TekkiTalk with Omar Shahine: Copilot in Word and Beyond
In this TekkiTalk, host Knut Relbe-Moe chats with guest Omar Shahine, a corporate vice president at Microsoft with 25 years of experience. Omar leads the team behind Microsoft Word and Editor. He highlights the significance of Copilot, a set of capabilities utilizing large language models across Microsoft products. Copilot enhances user experiences, drawing on elements from Microsoft 365 and the cloud, including core building blocks like the graph, SharePoint, and OneDrive.
Omar talks about Copilot's evolving capabilities in Word, noting that summarization is the most well-received Copilot feature—a product of Word's common use for reading content. Beyond summarization, Copilot in Word allows users to combine documents with corporate branding, generate slide decks, and improve text writing fluency, catering to diverse user needs.
Omar explains that his team focuses on rapid iteration and user feedback to introduce new features. He encourages users to explore Copilot's capabilities, share feedback via the thumbs-up or thumbs-down feature, and visit the Copilot Microsoft website for more information on the evolving technology.
