Since launching our new generative AI experiences in products like Copilot, we\u2019ve received a tremendous amount of product feedback both on what you\u2019ve enjoyed and what you want more of in the future. We have consistently heard that you expect the next wave of AI experiences to feel seamlessly personalized, effortlessly integrated, and coherent across platforms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
