Excitement and Fear

The unsettling sensation in my stomach is undeniable. Leaving me unsure of how to feel.

As a technology lover, I’m thrilled and eager to partner with my new Co-Pilot.

Yet, my darker side experiences a profound sense of unease. All our data is augmented … Linked within context by the omniscient Microsoft Graph.

Summoned by the instruction of a prompt, materializing into beautiful documents, spreadsheets, and E-mails.

Our Creativity Unleashed

The Co-Pilot Product Announcement Kicks off like a pro:

Humans are hard-wired to dream, create, and innovate. Each of us seeks to do work that gives us Purpose — to write a great novel, make a discovery, build strong communities, and care for the sick. The urge to connect to the core of our work lives in all of us. But today, we spend too much time consumed by the drudgery of work on tasks that zap our time, creativity, and energy.
