> "increase engagement"

It's hard to follow for me. Increase engagement in... office apps? For why?!



Because it increases the prestige of your department when you can say 'we developed features which are now used by X% of users'. If you've ever wondered why every new feature in a Microsoft product seems to need to be used, this is why. It's so the team that implemented it can justify themselves.

Probably more like increase engagement of Copilot. Microsoft is basically all-in on AI/Copilot.
