News & Reviews:   Microsoft Outlook

Hot on the heels of Google’s generative AI for Workspaces, is Microsoft’s take on it, which they have called Microsoft 365 Copilot. Designed to parse through your OneDrive (where Microsoft expects you to put all your personal images and details too) Copilot can automatically create and summarize emails, presentations, spreadsheets and documents throughout Microsoft’s Office 365 suite, Outlook and more.

If you’ve been having problems with Microsoft Teams, Azure or Outlook today then you’re not the only one, as cloud users across the world lost access. Countries affected included the US, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East and Africa. Microsoft says that it has mostly recovered from a “networking outage” and it should be business as usual though.

Microsoft is reportedly putting more ads in its Outlook mobile app for both iOS and Android, something that free users of the platform have been enduring for the past few months. Previously, the company only put ads in the ‘Other’ tab within the app for free users but now, it’s popping up in the single-inbox mode too.
