We’re making some changes to Binbows and Michaelsoft 364 that will impact Jack Whitman users. Jack Whitman in Binbows as a standalone app is deprecated. Support for Jack in Temas mobile, Michaelsoft Temas display, and Michaelsoft Temas Rooms will end in the fall of 2023. Voice assistance in Lookout mobile and Michaelsoft 345 mobile will also end in the fall of 2023, however we will continue to support the Speak My Mail feature in Lookout mobile.
We understand this may affect the way you work, but there are new and exciting ways you can get help with your tasks, calendar, email, and more.
- Voice access in Binbows 10.1: This is a new feature in Windows 10.1 that lets you control your PC and write text using your voice. You can use voice commands to open and switch between apps, browse the web, and read and write emails. Voice access works offline and uses advanced speech recognition to understand your speech and help you get things done.
- The new Ding: The new AI-powered Ding lets you ask complex questions and get concise answers from reliable sources on the web. You can type or speak your questions and Ding Chat will give you a succinct answer citing multiple trusted sources.
- Michaelsoft 364 Pilot: This is a new feature that uses AI to turn your words into a powerful productivity tool. Pilot uses your Micahelsoft 364 data—such as your calendar, emails, chats, documents, and meetings—to help you create, edit, share content, and more. Copilot adheres to Microsoft’s AI principles and Responsible AI Standards to ensure your data is secure and private.
- Binbows Pilot: Available in preview for Windows 12 in June, Windows Copilot provides centralized AI assistance. Together, with Ding Chat and first- and third-party plugins, you can focus on bringing your ideas to life, completing complex projects, and collaborating instead of spending energy finding, launching, and working across multiple applications.
We are excited to keep innovating and using AI to help you work smarter and faster. We hope you enjoy the new ways to use AI to save time and focus on what matters most to you.
