The Artificial Intelligence (AI) innovation wave has got every organization on its toes. As the technology advances and gets better (and smarter) with each passing day, customer expectations are constantly growing. Cloud giants Microsoft and Google regularly introduce a range of new and improved AI features to stay ahead of the competition, fulfill customer needs, and grow revenue. Read on as we compare the new-age AI capabilities of Microsoft and Google in this blog post.
Ever since the launch of Chat GPT, AI (and GenAI in particular) has become an integral part of every business, every product, and every discussion. In the business world, AI offers benefits across several use cases.
For instance, it empowers employees to reduce administrative burdens that slow down productivity and focus on doing meaningful work. It allows service desk agents to receive real-time assistance and guidance to improve customer service. In addition, it enables sales professionals to summarize conversations, nurture leads, and close more deals.
To highlight the opportunities Artificial Intelligence (AI) can unlock, IDC conducted a study to showcase the value of AI in enhancing operational efficiency, employee experience, and customer engagement. Key findings include:
Microsoft is bringing the full power of Artificial Intelligence to more people and businesses with its constant AI innovations. With capabilities that allow users to work smarter, Microsoft AI unleashes new levels of creativity, connectivity, productivity, and intelligence via Microsoft Copilot.
Today, this everyday AI companion is facilitating people across industries to harness the power of AI in their day-to-day lives. With unified AI capabilities, Copilot streamlines access to AI assistance from anywhere in the world. Several new Copilot innovations are underway, such as:
Google is leaving no stone unturned in exploiting the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI). With the mission to organize and make information universally accessible and useful, Google is integrating several new AI capabilities across its broad portfolio. From research to product integrations, cybersecurity to search, the company is driving innovation and making AI technologies an integral part of daily lives. Some of the remarkable advancements of Google AI include:
As new AI capabilities emerge, Microsoft and Google are driving painstaking efforts to stay at the leading edge of the technology. Here’s a side-by-side comparison of the different Microsoft and Google AI chatbots and assistants:
As the Artificial Intelligence (AI) battle intensifies, both Microsoft and Google offer a rich and extensive portfolio of AI solutions, with innovations constantly underway. For instance, Google’s Circle to Search feature will enable users to search for anything on their phone with a simple gesture — without switching apps. Similarly, Microsoft’s Copilot Pro will provide users access to AI-powered features inside Office apps like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint with priority access to the latest OpenAI models and the ability to build their own Copilot GPT.
While the potential economic impact and innovations by companies like Microsoft and Google are significant, business leaders and decision-makers must dive deep into the use cases that are best positioned to drive value. They must evaluate the possible return on investment, be pragmatic about the time to value, and embrace implementation best practices. They must also carefully gauge (and compare) the capabilities of Microsoft AI and Google AI and choose what makes the most sense for their business.
