I’ve been trying to learn Italian for the last couple of months, but it turns out I can be fluent in Italian and 8(!) different languages soon… Just need a little help from the Copilot Interpreter agent 🎤 We Dutchies always think we speak English fluently and flawlessly, but I can imagine there are some native speakers that would beg to differ. With the Interpreter agent you can avoid these awkward moments of looking for the correct word in another language as you will have the option to translate speech-to-speech in real-time during your Teams meetings. (disclaimer: Dutch isn’t supported in the first 9 available languages. Probably because someone Dutch at Microsoft said we’re really good with foreign languages 😉) You want to know the coolest part? You can also opt-in to have it simulate your own voice in the target language! Imagine the possibilities this gives for teams of different nationalities with different languages and how this could bridge the gap for people less fluent in other languages. Now, this agent is expected to be in public preview early 2025 so unfortunately I can’t give you any insights from hands-on experience. But, luckily Microsoft’s EMEA Channel Sales Lead Teams and devices, or as I like to refer to him ‘sharer of awesome content’, Michel Bouman gave a demo of the Interpreter agent at ESPC2024 in Stockholm which you can find here: https://lnkd.in/g_ncSbZp (and while you’re there, give him a follow. I promise you won’t regret it!). Initially the Interpreter agent will support the following languages: Chinese (Mandarin), English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese (Brazil), and Spanish. #Microsoft #Copilot #Interpreter #Agent Avanade Netherlands Avanade

For those who are already well-versed in AI, it's time to delve deeper into the transformative potential of autonomous agents, aka AI Agents. Here's an easy-to-understand definition that I borrow from Jon Miller in one of his recent articles : An "AI agent" is a computer program that combines an AI model (such as an LLM) with additional capabilities to access information, make decisions, and take actions, often to complete tasks without needing a human to watch over it or tell it what to do. Learn about real-world applications that are already happening and how to integrate these autonomous agents into your existing AI framework. AI agents are here to stay and are going to shake our world even more this year ...
