This week, Microsoft posted an overview of how AI has improved its Outlook clients on the desktop, mobile, and web.
“Valuing people’s time is behind everything we’re doing with AI in Outlook today,” Microsoft corporate vice president Gaurav Sareen explains. “We want to help you spend more time focusing on what matters to you—family, friends, hobbies, fitness, or whatever it may be, and less on routine tasks that can be easily taken care of by AI and machine learning behind the scenes. To do this, we are using AI technologies from across the company: Microsoft Research, Bing, Cortana, as well as data and insights powered by the Microsoft Graph.”

<p>"<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Search. This has always been core to Outlook, but it’s been improved in recent years with Top Results" the iOS outlook app, i think, is brilliant. But the search is terrible, there are the 'top results' and that's it. If their algorithm doesn't consider what your actually looking for to be a 'top result' you are screwed as there is no other option. This is a terrible 'feature'.</span></p>
