Introducing Copilot Pages—the first new digital artifact for the AI age

Copilot is the new UI for AI. And it all starts with Business Chat (BizChat), a central hub that brings together all your data—web data, work data, and line of business data—right in the flow of your work. With BizChat, you can integrate dynamic content creation directly into your workflow using Copilot Pages, a dynamic, persistent canvas designed for AI collaboration. Say goodbye to copying and pasting or losing responses; Pages now serves as the base of your work so you can effortlessly create, edit, share, and collaborate. Follow the link below and try your favorite prompt. Once you get the prompt response, select Edit in Pages at the bottom of a BizChat response.

Improvements based on your feedback

Easily co-create with Copilot in PowerPoint Narrative builder to get a better first draft presentation

Start with a branded template or new file and narrative builder will help you create the right story up front, giving an outline of topics you can add to, delete, or move. Once Copilot generates your slides, you have a closer-to-final set of content. And, since Copilot automatically adds speaker notes, animations and transitions as part of the creation process, you’re even closer to being presentation ready.
