Microsoft, which has partnered with and invested in OpenAI, the parent company of ChatGPT, is reportedly considering adding ChatGPT technology to its popular office suite, including Word, PowerPoint, and Outlook.
According to the report from The Verge, Microsoft is preparing to detail its productivity plans for integrating OpenAI’s language AI technology and its Prometheus Model in the coming weeks.
Microsoft is tentatively planning an announcement in March, highlighting how quickly the company wants to reinvent search and its productivity apps through its OpenAI investments. It is moving quickly with the integration of ChatGPT into its software and services because of competition from Google, which recently unveiled its own conversational AI technology named Bard. Microsoft had planned to launch its new Bing AI in late February but moved the date up to this week as Google was preparing to make its own announcements.
With the addition of this new technology, the move aims to improve efficiency and productivity by allowing users to perform more quickly and accurately. It will also assist users with language processing, the main feature of OpenAI’s technology.
In Microsoft Word, users could write more accurately and with fewer errors by suggesting alternative words and phrases. It could also summarize long documents and highlight key points for easily analyzing information. For Outlook, the Redmond-based technology giant could use ChatGPT to write replies to emails or summarize email threads.
As per the report, engineers and researchers at Microsoft have been working on tailoring AI tools for writing emails and documents for more than a year by using OpenAI’s machine learning models on customer data. They are now trying to figure out a way to train models using customer data without it being exposed to other customers, along with reducing errors.
Microsoft announced a new generative AI experience in Microsoft Viva Sales a week ago, which uses the Azure OpenAI Service and GPT to create sales emails, and it’s similar to some of the features Microsoft has been testing in Outlook.
