5 most significant announcements from Microsoft Build 2023.

Today marks the beginning of Microsoft Build, a sizable AI-focused event. The business has announced its plans to use AI more extensively across all its products and services, including Windows 11 and Microsoft 365.
If you want to stay current, we've compiled all the most crucial event news below.

Windows 11 is getting an AI Copilot

Windows 11 with AI Copilot

Copilot, a virtual assistant from Microsoft, will be available on Windows 11. Microsoft incorporates this assistant into Edge, its Office programs, and GitHub.

But the Windows Copilot will reside in the taskbar. You can ask Copilot to summarize, rewrite, and explain the text in any of the apps you're using, as well as change the settings on your computer by clicking on it.

This brings up the Copilot sidebar. Next month, Microsoft says it will begin publicly testing the feature before expanding its user base.

 Additionally, Windows 11 will receive a few more minor updates, such as Bluetooth LE support, which enables you to listen to high-quality audio without sacrificing your device's battery life. With native RGB controls in Windows 11, Microsoft also supports 10 new languages and dialects in live captions, a feature that instantly transcribes audio.

Microsoft 365 Copilot now supports plug-ins

Regarding its 365 Copilot, Microsoft had some important news to announce: the inclusion of plug-ins. Three distinct categories of plug-ins, including Teams message extensions, Power Platform connectors, and tools utilizing ChatGPT technology, will now be supported by the AI assistant. Additionally, you'll have access to dozens of third-party plug-ins, including those made by Atlassian and Adobe.

 Microsoft also claims to use the same standard for all Copilot and Bing Chat plug-ins that OpenAI does for ChatGPT. This makes it possible to use the same plug-ins across all three AI-powered tools and makes it simpler for developers to make them.

Microsoft Edge browser will soon integrate with 365 Copilot

Microsoft will make 365 Copilot available on Edge. The tool, located in the browser's sidebar, can work on projects in Microsoft 365 apps like Outlook, Word, Excel, and others by utilizing the information on the website you're currently viewing.

The tool should make it easier for you to create status updates based on chat threads, add data to a spreadsheet, and draft emails. The integration will also support the plug-ins above that will be added to the 365 Copilot.

Windows Terminal gets an AI upgrade

By integrating with GitHub Copilot, Windows Terminal will get an AI-powered chatbot. GitHub Copilot users can now interact with the chatbot directly from the Terminal to perform various tasks, get code recommendations, and describe errors. Additionally, Microsoft claims to be looking into integrating the GitHub Copilot with other developer tools, such as WinDBG.

However, Microsoft also revealed other updates geared toward developers. A new Dev Home dashboard was also introduced, which ought to make it simpler to set up and use Windows development machines. Additionally, Microsoft is introducing a new AI Hub to highlight Windows apps that use AI, as well as AI-generated app review summaries for the Microsoft store.

Bing is now ChatGPT’s default search experience

Given Microsoft's massive investment in the company, it's not shocking that OpenAI chose to make Bing the default search engine in its ChatGPT chatbot. Citations that Bing has found and surfaced will now be added to the chatbot's responses for users of ChatGPT Plus.

Microsoft has already released OpenTable and WolframAlpha plug-ins for Bing, but it is now significantly expanding the pool. Expedia, Instacart, Kayak, Klarna, Redfin, TripAdvisor, Zillow, and other plug-ins will soon be supported by Bing.
