Microsoft Project Sophia

Microsoft have announced “Project Sophia” which “aims to help…customers solve complex, cross-domain business problems with AI, by enabling them to interact with data in new ways and answer strategic questions that drive better outcomes“.

Reading the announcement blog, it sounds very interesting but I don’t fully understand how it differs from the raft of Copilot products being released at the moment. Project Sophia “enables users to discover, visualize, and interact with data in new ways, to optimize business processes, and answer strategic questions that drive better outcomes” which sounds a lot like what we expect from a Copilot to me. It currently sits as part of the Dynamics 365 product area so no doubt we’ll see about 874 new SKUs appear at some point as the Project Sophia functionality makes its way to the price lists.

I’m keen to see what comes of this – I expect much of it will be absorbed into other products or SKUs.
