Fabian's Take
CPO & Chief AI Officer
"Microsoft botched this and it's no wonder very few people use it. The problem: it's not productized well. It's not as configurable and personalizable and doesn't learn as cleverly as ChatGPT and the likes. It doesn't interact cleverly with other software, amazingly not even with Microsoft products. Claude is better at Excel and Powerpoint than Microsoft's own assistant. High time for Microsoft to catch up!"
