Businesses can rejoice as Microsoft has integrated some of the best Copilot features into its office software platform.

In a new blog post, the company confirmed that Microsoft 365 commercial customers will now benefit from access to the GPT-4 turbo Copilot model for web and data, alongside unlimited conversations and file sizes for uploads.

Microsoft 365 customers can also expect peak use access and additional image generation capabilities later this month as Microsoft continues to integrate AI tools into the platform.

Microsoft 365 Copilot

While there is a small wait for the peak-use and image generation features, Microsoft 365 customers can now make use of the GPT-4 Turbo and unlimited conversations capabilities right now.

The enhanced capabilities for Copilot GPT-4 turbo mean that businesses have access to the most powerful AI models and capabilities to date, with commercial data protection as standard meaning that any interactions you have with Copilot will remain within your business, and won’t be used by Microsoft or anyone else.

Copilot will also synchronize data from emails, calendar, documents, meetings and contact to provide contextualized responses from the AI chatbot, cutting down on those tedious manual tasks and improving productivity and efficiency - and your data remains within the Microsoft 365 ecosystem.

As for the upcoming features expected to be available later in April 2024, image generation capabilities will be expanded to allow 100 image generations per day - up from 15.

Microsoft recently rolled out a number of upgrades for Microsoft Teams Copilot, boasting that the AI assistant is already saving users 10 hours per month on average.

Custom prompts suggested by Copilot were made available to enhance communication and collaboration on the platform, alongside meeting and call summaries to keep you up to date with personal action points and business decisions.
