AI in your apps.

AI built into software you already use, such as Outlook, Excel, Xero, Salesforce and Canva.

What it is.

  • Microsoft 365 Copilot works inside Word, Excel, Outlook and Teams. It is a paid add-on.
  • Gemini is included in Google Workspace business plans. JAX (Just Ask Xero) answers questions about your finances and drafts invoices.
  • Salesforce Agentforce, Canva and Adobe Firefly add AI to sales, service and design work.

Why it matters to you.

  • There is nothing new to learn. The AI appears as a button in tools your staff already know.
  • It can only see what the app can see. If your data is messy, its answers will be too.
  • Check what you already pay for before buying anything new. Several of these come included.
