What are your thoughts on MS CoPilot as a one-stop Gen AI solution?
Sort by:
A bot is a bot. It does not transform the way you do things, it helps you to do what you want, bringing some extra capacity. What may transpire from that extra capacity though, is a transformational approach to how you achieve your goals - and in that sense, even just an eloquently speaking evolution of googling collaterals, is helpful.
CoPilot is a good "one stop" interim solution to introduce an organization to GenAI (and discourage use of ChatGpt / sharing company info on public platforms), but there are many areas it doesn't address as a long-term single solution
Right now, MS CoPilot is definitely NOT a one-stop Gen AI solution. And it’s unlikely to ever be as few organizations adopt only one provider of technology tools. Functional departments have different needs which makes having a single provider very unlikely. Microsoft’s approach to licensing is also likely to prevent it being adopted widespread - it gets expensive quickly. Additionally, Microsoft product groups have different priorities. Matching Excel or Word’s level of integration of Gen AI features won't be as critical for each product group's roadmap.
Currently, the industry opinions assert that CoPilot can serve as one-stop shop Gen AI solution provider to around 50-60% of the given task/project work volume. Your team has to pick up the rest, based on conventional enterprise-grade solution-providing, strategies, planning, technologies and resources.
Absolutely not. MS CoPilot is merely a "one of..." bots, and at the moment is by far the least impressive.
Further on the "one-stop solution" - this is a narrowing approach, reducing efficiency when dealing with a rapidly evolving technology. Explorative approach allowing for comparative implementations would allow to use it better.
