With the introduction of Microsoft Teams Premium, Microsoft is giving business productivity a significant GPT-powered boost on Teams. This demonstrates how its estimated $10 billion investment in OpenAI can begin adding value right away. The infusion’s goal is to re-energize employees in order to achieve business results.
Microsoft Teams Premium is said to generate meeting notes automatically, recommend tasks and personalized highlights, and provide real-time translations from 40 spoken languages.
For multilingual organizations, “AI-powered real-time translations” for 40 spoken language is at hand, offering Teams Premium customers live captioning in their own language. Presumably English speakers must wait to translate Texan into Geordie or Scots.
Microsoft announced its Teams AI integration in a blog that claimed, “economic uncertainties and changes to work patterns” means “organizations are searching for ways to optimize IT investments and re-energize employees to achieve business results.”
According to the blog post, Teams Premium “brings the latest technologies, including Large Language Models powered by OpenAI’s GPT-3.5, to make meetings more intelligent, personalized, and protected — whether it’s one-on-one, large meetings, virtual appointments, or webinars.”
The new feature is a result of Microsoft’s $10 billion investment in OpenAI through a collaboration project.
