new Copilot-powered agentic features available in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint<\/a>, and they\u2019re enabled by default for Microsoft 365 Copilot and Microsoft 365 consumer subscriptions. The new agentic AI features allow Copilot to perform multi-step actions on its own, with Office users still being in control of the AI models to use and the changes to apply to their documents.<\/p>\n\u201cOver the past year, models have made meaningful leaps in instruction following, reasoning, and overall quality, and are\u00a0now\u00a0better at handling multi-step edits\u00a0reliably\u00a0without losing your intent.\u00a0All of these advances have enabled Copilot to fully engage\u00a0with\u00a0each application as a true collaborator: understanding\u00a0the richness of a pivot table in Excel, the\u00a0use\u00a0of animations in PowerPoint, or the precision of citations in Word,\u201d explained Sumit Chauhan, President, Office Product Group, Microsoft.<\/p>\n
Microsoft says that it has been testing these new agentic evolutions with select customers, and early feedback showed \u201cincreased engagement, retention, and satisfaction.\u201d The company saw an over 50% increase in tries per user per week on Word and Excel, with a +30% increase in user retention across Excel and PowerPoint.<\/p>\n
Microsoft\u2019s Copilot AI still appears as a sidebar in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, but it can do much more for users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot and Microsoft 365 Premium license. That includes editing and formatting content in Word and PowerPoint, creating financial models and analyzing data in Excel, and performing multi-step tasks across the three apps while understanding users\u2019 personal context and work patterns.<\/p>\n
Microsoft said that it\u2019s already working to improve how Copilot works across its Office apps by making it easier to preview changes and make the assistant more proactive. The company is also focused on making Copilot more reliable for complex workflows, though the ability to pick up the best model for a specific task already gives users some flexibility.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Microsoft is making new Copilot-powered agentic features available in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, and they\u2019re enabled by default…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":14282,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[179,7493,10946,419,8172,10947,10944,10945],"class_list":["post-14281","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-agentic-ai","tag-agentic-ai","tag-agentic-artificial-intelligence","tag-excel","tag-microsoft-365","tag-microsoft-365-copilot","tag-microsoft-365-premium","tag-powerpoint","tag-word"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14281","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14281"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14281\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14282"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14281"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14281"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14281"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
