Bring external data into your Microsoft 365 Copilot experience to ground generative AI results using connectors and plugins. Use Microsoft Graph connectors to integrate the data sources you want with Semantic Index for Copilot. This option pre-indexes defined read-only information used for retrieval with your prompts to drive the most relevant AI-generated responses. Use managed and trusted plugins, such as OpenAI plugins, Microsoft Teams message extensions, and Power Platform connectors. Instead of pre-indexing information, plugins optimize for real-time API based data retrieval, and they can optionally write-back data. Mary David Pasch, Microsoft 365 Copilot Principal Product Manager, shares how both options follow Microsoft's comprehensive security, compliance, and privacy approach, while respecting defined boundaries within your organization's data services and can work together when responding to a single prompt. ► QUICK LINKS: 00:00 - Bring in external data with Copilot 01:08 - Use a connector and plugin simultaneously 02:45 - See how it works 03:56 - Semantic Index demo 04:55 - Data retrieval with Copilot using connectors 06:19 - Data retrieval with Copilot using plugins 07:23 - Plugins code and how they work 08:45 - Wrap up ► Link References For more information, check out https://aka.ms/CopilotExtensibility ► Unfamiliar with Microsoft Mechanics?

Get information ready for search, put key prerequisites in place, and assign licenses to prepare for the next transformation in how we work with Microsoft 365 Copilot. Copilot leverages large language models that interact with your organization's data using the Microsoft Graph to generate personalized experiences with related context, reducing the steps to find the information you need and generate content. By design, Copilot respects user-specific permissions to any content or information it retrieves, and only generates responses based on information that users explicitly have permission to access. Join Jeremy Chapman, Director of Microsoft 365, as he shares admin steps to get started, by: 1. Getting your organization's information ready for search - with Just Enough Access permissions in place. This is a best practice, whether you plan to deploy Microsoft 365 Copilot or not.  2. Putting Microsoft 365 Copilot prerequisites in place. This includes the having the right Microsoft cloud apps and services running for each user with access to Microsoft 365 Copilot, and 3. Assigning Microsoft 365 Copilot licensing to users and groups to provide them access. And finally, with everything prepared and ready, it's important to have a plan in place to drive user adoption and optimize results by creating a center of excellence - as you would with other app and service - rollout to let people share easily share what's working best for them and find help from internal champions. ► QUICK LINKS: 00:00 - Introduction 01:48 - Step One: Get information ready to search 03:00 - Just Enough Access 03:34 - Tools to find info at risk for oversharing 04:54 - Step Two: Get prerequisites in place 06:00 - Step Three: Assign M365 Copilot licenses 07:20 - Establish a Center of Excellence 07:55 - Wrap up ► Link References: Prerequisites for Microsoft 365 Copilot and supported apps at https://aka.ms/M365CopilotPreReqs Hands-on support with Microsoft FastTrack services at https://fasttrack.microsoft.com ► Unfamiliar with Microsoft Mechanics?

In what may have been the biggest week in marketing AI (to date), we have a lot to review in this week's podcast, so let's jump right in. GPT-4 is released to the public The week started with the much-anticipated release of GPT-4, the latest, most powerful version of OpenAI's large language model. And it's now is being integrated into existing products via API, as well as ChatGPT. According to OpenAI, “GPT-4 can solve difficult problems with greater accuracy, thanks to its broader general knowledge and problem-solving abilities.” OpenAI says that GPT-4 surpasses ChatGPT in its reasoning capabilities. In fact, the new model was tested on the Uniform Bar Exam, where it scored in the 90th percentile compared to ChatGPT's 10th percentile score.  GPT-4 will be able to accept images as input;. OpenAI demoed one jaw-dropping example of the model being able to generate code for a webpage based on a hand-drawn sketch of what the webpage should look like.  Has OpenAI veered too far away from its non-profit roots? Is a company with “open” in the name being as forthcoming as they should be? Paul and Mike discuss. Microsoft and Google embed AI in their core products  Google just announced that developers will now have access to its PaLM API, which gives them the ability to build on top of Google's language models in Google Cloud. The company also announced generative AI features coming to Google Workspace, the firm's productivity suite. That means you'll soon see generative AI features in Gmail and Docs that draft copy on any given topic for you. At the same time, Microsoft announced Microsoft 365 Copilot, an AI tool that is “your copilot for work.” According to the company, Copilot combines the power of large language models with your data in the Microsoft Graph and Microsoft 365 apps to increase productivity. That happens in two ways, says Microsoft. First, Copilot works alongside you in popular apps like PowerPoint, Word, and Outlook to increase productivity. For instance, in Word, it can now generate drafts for you. In PowerPoint, you can use natural language prompts to create presentations. Copilot also enables a new feature called “Business Chat” that surfaces insights from data across your company and makes performing tasks easier. Our team watched the launch demo, and some instant applications came to mind. The U.S. Copyright Office is getting involved…so make sure you're not breaking any laws. Warning: If you're using generative AI tools to create content—articles, blog posts, books, images, software, songs, videos, etc—you do not own that content, according to the U.S. Copyright Office. That means anyone can reproduce it without your permission, create derivative works from it, display it, perform it, and sell it. On Mar 16, 2023, the Copyright Office launched an initiative to examine the copyright law and policy issues raised by AI, including the scope of copyright in works generated using AI tools and the use of copyrighted materials in AI training. “This initiative is in direct response to the recent striking advances in generative AI technologies and their rapidly growing use by individuals and businesses. The Copyright Office has received requests from Congress and members of the public, including creators and AI users, to examine the issues raised for copyright, and it is already receiving applications for registration of works including AI-generated content.” The Office also issued updated registration guidance that has an immediate effect on your ability to protect your original works.  Paul and Mike discuss ways to use AI-powered technologies that are legal, and what tech companies need to address with their tools.  Listen to this week's episode on your favorite podcast player, and be sure to explore the links below for more thoughts and perspectives on these important topics.
