AI Copilots Everywhere; GPT's Trillion Dollar Economy

Ah, okay. We’re on two very different pages.

Copilot for Microsoft Office 365 was announced Tuesday. It is in the hands of 20 enterprises and it uses a very advance collection of prompts and integrations with OpenAI that only Microsoft has access to. They are able to make this claim because their definition of an app based on PowerApp is deeply constrained.

If you had experience building apps with PowerApp, you would know that this is entirely possible with Microsoft’s variant of the term “copilot”. There are wizards and other frameworks that will do this much the way a no-code app works. PowerApps have a limited ceiling and scope of complexity making it an ideal tool to end-cap with an AI wizard.

I believe they will be very successful with this approach, and customers will be far more satisfied than you might assume, especially having never seen it work. One of their test enterprises is my client. They have shared that it truly does build the essential elements of a complete solution.

Is there marketing overreach in their claims? Probably; Microsoft is famous for this. But whatever their claims may be, customers will lap this goodness up in spades and their O365 copilot variant will likely save enterprises millions and win awards.
