    I’ve show my coworkers some practical implementations of copilot and that was enough to kickstart the use.

    If you’re composing the same mails a lot, for example, you can ask copilot to make a template text and then when you have to compose the same email again you ask copilot to compose and personalize the mail for you. That’s an awesome function.

    I’ve made an agent that answers HR related questions of my team. This saves me and HR a lot of time and they are assured their questions are handled discrete.

      Uhm, email templates are far older than LLM.

        This template adds or deletes links to relevant webpages and adds recent figures when needed.

        We’ve been using templates for years but this adds personality and customisation

        It sounds like it’s creating the template and also modifying it as needed. That is a step up.

          There’s plugins that replace keywords for Thunderbird and Gnome Evolution (should realy change that name).

          Why? Because using AI for something like this is a waste of computing power. And likely a confidentality breach.

            Yea, but it’s still different to templates. My parents said playing video games was a waste of computing power. The confidentiality breach will be no worse than Gmail or Hotmail. So, not good, but also not new.

            It’s not bad just because it’s AI. AI is much worse than it’s purported to be and hasn’t really progressed in a few years, but it has its uses.

            Summarising and composing emails and other communications see a to be a strength.
