🪰 Buzz Around AI

Microsoft Ignite 2024 is focused on shaping the future of Windows in the workplace.

Microsoft shared exciting updates at its Ignite Conference. They are introducing new AI tools for Microsoft 365.

These include specialized agents, automated Copilot Actions, developer tools, and translation features.

• New AI agents: 

  These include a Self-Service agent for HR/IT tasks, a SharePoint agent for document searches, a meeting note-taker, and more.

• Developer tools: 

  Copilot Studio lets developers build custom AI agents that work autonomously in the background.

• Automation with Copilot Actions: 

  Users can create templates for tasks like weekly reports or communication summaries.

Why this matters:

With over a billion users, Microsoft is integrating AI directly into daily workflows. These tools could make AI-powered agents as common as apps, helping people

get work done faster and more efficiently.

🧠 Google introduces memory to Gemini

Google’s Gemini AI just got smarter.

It comes with a memory feature for premium users, letting it remember details like your coffee order or favourite meals.

This makes interactions feel more personal and saves you from repeating yourself every time.

Key details:

• Gemini can remember things like coding preferences or dietary restrictions across conversations.

• It uses stored context to adapt replies, like suggesting restaurants that fit your food choices.

• Memories are private—they aren’t used for training, shared between users, or accessed by others. Users can manage them in a dashboard or turn them off anytime.

Why this matters:

2025 might be the year AI memory changes everything. While Gemini’s memory works like early ChatGPT recall features, Microsoft’s prototypes with ‘near-infinite memory’ could revolutionize how we use AI. Imagine assistants that never forget anything you share—game-changer!
