Microsoft integrates Word, Excel deeper into Copilot

San Francisco: Microsoft on Friday unveiled a new vision for how it will integrate Word, Excel and Powerpoint into its AI-powered assistant Copilot, in an effort to make AI the entry point for its famous suite of productivity software.

In the coming weeks, individual Microsoft 365 subscribers and businesses enrolled in its testing program will be able to create, edit and share files in Copilot without switching from one application to another.

“Many people have put simplified document viewers into their products over the course of the last year. But this is full-blown Office,” Jacob Andreou, an executive vice president in charge of Copilot, told AFP.
