Microsoft 365 Online has been launched as a unified online platform, consolidating key Microsoft productivity applications. Previously known as Microsoft Office Online, this new iteration provides free web-based versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook. It also integrates OneDrive for cloud storage and introduces Microsoft's AI assistant, Copilot, across all tools.
Copilot is designed to enhance productivity by acting as an AI collaborator within each application. It can assist with tasks such as drafting emails, summarizing lengthy documents, and generating presentation slides or data tables from simple prompts. The aim is to streamline the user experience, eliminating the need to switch between multiple desktop programs and optimizing work processes.
This new platform emphasizes seamless cloud integration and collaboration. OneDrive plays a crucial role by storing all files in the cloud, enabling automatic saving, and simplifying file sharing. Users can now work together on documents in real-time, making instant edits and comments, thereby modernizing the familiar Microsoft Office experience with advanced AI and cloud capabilities.
