It can find everything you need in your files (even files you forgot existed), connect the dots between all your content and context at the speed of light, and even integrate with the apps you use for “Use to run your business,” said Jared Spataro, CVP of Modern Work & Business Applications, about the new Microsoft experience.

Microsoft today also announced Copilot Lab, a new destination where Microsoft 365 Commercial customers with Copilot access can learn how to be more productive with the AI assistant. Because let’s be realistic: There will be a significant learning curve for companies that want to jump on the Microsoft 365 Copilot bandwagon.

This feature will be available in addition to the Copilot experience in Windows, which will be available with the 23H2 update on September 26th.
For Microsoft 365 customers who don’t want to pay for Microsoft 365 Copilot, Microsoft also offers Bing Chat Enterprise for free with Microsoft 365 E3 and E5, Business Standard, and Business Premium subscriptions. Bing Chat Enterprise offers consumers the same experience as the Bing chatbot, with the added protection of business data. Microsoft also guarantees that no queries will be stored or used to train its artificial intelligence models. Microsoft also announced today that Bing Chat Enterprise is now available in the Microsoft Edge mobile app. Bing Chat Enterprise also supports multimodal visual search and image creator.
