Microsoft, an American IT giant, has announced that it will introduce a new interactive AI that can create the necessary materials in a short time when instructions are given for existing document creation software.

On the 16th, Microsoft held an online event and announced a new interactive AI service named "Copilot" in English and "co-pilot" in Japanese to assist with office work.

By introducing this AI function on a trial basis to existing software such as "Word", "Excel", and "PowerPoint", it will be possible to create the necessary materials in a short time by entering sentences in the question field and giving instructions.

For example, "I created a presentation to celebrate my daughter's high school graduation and joined the drama club. The message you want to convey to her is bold and adventurous," and it will instantly select the photos and illustrations you need from the stored data and automatically create the materials.

In addition, during meetings of the online meeting service "Teams", if you instruct them to "summarize the discussions so far", it is possible to sort out who made what remarks and points that did not reach a conclusion, which will lead to more efficient clerical work.

In the field of interactive AI, which gives instructions in writing and derives necessary answers, in addition to Microsoft, Google and Meta are announcing new technologies one after another, and development competition is intensifying.
