Microsoft has taken a bold step into the AI future—again—by rolling out a newly designed Microsoft 365 Copilot app that promises, as ever, to revolutionize how businesses interact with their Office documents and sprinkle a bit of AI fairy dust on their day-to-day grind. With a fresh coat of...

Microsoft, in its legendary quest to “reinvent” the wheel, has unveiled the Copilot Search as part of its 2025 annual Work Trend Index. Move over, Clippy; the future of search is here, and apparently, it’s context-aware, organizationally omniscient, and, don't blink, it actually tries to deliver...

Barely a few years ago, artificial intelligence was the stuff of science fiction and Silicon Valley hype men. Fast-forward to today and AI is already busy scheduling your meetings, writing the first draft of your marketing copy, and possibly making smarter investment decisions than you do after...

Business leaders have a new kind of colleague, and it won’t show up to the all-hands in a wrinkled shirt or ask for a corner office: the AI chatbot. Once relegated to the land of “I’m sorry, I didn’t understand your question,” today’s crop is smarter, chattier, and (sometimes) just as perplexing...

For anyone still picturing artificial intelligence as a shadowy wizard conjuring up questionable chatbot responses in the corner of the internet, 2025 is here to give you a gentle cybernetic smack upside the head. Microsoft, that perennial behemoth you probably give at least a fragment of your...

Imagine a world where after that tense Monday morning meeting, you never have to stare at a blinking cursor and wonder, “What exactly did we just agree on?” again. Where you don’t have to juggle sticky notes and the vague remnants of your auditory memory, or, worse yet, try deciphering your own...

Imagine a world where your word processor isn’t just a blank canvas and a blinking cursor, but a veritable literary sidekick—ready to brainstorm, punch up, or pare down your latest magnum opus. This is no longer the stuff of sci-fi fever dreams or caffeinated tech conference slides; it’s the...

You open Microsoft Teams for what feels like the millionth time this week, only to discover—wait, is that missing? Yes, it is. Your beloved “Open file” button, the unsung hero of many desperate last-minute presentations and spreadsheet salvations, has vanished from classic Teams. Cue the digital...

When artificial intelligence swept into the workplace, it didn’t knock politely. It arrived like the world’s most diligent intern—fast, sometimes overwhelming, and dangerously good at menial tasks. For anyone sandwiched in the precarious middle of the management hierarchy, this means your inbox...

It’s not every day that you get to witness a seismic shift in how machines interact with the digital world, but that’s exactly what Microsoft has orchestrated with their game-changing “Computer Use” feature in Copilot Studio. If your visions of robotic process automation (RPA) are still stuck in...

Imagine an office where the most monotonous parts of your day vanish, not into the hands of yet another stressed-out colleague, but into the electric embrace of artificial intelligence. That’s no longer the punchline of a futuristic sitcom or a RoboCop spinoff. It’s now simply, and elegantly...

In a city that already seems to run on the unyielding rhythm of tomorrow, Dubai has again signaled to the world that the future is now—and possibly automated, hyper-efficient, and, quite likely, much happier. In a bold collaboration, Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) and Microsoft...

When was the last time you watched a computer do your work while you sipped coffee, feet up, doubts vanishing as GUI menus flickered, websites auto-populated, and financial invoices simply…flowed? If your answer involves Rube Goldberg-esque VBA scripts from 2009, prepare to recalibrate...

The future of knowledge work is being quietly, and sometimes not so quietly, rewritten by silicon wordsmiths and digital brainstormers: artificial intelligence has left the realm of science fiction, and is now squatting in meeting rooms, quietly nudging us to stay on topic, challenging our...

Blink and you might miss it: the line between human and machine just blurred a little further. Thanks to a fresh upgrade in Microsoft Copilot Studio, artificial intelligence can now do more than just “understand” your software—it can actually use it, mimicking the way you, your office buddy, or...
