Stop spinning your wheels trying to understand those complex Excel formulas.
Seriously. Let AI do it for you. 🤖

Microsoft Copilot now gives instant, plain English explanations right inside your spreadsheet. It’s a massive time-saver for anyone working with complex data... Or even just someone new to Excel altogether.

Could this be the best Excel update in years?

Search Engine Roundtable: Microsoft Copilot Links Local Reviews To Bing Competitor Google Maps. “It looks like Microsoft Copilot, formerly Bing Chat, is using Google Maps reviews for its local AI results. It also links directly to the Google Maps business profile listing when you click on the review stars and ratings from Copilot.”

The Verge: Microsoft’s new Copilot 3D feature is great for Ikea, bad for my dog. “While Microsoft was busy updating Copilot yesterday with OpenAI’s new GPT-5 model, it also quietly launched Copilot 3D. It’s a free-to-use feature that can transform a regular 2D image into a 3D model that can then be used in game creation, animation, 3D printing, VR / AR, and much more.”

End Of 10 Campaign

#Microsoft :microsoft: bundles #genAI tools with #Windows11 - whether the user wants it or not.

This includes #MicrosoftCopilot and the controversial Recall tool.

Why controversial?

#WindowsRecall records all activity on your computer, including messages sent to you. This is why the chat app #Signal has to work around Recall -- to protect your and your contacts' privacy from the #Windows OS!

Signal MessengerBy Default, Signal Doesn't RecallSignal Desktop now includes support for a new “Screen security” setting that is designed to help prevent your own computer from capturing screenshots of your Signal chats on Windows. This setting is automatically enabled by default in Signal Desktop on Windows 11. If you’re wondering why we’re on...

“But the very act of asking AI for help is a privacy nightmare. The AI I use knows all my software preferences. What’s the right answer here?”

IMO, the answer depends on the #AI you use. I, for example, use #MistralAI (I know it's not the best for #Privacy, but that's it). I can't #selfHost it, but I don't introduce #sensitive info at least. Also, I use #AndiSearch's AI and #BraveSearch's. Sometimes, very rarely, when nothing else works, I use #MicrosoftCopilot (for as little as possible).

The Register: Microsoft Copilot joins ChatGPT at the feet of the mighty Atari 2600 Video Chess. “By now, anybody with experience of today’s generative AI systems will know what happened. Copilot’s hubris was misplaced. Its moves were… interesting, and it managed to lose two pawns, a knight, and a bishop while the mighty Atari 2600 Video Chess was only down a single pawn.”
