Seven ways AI can make your life easier

Today, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is more than a work tool and can be used to get quick answers or inspire new ideas. This task has become even easier with Microsoft Copilot, which allows you to summarize information available on the Internet, and generate text and images based on prompts, making it simpler to research, plan, and create - even when you're focused on other tasks.

Discover the seven ways AI can help you in your day:

 
  •  Learn more about what you see in real-time
Imagine you're on a trip and want to know more about a monument or landscape you're seeing at that moment. With Copilot on your phone, you can save time and effort by taking a photo and asking questions like "What is the history of this monument?" or "What kind of landscape is this?". Copilot responds quickly and provides links to the sources where you got the information, in case you want to do more research. Since the application is based on conversation, it's easy to ask follow-up questions that match what you want, without having to start a new search.
 
  • Get inspired to cook while you shop
Are you in the supermarket and find a new ingredient, but don't know how to use it and don't have time to browse blogs and cooking videos for inspiration? With Copilot's kitchen assistant, you can get recipes and plan menus by uploading a photo of the ingredients in your trolley or on the shelf. Simply type in your food preferences and skill level and Copilot creates a personalized meal. It can also provide nutritional information, ideas for substituting ingredients, or even help at home, where you can get a recipe based on a photo of what's in your fridge.
 
  • Turn your smartphone into a travel agente
Copilot makes it quick and easy to create itinerary ideas for your trips: all you have to do is type in your criteria and it will create a personalized plan for you. In addition, you can ask for accommodation tips, instructions on how to book tickets and even ask for directions to where you want to go when you're on the road.
 
  • Take the stress out of shopping
Copilot can help you research product specifications, compare prices, and overcome the stress of information overload. So you can ask it to create a price comparison table or analyze a photo of an item and ask for a list of prices and places to buy the product. Copilot can answer specific questions about a product and provide summaries of what other people are saying about it on the Internet.
 
  • Get your jobs done faster
Copilot on your smartphone is a handy pocket guide, whether you're at the hardware store or too busy at home to sit down with a laptop. You can get clear, step-by-step instructions for common tasks. You can even use photos for troubleshooting, like finding out what's wrong with your wilting houseplant. Simply upload a photo and Copilot will make trained predictions to identify your plant, what might be affecting it, and how to save it.
 
  • Rock on social media
Copilot can stimulate your creativity by writing captions for photos or summarizing articles to share on social media. You can ask Copilot for an inspiring phrase for a photo of your cat, an ironic hashtag about the weather, or a one-sentence summary of an article you've just read.
 
  • Get help writing a complicated text or email message
It's not always easy to write in the best way and Copilot is an excellent tool to help you perfect the way you write. You can tell it what you want to say and it will start a draft for you. Or you can include what you've already written and ask Copilot to check the grammar and spelling or to give it a more informal, professional, funny, or any other tone you want.

AI won't replace your job, but it can take some boring tasks off your to-do list, so you have more time and energy to enjoy the things that matter.
