Microsoft is preparing to demo new AI integration with Office apps such as Word, PowerPoint, and Outlook, sources tell The Verge.
The tech giant has tentatively scheduled a reveal of the plans for March.
- According
to The Verge, Microsoft is integrating OpenAI's new Prometheus AI model
and language technology into the productivity apps.
- Prometheus, which also underpins the AI in Microsoft's new Bing search engine, is based on a next-generation OpenAI model more powerful than ChatGPT.
- The plans corroborate a previous report by The Information, which said that Microsoft is working to bring GPT text generation abilities to Word, Outlook, PowerPoint, and more.
- For example, it said AI in Outlook could be used to improve search results and suggest replies to emails.
- In Word, Microsoft is looking into how GPT technology could suggest alternative words and phrases while the user types.
- Microsoft could expand the capabilities to other applications in the Microsoft 365 Office productivity suite.
