Microsoft is holding a particular Copilot occasion later this month that shall be centered on “the subsequent part of Copilot innovation.” Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and vp of AI at work Jared Spataro will host the “wave 2” Copilot occasion on September sixteenth.
The occasion shall be hosted on LinkedIn and deal with the enterprise aspect of Microsoft’s Copilot choices. I revealed in my Notepad e-newsletter final month that Microsoft is about to rebrand Copilot in probably the most Microsoft means attainable. Which means that as an alternative of “Copilot in Phrase” it can grow to be “Microsoft 365 Copilot in Phrase,” alongside a rebranding of “Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365” to “Microsoft 365 Copilot.”
Microsoft’s occasion gained’t be all concerning the rebranding although, I’m anticipating to see a bunch of recent Copilot options for Microsoft 365 that may try to tempt extra companies to enroll to the $30 per consumer per 30 days pricing. Microsoft unlocked its Copilot AI options inside Workplace apps and extra earlier this yr, however there’s nonetheless a debate amongst companies over whether or not it’s well worth the steep month-to-month value.
We might even see extra options introduced for Copilot Professional, Microsoft’s shopper subscription for its AI choices. The $20 month-to-month subscription offers Copilot options in Phrase, very like the business-focused subscription, however it hasn’t seen many new options added because it launched earlier this yr. Microsoft even eliminated a GPT Builder characteristic from Copilot Professional in June.
Microsoft’s Copilot occasion will happen on Monday September sixteenth at 8AM PT / 11AM ET, and The Verge shall be overlaying it stay with all of the very newest information on the AI assistant.
