As Microsoft shared in a recent blog post, the company plans to bring ChatGPT, OpenAI’s AI, more into their conferences and meetings in the future.
With Teams Premium, they want to extend the tool’s familiar collaboration even further and have integrated the GPT-3.5 language model for this purpose to make their meetings and conferences smarter, more personalized and more secure.
Microsoft’s particular focus has been on conference management and minimizing “administrative work” during meetings. For example, taking notes, minutes or filtering out the most important insights are particularly intensive time wasters that artificial intelligence aims to automate.
During meetings, there is a lot of time-consuming administrative work, such as taking notes, filtering out key insights, and capturing the right action items and responsible parties.
Easy documentation of the meeting
A particularly important feature in the new Teams Premium is intelligent documentation. The ChatGPT-enriched meeting recording of the spoken word automatically generated chapters from the meeting, dividing it into sections that can make it easier to pick out the most important aspects.
But what if you can’t inhabit a meeting in its entirety and thus may miss important aspects? The AI-enriched team has a solution for that, too.
Personalized timeline markers, which only the user can see, make it clear exactly when you entered or left a meeting, so you can quickly find out what you missed. Even the mention of one’s own name can be highlighted through this personalized documentation.
The next functionality being worked on is to see exactly when who spoke so you can jump directly to that spot.
Intelligent notes
The so-called intelligent recap helps team users to fully concentrate on the meeting without being distracted by keeping notes. The most important points, at least those that the AI considers most important, are automatically created and provided by GPT-3.5.
However, if the selected points are not to one’s liking, one can change the focus with a few clicks and thus obtain a new summary of the meeting.
Translation on a new level
That there are already first translation add-ons in videoconferences is nothing new, but mostly the results are rather mixed and further challenge the participants with a language barrier.
Teams Premium AI is also expected to help here, generating perfect subtitles in real time. Currently, forty spoken languages are to be supported to make it easier for participants from all countries to communicate and collaborate.
The future of teams looks different from what we’ve seen so far, but with these tools set to be gradually launched in 2023, the possibilities for conferences and meetings could change dramatically.
