Picture an AI-enhanced experience that streamlines your business communication and improves overall productivity.
Science fiction, right? With Microsoft's latest announcement, this future is closer than you think.
Microsoft Teams is launching an 'AI library' that promises to revolutionize our Teams experience.
Its goal?
To empower developers to integrate Large Language Models (LLMs) into their Teams apps (the most famous LLM is ChatGPT).
You might wonder how that will help your business. It could mean you have a sophisticated AI at your beck and call during Teams meetings. Some possible uses include research, fact-checking, competitive analysis, and idea generation.
The AI library, rolling out right now, will provide developers with a suite of core functionalities, making it easier for them to integrate these LLMs into their apps. This means extending Teams (other apps will come), creating Bots, Message Extensions, and Adaptive Cards for more engaging conversational experiences will be more straightforward.
Microsoft assures us that the AI library will also aid the seamless migration of existing Bots, Message Extensions, and Adaptive Cards functionalities into Teams.
Isn't Microsoft the same company that gave us the Copilot tool? Yep! In March 2023, Microsoft introduced GPT-4 integration across Microsoft 365 with its Copilot tool. It can whip up emails, compile reports, and, as Microsoft claimed, "rediscover the soul of work." Who knew AI could be so poetic?
And let's not forget the recently unveiled productivity tool, which uses AI to generate meeting notes, suggest follow-up actions, and even provide timeline markers for instant access to relevant call parts.
Microsoft is on a mission to redefine how we interact with AI. While this isn't just about making our lives easier, it's about unlocking new possibilities for productivity and efficiency. We can't wait to see what the new AI library will bring and how you will use it.
