  4. draw graphs
  5. Create new columns
  6. Bidirectional interaction
  7. "A command line English interface"
  1. I guess MS gave up on VBA
  2. Now Python is the code that is manipulating the office 365 docs!!
  3. at least Excel anywy!
  1. This is where the CustomGPTs suck!!!
  2. Lets see what MS does!
  3. Use the orgs templates
  4. draft outlines in text first
  5. Ability to work page by page side by side
  6. that is what I wanted, hey ChatGPT!! Oh! I forgot the tech moguls never liked ppt, did I hear that right?
  1. Seems lame
  2. But the context is there, so I suppose it is up to the user to make the most
  1. Of course you can ask it for a summary
  2. Or compare a few docs
  3. That's it!!!, come on, there is more you can do MS?
  1. Take a set of documents, and a prompt and create a first draft
  2. Udpate/Add sections with prompts, a bit like "github copillot" inline
  3. I haven't see the "pages" interact with word
  4. Perhaps possible
  1. Lame!
  2. Email is outdated!
  3. Threaded conversations, teams, discourse, etc. the path forward
  4. fixing email is not the answer
  1. Somehow related to automation
  2. or is it APIs to the corp data?
  3. Looks like a formalization of agentic inside the chat
  4. These are CustomGPTs inside MS Copilot, same architecture
  1. yes you are! :)
  2. Single document
  3. Document collections
  4. Make them custom chats
  5. Add them to Teams etc
  6. These agents are participants in Teams (Like the Meta in whatsapp)
  7. Copilot studio to update the agent defintions
  1. An extra page, next to an AI Chat
  2. Copy certain segments of the chat to the extra page
  3. Use the page as a storage area to transport important info
  4. Publish that page for others to see or add, remove, delete etc.
  5. Use the page info later in PPTs, or word, or any other
  6. An info-sieve, so to say, to cull.

Same question in the tech community for copilot

A web page describing the monthly updates, latest and historically, in one place

  1. Updates by month
  2. including latest
  3. you may discover something here that is not run of the mill
  1. Not able to see the wave2 features in copilot pro (as of 9/19/24), at least I know pages don't show up
  2. I am yet to test the office integration
  3. My gut feeling is all those are still being rolled out
  4. The roll out, I have been hinted, may take days, and likely weeks
  5. I have tried to see if setting up a tenant and entra id through a very complicated process (azure, microsoft mobile authenticator, domains etc)
  6. It did not work, perhaps the roll out has something to do here as well
  1. Wait for the roll out and see if they show up
  2. Test the office 365 integration (word, excel, and ppt)
  3. Wait to see if pages, and agents are going to be enabled for consumer market!! (hope so.)
  1. MS Copilot Wave2 will significantly enable business, once the roll out hiccups and general availability is broadly available.
  2. Key reasons I believe are:
  3. Integrated web search
  4. Integrated content search from org's files, sharepoint, one drive, databases etc.
  5. Far more important is the "inline" interaction with PPT, Word, and especially Excel
  6. Extending the idea of Custom GPTs like architecture to organizations to bring together their data and have a conversation with them in Teams
  7. All in all it is a compelling release for organizations.
  8. I am hoping this is equally useful for consumers, but I do not know how many of these capabilities will be for consumers (as of 9/19/2024)
