USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE SUPPORTED PROMPT TOOLS IN OFFICE APPLICATIONS

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI)-enabled prompting technologies have begun to produce more functional solutions for improving personal productivity and creativity by providing office software users with simpler information search and prompting commands. Prompt technologies that facilitate ways of accessing data and information sources from different systems aim to strengthen the effects of individual contributions to the improvement of business processes by contributing to the creation of more creative documents, presentations, e-mails and spreadsheets. Copilot is an AI-enabled prompting technology developed for this purpose. It is an assistant that enables users to reveal their more productive and creative sides with the features of gathering and transferring information and documents created in Microsoft 365 and other office applications. In this article, the basic components and functionality of the AI-supported Copilot prompt technology are introduced, and its individual and corporate effectiveness regarding the company processes is tried to be explained with an application. In the application process, it is aimed to support the decision processes of a national company operating in the e-commerce market on pet foods by processing the data of a national company operating in the e-commerce market with Copilot AI assistant integrated into Excel application.

Abstract

Yapay Zeka (AI) destekli istem teknolojileri, ofis yazılımları kullanıcılarına daha basit bilgi arama ve istem komutları sunarak kişisel üretkenliği ve yaratıcılığı artırmaya yönelik daha işlevsel çözümler üretmeye başladı. Farklı sistemlerden veri ve bilgi kaynaklarına erişim yollarını kolaylaştıran istem teknolojileri, daha yaratıcı belgeler, sunumlar, e-postalar ve elektronik tablolar oluşturulmasına katkı sağlayarak iş süreçlerinin iyileştirilmesinde bireysel katkıların etkilerini güçlendirmeyi hedefliyor. Copilot bu amaçla geliştirilmiş yapay zeka destekli bir yönlendirme teknolojisidir. Microsoft 365 ve diğer ofis uygulamalarında oluşturulan bilgi ve belgeleri bir araya getirme ve aktarma özellikleri ile kullanıcıların daha üretken ve yaratıcı yönlerini ortaya çıkarmalarını sağlayan bir asistandır. Bu makalede yapay zeka destekli Copilot istem teknolojisinin temel bileşenleri ve işlevselliği tanıtılmış, şirket süreçlerine ilişkin bireysel ve kurumsal etkinliği bir uygulama ile anlatılmaya çalışılmıştır. Uygulama sürecinde, e-ticaret pazarında faaliyet gösteren ulusal bir firmanın evcil hayvan mamaları konusundaki verilerinin Excel uygulamasına entegre edilen Copilot yapay zeka asistanı ile işlenerek karar süreçlerinin desteklenmesi amaçlanmıştır.
