated into Bing.
Microsoft Designer, which aims to use cutting-edge AI technology to quickly create visual effects, will become more powerful with the help of the DALL.E3 model. It can add image backgrounds that do not exist originally, or delete unnecessary objects, etc. It can also easily add original, higher-quality images to the user's design in a few seconds, making it more personalized.
In addition, Yousef Meidi posted that Microsoft 365 intelligent co-pilot has introduced a new core experience: Microsoft 365 Chat.Microsoft365Chat can sort out and retrieve all data at work, including emails, meetings, chats, documents, etc., as well as various information on the Internet. Not only can it answer simple questions, but it can also quickly complete complex and tedious tasks, such as writing policy documents, booking business trips, or following up on emails.
Designer, the newest member of the Microsoft 365 family of consumer apps, uses advanced artificial intelligence technology to quickly create impressive visual images, social media tweets, invitations and more. For example: Generativeexpand can use artificial intelligence to expand your image; Generativefill can add new content or background to the image; and Generativeerase can delete unnecessary content. The Dall.E3 model will soon be introduced into Designer to help image generation experience.
Designer will be integrated into the consumer-oriented Microsoft 365 smart assistant.Taking Word as an example, Designer can generate alternative visual images through the context of the document, and you can also upload your own photos to make it more personalized. In a very short time, a plain text document can be transformed into a document with pictures and text. With creative tools like Designer, as well as Clipchamp and drawing tools, you can instantly get a visual sketch of almost anything with a few simple prompts.
