Microsoft Excel has introduced the new COPILOT function, integrating AI capabilities directly into spreadsheets to enhance data analysis, content generation, and workflow efficiency. Users can input natural language prompts to receive AI-powered results that automatically update with changes in data, making tasks like summarizing feedback and categorizing information faster and easier. The function supports a variety of Excel formulas and is currently available for Beta Channel users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license.

Microsoft has introduced a new "agent mode" in Word and Excel, aimed at enhancing user experience and productivity through AI-assisted features. This mode allows users to interact with the software in a more intuitive way, facilitating tasks such as document creation and data analysis. The integration of artificial intelligence is expected to streamline workflows and improve collaboration among users.
