March: Microsoft on Monday bundled the technology behind ChatGPT with its Power Platform, which allows users to build applications with little or no coding, the latest integration of artificial intelligence into its products.

A line of business intelligence and app development tools within the Power Platform, including Power Virtual Agent and AI Builder, have been updated with new capabilities, Microsoft said.
Power Virtual Agent, a tool for building chatbots for businesses, can now connect to internal company resources to generate weekly reports and summaries of customer queries.
Microsoft has also added creative AI capabilities to AI Builder, which lets businesses automate workflows, and launched a new version of its business management platform Dynamics 365 based on the technology.
Dynamics 365 Copilot, the latest version of Microsoft’s tool that includes multiple applications for sales, customer service and marketing, among other capabilities to automate specific tasks such as collecting and analyzing data or creating email campaigns Integrates AI.
Microsoft also said Monday that Chief Executive Satya Nadella will host an event on March 16 to discuss “reinventing productivity with AI.”
The company has so far announced AI updates for its popular Windows operating system and search engine Bing, but not yet for its Office productivity suite, which includes Word and Excel.
