Read previewMicrosoft reorganized teams under Jared Spataro, its head of "AI at Work," shifting focus to its Copilot AI products and reducing the number of employees working on its Teams chat app, according to an excerpt of an internal memo shared with Business Insider.
"In early 2022, we recognized the pandemic as a once-in-a-generation opportunity and we surged on Teams to win," Spataro wrote.
AdvertisementMicrosoft spokesman Frank Shaw confirmed Spataro is putting more resources behind Copilot, but said Teams remains a core priority and Copilot is a part of Teams.
Copilot for Teams, Shaw said, is the company's most used and loved Copilot according to customer surveys and research and will continue to be a focus of future investments.
Microsoft is leaning into the potential of its new Copilot tools, built on OpenAI's GPT models, which so far have mixed feedback from customers.
