AI is becoming a part of everyday life and it's changing the way we do business. For business owners, the benefits are clear. It saves time, reduces the need for extra resources, and directly improves the bottom line. As part of Microsoft 365 Copilot*, we recently introduced the Create module, a new feature designed to make producing visual materials fast and simple. You don’t need to be an AI expert or add complex and expensive design software to your tech stack to get the most out of it. Effortless content creation with Microsoft 365 Copilot The Create module helps users produce high-quality visual content quickly and easily—often better than they could on their own. Because it's built into Copilot and fully integrated with the Microsoft environment, there’s no need for separate design tools or additional creative software. That reduces complexity for users and eases the burden on IT teams who would otherwise have to support and manage extra solutions. At the same time, Create puts professional-grade design within reach for everyone. It opens up the creative process to employees at any skill level, making it easier to produce on-brand, polished visuals. This is especially valuable for small and mid-sized businesses where time and design resources are often limited. AI-Powered Content Creation: The Create module leverages AI to generate high-quality content. From documents and presentations to marketing materials like flyers and infographics, a few simple steps can generate stunning content. Customizable Templates: Access a variety of templates tailored to different business needs, so projects don’t have to start from scratch. These templates help maintain brand consistency and ensure professional quality output. Brand Kits: Even non-designers can set up brand kits to keep all content consistent and on-brand, making it easier to produce polished and cohesive materials that look professional and stand out. Businesses are now empowered to create professional and engaging content effortlessly, without the need to outsource to a marketing agency or hire creative professionals in-house. In the near future, you can look forward to even more features coming to the Create module, including compatibility with new content types like podcasts and surveys, so Copilot can even create those for you. Revolutionizing video editing with Microsoft Clipchamp Transform your video editing process from a daunting task into a seamless, enjoyable experience. With its latest updates, Microsoft Clipchamp enables even those with no prior editing experience to effortlessly create professional-quality videos. AI Editing Tools: Automatically detect and trim silent parts of audio or video files. This is particularly useful for editing podcasts, meetings, and interviews. Custom Templates: Quickly create new projects without starting from scratch using a collection of over 100 video templates, including YouTube intro videos, explainer videos, and sales video templates. This is especially useful for repetitive tasks like training videos, product demos, or marketing content. Templates also help ensure videos adhere to the same branding and style. Transcript-Based Editing: Allows users to edit videos by making changes to the transcript. Users can edit videos as if they were editing a text document—it's that intuitive and straightforward. For those who may not be familiar with video editing, which often requires experience, the old complex video editing tools of the past are no longer necessary. Clipchamp democratizes video editing so anyone can make changes with ease.
