A new feature coming to the Microsoft Teams Premium subscription service is one of the more useful integrations of OpenAI's GPT-3.5. It's the first more obvious integration of OpenAI's language processing expertise since the company and Microsoft announced their expanded partnership. This updated service will cost US$10 (around CA$13) per month and will automate some traditional administrative tasks in meetings, like taking notes or creating summaries.
Microsoft is calling this new AI-powered feature "intelligent recap." It is powered by GPT-3.5's intelligent recap and can create “automatically generated meeting notes, recommended tasks, and personalized highlights.” It applies even if you don't log on for the meeting.
Teams Premium will do a better job of knowing what you did and didn't see or hear during a meeting, so you can easily find relevant information. Microsoft says intelligent recap will automatically generate labelled chapters and create "personalized timeline markers" where you logged on and off recorded meetings. That will make it easier to scrub through the parts you missed.
Teams Premium plans to do the same thing for speakers eventually, meaning you can look up what a coworker said and reference that. Microsoft plans to fully enable the AI features in Teams Premium (the text-generating parts) in the second quarter of 2023.
