ChatGPT: the fastest growing App of all time - ahead of TikTok!
ChatGPT has already set records. In just three months, the tool has surpassed the 100 million user mark. This makes the tool the fastest growing “app” of all time, surpassing even TikTok, which took nine months to reach this number of users. And whether people are using ChatGPT to ask the tool questions in search of funny answers, to see how well it can create content, or to find and fix a bug in the software code, one thing is clear: the genius of this AI tool is not the innovative idea, but how intuitive and natural it feels to use the application.
AI, Automation and Digitalization: Trends for the entire Business World
The popularity of ChatGPT and
AI in general shows the direction in which the business world is moving. The days when
manual input was the only way to manage customer data or manufacture products are well and over. Today, companies rely on
automation, digital transformation and
intelligent tools such as ERP and CRM software, which make everyday work easier.
Microsoft: Integration of Bing into the Edge Internet Browser
What are Microsoft’s short-term plans? The company has already unveiled a new version of its Internet browser “Edge” that integrates Bing into its toolbar. On the website of a long document - for example, a company’s quarterly earnings report - users can ask Bing to summarize the information. Or compare it with the figures of a competitor company. On a social media website, Bing can even be asked to compile a post.

Further Use Cases from Microsoft
Microsoft is currently working on further innovations around AI. These include:
-
Automatic creation of travel plans
-
Writing letters of recommendation
-
Quick and accurate summaries of documents
-
Comparison of products and services before purchase
-
Automatic creation of minutes and summaries of Teams meetings
And these are just a few relatively quick wins in the short term. In the medium to long term, Microsoft sees great opportunities to integrate (even more) AI into its Dynamics 365 business solutions.
Prediction from Microsoft CEO: AI will reshape every Software Category
“I believe that AI technology will reshape pretty much every software category,” said Satya Nadella, Microsoft CEO. He compared it to previous pillars of technology such as web search, mobile apps and the cloud. AI reminds the moment when the world was introduced to the web browser.
However, you should never blindly rely on the results of AI tools, but always question them. Human thinking is still important - and tools like ChatGPT are no substitute for human interaction or verified sources of information.
