The last barrier to enterprise adoption of AI was memory. Baking into every prompt what the algorithm needed to know, was enough to send business leaders scurrying for the Luddite hills. But now Google (with Gemini and DeepMind's Mustafa Suleyman) and Microsoft are promising AI with memory. This will change so much about how we use AI - and make things so much more effective, and efficient. Let's get stuck in!

Let's take a look at how the latest version of Copilot can change the game for your business.
Imagine a manufacturing company developing a new electric vehicle (EV) charging station. This complex process involves multiple steps and teams, using various applications and datasets.
Market research: Copilot can analyse large datasets and generate visualisations to quickly identify key insights by analysing market trends using Excel with Python to forecast demand, pricing, and competitor analysis.
Design and engineering: Copilot can summarise key design discussions from Teams meetings and highlight potential issues, saving engineers time, and facilitating quicker decision-making, by tracking changes and feedback, and summarising discussions, while engineers collaborate on designs using OneDrive and SharePoint.
Sourcing: Copilot compares supplier bids and contracts using OneDrive, ensuring compliance with internal policies. AI surfaces discrepancies and highlights areas needing attention, streamlining negotiation and contract finalisation.
Prototyping and testing: Share test results and feedback across teams using SharePoint and Teams. Copilot can automatically generate reports summarising test data from various sources and identify key performance indicators, helping engineers iterate designs efficiently.
Marketing and sales: Create compelling marketing materials and sales presentations using PowerPoint and Copilot. Copilot can generate presentation drafts based on product specifications, market research, and competitor analysis, ensuring marketing messages are impactful and consistent.
Another major development is Copilot Agents - completing seemingly disconnected tasks forming a single activity.
In the EV charging station development process, a critical step involves collecting and analysing customer feedback during the pilot testing phase.
Traditionally, this process is manual and time-consuming:
Technicians gather feedback from pilot customers through surveys, emails, or phone calls.
This data is collated and manually entered into spreadsheets or databases.
Data analysts then process this information to identify trends, issues, and areas for improvement.
These insights are then shared with engineering, design, and marketing teams.
Copilot Agents can radically transform this process by automating these tasks and unlocking unimaginable possibilities:
Automated feedback collection: A Copilot Agent could be deployed to automatically gather feedback from pilot customers through various channels like in-app surveys, SMS messages, or even voice assistants. This agent could be trained to understand natural language and extract key insights from customer responses.
Real-time data analysis: As the agent collects feedback, it can use Excel with Python to perform real-time data analysis, identifying recurring issues, sentiment trends, and feature requests. This eliminates the need for manual data entry and processing, providing instant insights.
Proactive issue resolution: The agent could be programmed to automatically generate support tickets for reported issues, routing them to the appropriate teams for resolution. It could even suggest solutions based on previous support interactions or knowledge articles, significantly speeding up the resolution process.
Personalised communication: The agent can also be used to communicate with customers proactively, acknowledging their feedback, providing updates on issue resolution, and even offering personalised tips or recommendations based on their usage patterns.
By automating tasks, connecting data, and surfacing insights, Copilot reduces time to market and enhances the final product.

Forget everything you thought you knew about AI assistants. We're not talking simple chatbots that can barely string a sentence together. Claude 3.5 Sonnet, the latest iteration of Anthropic's groundbreaking language model, can actually use computers like a human. It can see the screen, move the mouse, click, type, and even navigate complex software. Think about that for a second. An AI that can control your computer. That can access the vast world of information online, manipulate data, and even write and execute code. It's a power we've only dreamed of, and it's here now.

Business is a spider's web of complex processes. And up until now, it's been super hard to get AI working on multi-task processes, without some PhD-level hacking which, unless you're using open source, locally-hosted LLMs, could come unstuck at any time.
Agora solves this. It suggests a rational approach to agentic AI by connecting the bots through a single communication protocol.
In turn, business tasks previously doable only by humans suddenly become perfectly feasible for our silicon siblings.
Super excited about this one. Please enjoy!

Imagine a world where a doctor, armed with an AI-powered assistant, can diagnose diseases like pancreatic cancer earlier, potentially saving thousands of lives annually.
This isn't science fiction; it's the reality Microsoft is building through its AI for Health program.
This program, like a master conductor, is orchestrating an AI symphony with tools like cutting-edge imaging analytics, allowing AI to identify tumours often missed by the human eye.
It's not just about improving diagnoses, it's about improving access to healthcare too. Imagine a virtual health village, accessible 24/7, where AI-powered chatbots like 'Quitbot' can help people quit smoking or guide them through symptom triaging.
This vision is becoming a reality with Azure Health Bot, which can be easily customised to support a wide range of healthcare scenarios.
The power of these breakthroughs lies in the integration of diverse data types - medical imaging, genomic data, clinical records - all analysed by AI models in Azure AI Studio.
It's like having a super-powered detective, capable of analysing millions of clues at once, uncovering hidden patterns and insights that could revolutionise healthcare. This could lead to more personalised treatment plans, faster drug discovery, and a deeper understanding of complex health issues.
Microsoft is building a future where healthcare is more accessible, efficient, and effective - a future where AI empowers both patients and medical professionals to achieve better health outcomes.

Imagine your marketing team brainstorming hundreds of genuinely inspired ideas in seconds.
That's the potential of Thought Preference Optimisation (TPO), a new AI technology from Meta.
TPO is like giving your AI a brain. Unlike standard AI, which rushes to spit out the first answer, TPO takes time to 'think' things through. It generates internal thoughts, invisible to you, and uses them to refine its responses before presenting the best one.
This is a big development for marketing. In trials, TPO outperformed standard AI on key marketing and creative writing benchmarks.
Think of it as your AI team going through rounds of internal brainstorming and presenting you with only the most polished, effective ideas.
Here's a quick example:
Prompt: Write a tagline for a new brand of sustainable sneakers made from recycled ocean plastic.
Standard LLM Output:
Walk with the ocean.
TPO Output:
1. Internal Thoughts:
The tagline should be concise and impactful.
It should highlight the sustainability aspect.
It should appeal to the target audience who care about the environment and style.
Possible themes: ocean conservation, recycled materials, stylish and eco-conscious.
2. Tagline: Style that tides the world.
The standard LLM output is quick and direct, but lacks depth and creativity. It fails to convey the unique selling proposition.
The TPO output demonstrates a more deliberate and thoughtful process. The internal thoughts reveal how the AI considers different factors and explores potential themes before arriving at a tagline that is more creative, memorable, and relevant to the brand's mission.
When can you get your hands on this? While still under development, TPO builds on the latest AI research from Meta and OpenAI.
