It isn’t generally available. Microsoft plans broader previews in the coming months, with pricing details still to come.

AI inside the workday

The company describes integrations for Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and Teams: drafting documents, exploring spreadsheets, building presentations and summarizing conversations.

A separate Business Chat experience draws on workplace documents, emails and meetings through Microsoft Graph. Preview customers can access it in Teams.

Microsoft says users should review and fact-check generated work.
