Microsoft launches Teams Premium with AI functions derived from ChatGPT

As stated by the Microsoft, following the recent multi-billion dollar investment in the company, the partnership with OpenAI has entered a phase that should have commercial repercussions for its products.
Well, the effects of said collaboration (which has lasted since 2019) can be glimpsed in the new Teams Premium, announced yesterday by Microsoft, in which the significant novelty is undoubtedly the integration with the OpenAI GPT 3.5 language model that brings with it some extremely smarts borrowed from ChatGPT.
In this sense, the most interesting implementation is the “Smart Summary” which at the end of each meeting will automatically generate notes, activities and key points of a meeting allowing you to create personalized models based on the type of meeting as well as recordings with generated chapters automatically and the ability to schedule these meetings to maintain confidentiality and prevent information leakage.
The tool will offer users greater agility thanks to the introduction of functions capable of signaling with special labels the people who intervened during the meeting, the moments in which their name was mentioned or a particularly important topic that was addressed. These innovations will make the recovery of meetings in which it was not possible to participate more immediate, without necessarily having to give up the key concepts addressed in them.
While most of the new features contained in the Teams Premium Smart Summary are already available, Microsoft specifies that some will only be available starting in Q2 2023. In addition to the integration of the OpenAI language model, the giant announced that some features currently available in the free version of Teams will become exclusive to Teams Premium. These include instant subtitle translation and multiple Teams virtual appointment modes.
Teams Premium is available for an initial starting price of $7 per user, per month, until June 30, 2023. From that date, the price rises to $10 per month. As anticipated, this is just one of many commercial spin-offs from the renewed collaboration between Microsoft and OpenAI, which will see the giant increasingly committed to integrating the company’s artificial intelligence models into its products, including the likely implementation from ChatGPT on Bing.
