Microsoft is rolling out significant upgrades to Copilot for Microsoft 365, providing licensed commercial customers with priority access to OpenAI’s GPT-4 Turbo artificial intelligence model. This move eliminates previous restrictions on daily chat limits and conversation lengths, offering users unparalleled flexibility and efficiency. Whether in a web or work context, users can now leverage Copilot’s capabilities without constraints.
In the web context, users will benefit from responses based on the latest publicly available information while enjoying robust commercial data protection measures from Microsoft. This ensures that prompt and response data remain confidential and are not utilized for training underlying models, enhancing privacy and security for users.
Meanwhile, the work context empowers Copilot to deliver contextually accurate responses by analyzing various sources such as calendars, emails, chats, and documents. This enables users to prioritize tasks effectively and access key information swiftly, all while maintaining enterprise-grade data protection within the Microsoft 365 service boundary.
According to Jared Spataro, corporate vice president for AI at work at Microsoft, these updates signify a significant leap forward in customer experience, offering faster and more comprehensive responses across both web and work contexts. Additionally, Microsoft is increasing the daily image generation boosts in Microsoft Designer from 15 to 100, reducing wait times and enhancing image creation efficiency for users.
Spataro emphasizes that these enhancements reflect Microsoft’s commitment to redefining work processes and workflows through AI technology. By embracing AI, organizations have the opportunity to revolutionize their operations and adapt to the evolving demands of the digital era, paving the way for future growth and innovation.
Initially available in Copilot online, these new capabilities will soon extend to the Copilot mobile application, Windows, Edge, and other applications where users can access the work context directly, ensuring a seamless and integrated user experience across platforms.
