Empowering the Future
Of course, Azure continues to be at the forefront of cloud technology, with several new features and updates announced, such as the Azure AI Foundry, Azure Arc, Azure Local, and much more. Artificial Intelligence was a major focus at Ignite 2024. Microsoft unveiled new AI models that are more powerful and efficient, capable of handling complex tasks with greater accuracy. The integration of AI into various Microsoft products, such as Microsoft 365 and Dynamics 365, is set to revolutionize how businesses operate, offering smarter tools for productivity and decision-making. Also Copilot, Microsoft's AI-powered assistant, received significant updates that enhance its capabilities. With improved natural language processing and deeper integration into Microsoft products, Copilot is now more intuitive and helpful than ever. Extensions allow to build your own Copilots.
