Last year, I shared the story of how Hands-On Tek began, but this year, I want to take you even further back in time to 1999. This was the year I started to build my very first website, at the age of 12, at a time when the Internet in my hometown was almost science fiction.

In an exciting development, Microsoft is bringing its powerful Copilot AI to platforms where users spend much of their time – social apps. This move is designed to meet users where they are, making it easier than ever to access Copilot AI capabilities in their daily communication tools.
WhatsApp users were the first to benefit from a final version of this integration, and users can now enjoy seamless assistance directly within their chats. But that’s not all. Microsoft has been working on integrating Copilot with Telegram since May.
While the full release is still in the works, eager users can already try out the beta version. This is how you can do it yourself.
Big news! Microsoft has just launched Copilot on WhatsApp. Yes, you read that right—you can now chat with the Microsoft AI assistant directly from your favorite messaging app. This exciting addition is perfect for new users who have never tried an AI assistant before, offering an easy and familiar way to start interacting with AI.
Personally, I’m loving it because it works asynchronously. I can ask a question, continue with other chats, and return to Copilot when the reply arrives. This flexibility makes it incredibly convenient and efficient for multitasking.
Here is how you can start using it today for free.
August 2024 has brought a wave of exciting updates to Microsoft Copilot, enhancing its capabilities and making it an even more powerful tool for productivity and collaboration. Among the standout features this month are the automatic summary of documents and sentiment analysis capabilities, which promise to revolutionize the way users interact with their documents and data.
One of the most anticipated features is the automatic summary of documents in Microsoft Word. Now, every time you open a document, Copilot will generate a concise summary, saving you time and helping you quickly grasp the key points. This feature is perfect for busy professionals who need to stay on top of their workload without getting bogged down in lengthy documents.
I wrote this post on the last weekend of the Paris Olympic Games, a weekend that will most likely be the last time I’ll see LeBron James and Diana Taurasi playing for the United States team on an international stage. I mention these two because they are some of my references, and I had the privilege to watch them play their entire careers while still pursuing my dream of being a professional basketball player. This fact reminded me that I haven’t told you yet about the first book I read this year – Michael Jordan: The Life by Roland Lazenby.
Michael Jordan was a big influence in my childhood and when I started playing basketball, but I never had the opportunity to see him play regularly while he was still in his prime. I was too young to have memories from the Barcelona 1992 Olympic Dream Team and growing up in Portugal, a country with just four TV channels in the public service, I never had a chance to watch a full game of the Chicago Bulls in the 90s. However, I did have a chance to watch NBA Action once a week, a show with the top plays of the week where Michael invariably appeared.
As Microsoft continues to innovate, the latest updates for Microsoft Copilot bring a host of exciting new features designed to enhance productivity and user experience. From content authoring assistance in SharePoint to personalized prompt recommendations in Copilot Lab, these updates are set to transform the way we work.
These features, along with many others, were announced during July 2024, promising to make Microsoft Copilot an even more indispensable tool for users. Stay tuned and dive deeper into each of these updates and explore how they can enhance your productivity.
I've been working with Microsoft Technologies over the last ten years, mainly focused on creating collaboration and productivity solutions that drive the adoption of Microsoft Modern Workplace.
