Microsoft Introduces GPT-3.5-Enabled Teams Premium: Here Is What It Means
Microsoft earlier announced a multi-million dollar investment in OpenAI earlier.
Microsoft introduced a GPT-3.5-enabled premium Teams messaging service on February 1. The move is aimed at helping simplify meetings with the help of OpenAI's chatbot. The tech giant said that the premium service will cost $7 per month until June this year. The company further added that the service will cost $10 from July 2022 onwards.
According to the company's official blog post, AI-generated chapters will divide meetings into sections to ensure it is easy to choose the content most relevant to users of Microsoft Teams. Its intelligent recap will automatically generate meeting chapters on the basis of meeting transcripts too.
In case the user has missed any meeting, he can see a personalised timeline of markers that will allow him to access and listen to the minutes of the meeting recordings.

The introduction of GPT-3.5 will also assist in working with people who speak different native languages. The AI will assist in translating live captions into native languages in real-time. Microsoft said, "With live translations (for captions) now available in Teams Premium, you get AI-powered real-time translations from 40 spoken languages."
Nadella tweeted, "We’re bringing the power of large language models, including OpenAI’s GPT, to Teams Premium, as we make meetings more intelligent, personalized, and protected."

The organisation announced a separate multi-million dollar investment in OpenAI earlier. Microsoft aims to roll out the GPT-3.5 in all of its products and departments. The move will mean tough competition with another tech giant, Google.
It can generate human-like responses to queries and produce multiple kinds of texts on the basis of commands given to it. Its unique ability to process and present the required information like humans is attracting companies to invest in it.
On Wednesday, the chatbot announced a $20 monthly subscription plan. This will allow users and subscribers to access and use the platform's faster response services. Subscribing to ChatGPT will also give loyal users access to the latest features and improved performance in its operations.
