Surprising no one, Microsoft's Build 2025 conference is mostly centered
around its Copilot AI. Today, the company announced that it has begun rolling
out its "Wave 2 Spring release," which includes a revamped Microsoft 365
Copilot app. It's also unveiled Copilot Tuning, a "low-code" method of
building AI models that work with your company's specific data and processes.
The goal, it seems, isn't to just make consumers reliant on OpenAI's ChatGPT
model, which powers Copilot. Instead, Microsoft is aiming to empower
businesses to make tools for their own needs. (For a pricey $30 per seat
subscription, on top of your existing MS 365 subscription, of course.)

Microsoft claims that Copilot Tuning, which arrives in June for members of an
early adopter program, could let a law firm make AI agents that "reflect its
unique voice and expertise" by drafting documents and arguments automatically
without any coding. Copilot Studio, the company's existing tool for
developing AI agents, will also exchange be able to "exchange data,
collaborate on tasks, and divide their work based on each agentΓÇÖs
expertise." Conceivably, a company could have its HR and IT agents
collaborating together, rather than being siloed off in their own domains.

With the new Microsoft 365 Copilot app, Microsoft has centered chatting with
its AI to accomplish specific tasks. The layout looks fairly simple, and it
appears that you'll also be able to tap into your existing agents and
collaborative pages as well. As Microsoft announced in April, you'll also be
able to purchase new agents in a built-in store, as well as build up Copilot
Notebooks to collect your digital scraps. Like an AI version of OneNote or
Evernote, Notebooks could potentially help you surface thoughts across a
variety of media, and it can also produce two-person podcasts to summarize
your notes. (It's unclear if they'll actually sound good enough to be useful,
though.)
