In Excel, Copilot can analyze data and answer questions such as which products were profitable in a quarter. In PowerPoint, for example, Copilot can create a presentation from a press release. In Word, for example, Copilot can write a product announcement and provide users with available documents or presentations as a template directly in the chat interface as context.

The reason I’m excited about this application is that it realizes a vision that’s been around for a while. Anyone who’s comfortable working in Microsoft Office or on the web in general can use these tools. The amazing thing is that there’s no code.
