AI News: Microsoft Copilot, Dream Machine API, and Latest Generative AI Tools

Hello everyone.
So, today’s generative AI news.

Microsoft’s Copilot has evolved significantly.
For example, Copilot announced a feature that processes Excel data and generates Python code.
It seems that it has also evolved in Excel, Word, and Outlook.
Also, a chatbot has appeared in Copilot Studio.
