🤖 99.9% of people talk about AI.
0.1% actually understand it.

It's easy to:

• Get lost in buzzwords

• Miss the real potential

• Ignore practical applications

The result?

You miss out on AI's true power.

Here is a quick update from Microsoft Ignites Keynote on AI agents from Satya:

• Focus on practical use

• Implement AI tools

• Measure real impact

3 Key NEW AI developments Satya mentioned:

1. New universal multimodal interface

2. Advanced Reasoning and planning with neural algebra

3. Long-term memory support for models

They are building this on 3 platform pillars:

1. Copilot

2. Copilot devices

3. Copilot stack

Security is a top priority.

He likens AI will revolutionize knowledge work like lean did for manufacturing.

Adoption is key:

- More employees use, more value

- Knowledge sharing

- Measuring ROI

Copilot in action:

- Prioritize inbox in Outlook

- Excel for data analysis

- Advanced reasoning for strategic analysis

Copilot automated actions (or their agent function):

- Facilitates meetings

- Automates PM workflow and task assignments

- Self-service IT and support

SharePoint will have a built-in agent that can describe in natural language and connect to data sources. They can operate autonomously.

They even Introduced 10 new agents in Dynamics:

- Qualify

- Flag

- Send emails

McKinsey decreased onboarding by 90%.

Copilot connectors and agents offer:

- Alerts for cross-sell or upsell opportunities

- SharePoint repository integration

- Use of @mentioning like GPTs

ROI measurement:

- Copilot analytics

- Correlation capabilities of outcomes to agent use.

The future is here with AI.

Just like Agentforce (with Salesforce), I am skeptical until I can actually use the future to make sure it is real, however the ROI analytics feature alone would be game changing for adoption IMO.

🙌This week's podcast episodes...

😮 Microsoft’s new AI agents support 1,800 models (and counting)

Microsoft is revolutionizing enterprise AI with enhanced capabilities in Microsoft 365 Copilot, enabling users to create custom autonomous agents or deploy pre-built ones. These agents, supported by Azure AI's extensive catalog, can act independently, streamline workflows, and integrate seamlessly with Microsoft services. With no-code and low-code tools, enterprises of all sizes can now harness AI for tasks like HR, project management, and legal due diligence, reducing costs and improving efficiency.

🤖OpenAI brings ChatGPT’s Advanced Voice Mode to the web

OpenAI is expanding ChatGPT's Advanced Voice Mode to the web, allowing subscribers to hold real-time voice conversations with the chatbot directly in their browser. Currently available to paying customers (Plus, Enterprise, Teams, and Edu), the feature offers nine voice options and uses GPT-4’s audio capabilities to deliver natural, expressive interactions. Free users will gain access to a monthly preview in the coming weeks.

😮Microsoft will soon let you clone your voice for Teams meetings

Microsoft announced "Interpreter" for Teams, a tool that enables real-time speech-to-speech translation in up to nine languages while simulating the user’s voice for a personal touch. Launching in early 2025 for Microsoft 365 subscribers, the tool prioritizes privacy by not storing biometric data and requiring user consent. While the technology offers cost-effective multilingual communication, it raises security concerns similar to those seen with deepfake misuse, highlighting the need for robust safeguards.

🙌Google launches Gemini app for iOS worldwide

Google has launched the Gemini app for iOS, supporting text and real-time conversations in multiple languages. It offers image generation, integration with Google services, and marks a step toward future integration with Apple Intelligence. Learn More.

✨AnyChat brings together ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and more for ultimate AI flexibility

AnyChat, developed by Ahsen Khaliq, unifies leading large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Meta's LLaMA into a single interface, offering developers unmatched flexibility. Built on Gradio, the platform allows seamless switching between proprietary and open-source models, supports multimodal AI for text and images, and simplifies integration for enterprises. With its open architecture, AnyChat is poised to grow as a community-driven hub for AI experimentation and deployment. Read More.
