Updating in real time, re-writing the future? That would dramatically simplify and reduce the time needed to create a complex document with charts, pictures, and dynamic data that keeps a document, webpage, or other content up to date. The initial instructions that direct the underlying AI on what to collect - and what the finished product should look like - can be centralized and applied to all of Office. Initially, it can behave the same way across the board and, eventually, call up Office components on demand to create more complex projects. It’s a component that is technically separate, but tightly coupled, to Office’s parts. Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) - the power behind Copilot - represents another overlay. While the components themselves remained separate, these tool overlays created the perception of integration that didn’t require actual integration. Historically, some tools such as cut-and-paste and spell check worked relatively seamlessly across all parts of Office. And that should make it even more productive for regular users. Given that perception is often our reality, Office should feel increasingly integrated, finally correcting a problem that goes back to its birth. You get the individual components necessary to either do a focused project (like a spreadsheet) or a blended document (more like a report) that includes pictures and data that are all updated automatically when new information comes in.Ĭopilot, announced last week, should at some point begin to bridge all aspects of Office, making its various components feel far more tightly integrated than they have been in the past. Integration gives you the ability to have a single interface in a product.
