Today, we are bringing the power of next-generation AI to work.
Introducing Microsoft 365 Copilot — your copilot for work.
Copilot combines the power of large language models with your data in the Microsoft Graph and the Microsoft 365 apps, accessed through natural language - to turn your words into the most powerful productivity tool on the planet.
Copilot is integrated into Microsoft 365 in two ways.
First, it works alongside you, embedded in the apps millions of people use every day.
Now, you can be
More creative in Word,
More analytical in Excel,
More expressive in PowerPoint,
More productive in Outlook and
More collaborative in Teams.
Second, we’re introducing an entirely new experience – Business Chat – that works across all your data and apps – your documents, emails, calendar, chats, meetings, and contacts
— to do things you’ve never been able to before.
It accesses your calendar, emails, chats, documents, meetings, and contacts—to do things you’ve never been able to do before.
You can give it natural language prompts like “tell my team how we updated the product strategy” and it will generate a status update based on the morning’s meetings, emails, and chat threads.
And, Microsoft 365 Copilot is built on Microsoft’s comprehensive approach to security, compliance, privacy, and responsible AI – so you know it’s enterprise ready.
To build what you just saw, we didn't simply connect ChatGPT to our Microsoft 365 apps and hope for the best – we’ve been working for years to get to this point.
Let's look under the hood to see how The Copilot System works.
Our products are so rich and powerful, but most people tap into less than 10% of what our apps are capable of.
What if the tools could learn how you work, rather than the other way around?
Microsoft 365 Copilot works alongside you in the apps you use every day.
Using just your own words, you can put Copilot to work – gathering information in real time from across your data and apps to unleash creativity, unlock productivity, and uplevel skills.
Let’s begin with creativity.
If you ever stared at a blank page wondering how to begin a document – that experience is over.
Copilot will jump-start the creative process, so you never start with a blank slate again.
Let’s see what Copilot in Word can do for you.

Recap with customers post video:
As you saw, Copilot is a game changer.
It writes, edits, summarizes, and creates right alongside you.
Let me do a quick and fun demo to you
Have you ever felt low on creativity, looking for that little bit of inspiration?
Copilot in PowerPoint can do to bring your ideas to life. Let’s watch.

Recap with customers post video:
It’s remarkable.
Copilot becomes your storytelling partner.
It can transform existing written documents into decks complete with speaker notes and sources.
As you saw, you can start a new presentation from a simple prompt or outline. All with the ease of natural language commands.
Let’s check out Copilot in Excel, it analyze trends and create professional-looking data visualizations in seconds.
<< Click to play demo >>
Recap with customers post video:
As you witnessed, Copilot in Excel puts all the rich capabilities of Excel at your fingertips.
It generates models based on your questions that help you explore your data without modifying it.
Now you are a numbers person.
We all want to focus on the 20% of our work that really matters, but 80% of our time is consumed with busywork that bogs us down.
Copilot is a time saver and productivity booster.
How much of your day is spent trying to catch up on or just get through your inbox?
Copilot in Outlook helps you clear your inbox in minutes, not hours or days. Let’s take a look.

Recap with customers post video:
Copilot lightens the load.
As you just saw, from summarizing long email threads to quickly drafting suggested replies.
===========================================now our SME of Teams will show you some new features of Copilot to unlock your productivity with teams and uplevel your skills.
Wouldn’t it be amazing if every meeting was more productive?
Teams has changed collaboration forever – but it can also be hard to keep up with all those chats.
Let’s see how Copilot in Teams changes your experience.
<<click>>
Recap with customers post video:
As you saw - Copilot can summarize key discussion points—including who said what and where people are aligned and where they disagree—and suggest action items, all in real time during a meeting.
Now you can unlock the magic of efficient and effective meetings.
Here are some additional ways Copilot integrates to Microsoft 365
Copilot can help you stay on top of it all – summarizing Teams chats so you know what you missed.
<<click>>
Recap with customers post video:
You can simply ask Copilot to create a summary of all the conversations.
It produces a summary with citations, so that you can verify the details, refine it as needed, and post your update.
Anyone can prompt Copilot to build on each other’s ideas collaboratively, so that everyone can see from the prompt history how it arrived at the current state, with the option of undoing any instruction.
Now let’s see what happens when you bring Copilot to all your business processes.
<<click>>
Through Copilot, Power Automate is now an essential part of work for EVERYONE – just like Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook.
You can see how Copilot is a game changer for business process.
Put the power in the hands of every line of business... Sales, Marketing, Finance, Customer Service, and more.
Copilot makes you better at what you’re good at and lets you quickly master what you’ve yet to learn.
We’re giving people more agency and making technology more accessible through the most universal interface — natural language.
As with any new pattern of work, there’s a learning curve—but those who embrace this new way of working will quickly gain an edge.
Now, I want to show you an entirely new standalone experience.
Business Chat works across ALL your emails, files, meetings, chats, documents, calendar, and more to turn ALL your data into knowledge.
It’s your knowledge navigator.
Let’s check it out.
<<click>>
Recap with customers post video:
It’s powerful. Business Chat brings together information from multiple sources to keep everyone on the team on the same page and moving forward together.
You spend less time focused on the tools, and more time focused on the most important work.
Now Copilot can also help you while you work on your business strategy all through with natural language.

Recap with customers post video:
Imagine all you can do, pull data, generate a SWOT analysis, create and add a slides.
Of course, you will always have a preview you can refine in PowerPoint.
