1 min read
Summary
Microsoft is upgrading its Copilot AI by adding a function to perform online tasks using chat prompts.
It can make bookings, reservations and purchases on a user’s behalf.
Launch partners include travel and holiday companies and Microsoft says it will work on most websites.
This functionality is also under development by other AI companies such as Amazon, Open AI and Google.
Microsoft’s version is the first to become available to the general public and highlights the potential for AI assistants to take on more practical tasks.
It is being rolled out over the next few weeks and months subject to variables such as platform and geography.
This could give an indication of how practical and reliable these types of AI are.
