Microsoft is launching Microsoft 365 Copilot, its proprietary generative artificial intelligence (AI) virtual assistant, for its employees within the premises of its own operational usage.
Reuters, citing a Business Insider report, said the company, before finalising its plans and deploying the AI tool, conducting pilot tests to augment the utilisation of AI tools by the developer segment working inside.
Moreover, the Redmond-based tech giant, with the help of a wider release, is planning to expand the adoption of Microsoft 365 by its workers for the first time in its entire history, Reuters quoted an inside source familiar with the matter.

What has transformed Microsoft from an ordinary tech firm to the world's most valuable tech giant is its substantial capitalisation in the sphere and the partnership with OpenAI, the developer behind ChatGPT. Meanwhile, the credit is also attributed to the rapidly growing cloud business backed by the increasing interest of customers to develop AI systems.
The Copilot is Microsoft's own generative artificial intelligence (AI) assistant built on the back of OpenAI's large language models (LLMs). The Microsoft 365 Copilot product is an addition of a tool in company's productivity lineup that comprises Word, Outlook and Teams.
Copilot, an AI assistant capable of summarising entire email inbox or generate its slide show, was initially endorsed and sold by the company in November, for $30 per month.
