Q & A
What is Microsoft Co-Pilot?
-Microsoft Co-Pilot is an AI-powered tool that assists users in various tasks, such as generating storyboard images, writing code, and creating quizzes. It was previously known as Bing Chat and has been featured in a Super Bowl commercial to showcase its capabilities.
How did Microsoft Co-Pilot perform in generating a storyboard for a dragon scene?
-When given the prompt to generate a storyboard for a dragon scene, Co-Pilot produced images that were somewhat similar to what was shown in the Super Bowl commercial. However, the images were not exact storyboards but rather appeared to be cut-off sections of a larger storyboard.
What was the result when Co-Pilot was asked to write code for a 3D open world game?
-In the free version of Co-Pilot, the tool stated it could not write code for a 3D open world game, citing the complexity of the task. It offered to help with basic aspects of game development instead. When the prompt was given in a more precise manner, Co-Pilot provided very basic code, which was not substantial enough to be of significant use.
How did Co-Pilot handle the organic chemistry quiz prompt?
-Co-Pilot provided a question about the IUPAC name for an organic compound and offered four options to choose from. The response was slower in the initial test but improved in speed when the prompt was repeated in the Co-Pilot Pro version.
What are the differences between the free and Pro versions of Microsoft Co-Pilot?
-The Pro version of Co-Pilot offers more control over the outputs, better performance, and the ability to use Co-Pilot within Microsoft 365 applications. It also allows users to switch between different AI models like GPT-4 and GPT Turbo.
How did Co-Pilot perform in the design of a sign for a classic truck repair garage?
-Co-Pilot generated four images of signs for a truck repair garage. The results were not identical to those shown in the commercial but were somewhat similar. The words 'Mics' were spelled correctly in some of the designs, indicating a slight improvement over the initial attempt.
What is the cost of Microsoft Co-Pilot Pro?
-Microsoft Co-Pilot Pro is available for a monthly subscription fee of $20, which provides additional features and better outputs compared to the free version.
What are the integrations of Co-Pilot Pro within the Microsoft 365 suite?
-Co-Pilot Pro can be integrated within Microsoft 365 applications such as Excel, PowerPoint, Word, and Outlook. This allows users to utilize Co-Pilot's AI capabilities directly within these applications to assist with tasks like creating presentations, documents, or spreadsheets.
What were the user's impressions of Co-Pilot Pro's integration with Microsoft Word and Excel?
-The user found the integration with Word to be useful, especially for generating content from scratch. However, they experienced issues with Excel, where Co-Pilot did not function as expected, particularly with downloadable app versions. The web-based version of Excel seemed to work better.
What is the user's overall verdict on Microsoft Co-Pilot?
-The user appreciates Co-Pilot for its potential and the capabilities it offers, especially with the use of GPT models. However, they felt that the current integration with Microsoft 365 applications was not fully optimized and that the Pro version did not offer enough additional value over the free version to justify its cost.
What future plans does the user have regarding Microsoft Co-Pilot?
-The user intends to make more videos about Co-Pilot in the future, as they believe the tool will continue to improve. They acknowledge that it is still in the early stages of development and expect to see rapid enhancements in its capabilities.
