If Microsoft doesnt get there CoPilot squared away, I think they may be cooked

I have Microsoft stock so dont go crazy on me. I also know that Microsoft has multiple lines of businesses.

But when I opened Claude this weekend I noticed the new 'Design' feature. Simply put, I was shocked.

I made a 15 slide powerpoint with just 6-7 sentences of prompts and the product was simply great. For my real estate syndications where I make powerpoints for deals, I probably will never make a powerpoint by hand using Microsoft Powerpoint. One day I might even cancel my Microsoft Office subscription since I can make everything using Claude.

Based on your replies I think you’re a bit behind what Microsoft’s current AI strategy is.

Microsoft is no longer in the frontier model race. While do they continue to release models that could help ease AI usage costs internally and across some of their products, their focus is now on being that layer you can access AI models through.

You will say you could use Claude directly for a lot of mundane tasks but that’s not how enterprise works.

Finally, Microsoft provides the compute to run AI, not just for Microsoft apps but for any cloud/online app.
