Microsoft Copilot Lab – neue Anlaufstelle zu einer effizienteren und kreativeren Arbeitsweise mit KI-unterstützten Tools.
Microsoft Copilot Lab – neue Anlaufstelle zu einer effizienteren und kreativeren Arbeitsweise mit KI-unterstützten Tools.

Microsoft hat vor wenigen Tagen eine neue Plattform für Generative KI vorgestellt: das Copilot Lab. Als Autor des Buches KI für Content Creation sehe ich hier einen wichtigen Schritt, um Anwendern den Umgang mit KI näherzubringen. Das Copilot Lab bietet eine Fülle von Ressourcen, die darauf ausgerichtet sind, die Benutzererfahrung mit Microsofts KI-Assistenten, Copilot, zu verbessern.

Microsoft Copilot Lab steigert KI-Kompetenz

Das Copilot Lab ist das Ergebnis des Bestrebens, eine Schnittstelle zwischen fortschrittlicher Technologie und deren Anwendern zu schaffen. Es ist ein Platz, der darauf ausgerichtet ist, KI-Kompetenz, also das Wissen und die Skills, die für den effizienten Einsatz von KI notwendig sind, zu vermitteln.

Microsoft hat im Copilot Lab umfangreichen Ressourcen zusammengetragen, um Anwendern das umfassende Potential der KI näherzubringen. Training-Videos, vorgefertigte Prompts und diverse Tipps und Tricks – das Copilot Lab bietet ein breites Spektrum an Materialien, die zum Entdecken einladen.

Angefangen bei instruktiven Videos auf der Landingpage des Copilot Labs, die Einblicke in die Grundlagen des Microsoft KI-Assistenten geben, bis hin zu spezifischen Anleitungen, wie Benutzer ihre Aufgaben in Microsoft 365 effektiv erledigen können:

Praktische Prompts für den Alltag in Copilot Lab

Das Copilot Lab bietet eine Auswahl an Beispiel-Prompts für die unterschiedlichsten Anwendungen – von OneNote über Outlook bis hin zu PowerPoint. Die Nutzer können durch diese navigieren, um Anregungen zu erhalten, wie sie den Copiloten am besten in ihre tägliche Arbeit integrieren können.

Für Einsteiger in die Welt der KI-Chatbots ist der Abschnitt Eingabeaufforderung – eine Kunst besonders wertvoll. Hier werden Nutzern Tools und Artikel an die Hand gegeben, die aufzeigen, wie man effektive Prompts formuliert und somit die besten Ergebnisse aus KI-Chatbots erzielt.

Das Copilot Lab verdeutlicht die Unterschiede zwischen den zahlreichen Copilot-Produkten, wie dem eigenständigen Chatbot Copilot und der Integration in Microsoft 365, Windows 11 sowie Microsoft Edge. Dadurch können Nutzer das für sie passende KI-Tool auswählen.

Weiterführend: KI für Content Creation

Wer noch tiefer in die Thematik der KI-gestützten Content-Erstellung eintauchen möchte, dem lege ich mein neues Buch KI für Content Creation (aktuell Platz 1 der Neuerscheinungen im Bereich KI) ans Herz. Es bietet praxisnahe Einblicke in die Integration von KI in kreative Prozesse und berücksichtigt dabei wichtige ethische Aspekte.

Das Copilot Lab öffnet Ihnen die Tür zu einer Welt, in der KI nicht nur unterstützt, sondern auch inspiriert. Entdecken Sie mehr auf Copilot Lab und nutzen Sie das volle Potenzial Ihres KI-Assistenten.
