Microsoft 365 is not just the ‘renaming’ of Office 365. There are many useful add-ons, like the new Microsoft Editor. This artificial intelligence program can handle Word, Outlook e-mail and web browsers, providing users with ways to create writing more concise, more inclusive, and more grammatical and logical suggestions.
There also are new features in PowerPoint and Excel, like the PowerPoint presentation coaching function. If the presenter has not faced the audience for an extended time, or there are too many mood words like ‘um’ within the speech, the application will remind about them. Excel adds tracking and new services for analyzing personal expenses. Users can import data from their own bank and checking accounts.
In addition, Microsoft 365 will add two new features – Microsoft Family Safety app and new features in Microsoft Teams for consumers. the previous app is designed to permit families to share their location and manage screen time across multiple devices. It’s almost similar to Apple’s Find My app.
