    Can you talk to me about some killer features that you think people are underutilizing right now with AI? Like you implement something and then you save like an hour a day. So for me, it was asking AI to add things to my calendar, provide my emails, search through my emails. That has saved me a lot of time. Yeah, I mean, I think one of the super exciting features is this thing we're calling connectors.

  2. 29:40

    So Copilot connectors. And you can just say to Copilot, hook up my Gmail, hook up my calendar. You can do it in Teams. You can do it with your Dropbox. You can do it from any basically source of data that you have about yourself. and then ask co-pilot any question about it so scheduling booking searching for content and it will actually integrate that knowledge into its answers as well so if you say oh i'm planning to go here at the weekend it'll be like oh but you've already made this appointment here or uh you know so it would that they will seamlessly have that contextual awareness about you it's a really cool feature so even if i ask it ask you to schedule something it's going to tell me like oh you have a conflict yeah oh nice or or it's going to just be like you know you're interested

    i i i you know i was reading from you like you know where you went on vacation last year when you did your travel planning that you really enjoyed you know greece or something like that and so you might want to try you know whatever what is your personal favorite use case i use voice three or four times a day and i use it at the end of the day as well for kind of journaling and talking. I have it set up on my iPhone in the power button. So I'd literally just press the power button, straight away goes into voice mode. And then I kind of talk to co-pilot on the way home and I'm driving home. So you talk about your day or? Yeah. Talk about my day. Like journaling? Yeah. It's totally journaling. And then it will remind me what I've said in previous days and it will help me think through a tricky problem I have. And it kind of maintains state

  4. 31:12

    for me it's like a second memory wow i love this it's like second memory journaling that has all the information and then yeah helps you with your decisions it does that's fascinating do you have a worry it knows too much about us um no i i think that as long as it's useful and it's got a purpose
