How AI in Microsoft Teams and Moveworks boosts productivity
The groundbreaking capability of AI has arrived, and it may be just in time, according to the new Work Trend Index Annual Report from Microsoft. The study reveals that 64 percent of employees are struggling under the weight of work. With the exponential influx of emails, meetings, and notifications, 70 percent are eager for AI to help relieve their heavy workloads so they can focus on more meaningful work.
Weave AI into the flow of work in Teams to increase employee productivity
Moveworks on Microsoft Teams, a next-generation bot that can operate within the Teams platform, uses conversational AI to help employees improve productivity by automating common enterprise tasks and workflows. Handling those processes autonomously, often without intervention from human resources (HR) and IT, frees up staff to focus on high-value, transformational work for enterprises.
Since launching on Teams about four years ago, Moveworks has earned dozens of Fortune 500 customers by saving countless hours of employee time, making work more efficient, and reducing millions of dollars in IT support costs. Three key strategies helped generate that success.
Three Strategies for Success
- Weave AI into the flow of work in Teams to increase employee productivity.
- Use notifications within Teams to boost engagement.
- Integrate across the Microsoft ecosystem to create rich user experiences.
The Moveworks bot is built on over 200 machine learning and large language models in order to comprehend enterprise context and business jargon in more than 100 languages. In short, employees can get what they need, when they need it, by chatting with Moveworks on Teams as if it were a live agent.
Using Microsoft Teams as a chat interface, Moveworks integrates its bot into the work process to simplify tasks for employees. The bot accesses various enterprise systems such as IT, HR, finance, and facilities management, and displays relevant information, request forms, and more in Teams. This eliminates the need for employees to switch between apps, search for information, or learn new workflows.
“Moveworks is committed to meeting our users where they work, and Microsoft Teams has become that platform. Our customers now expect to be able to accomplish essential tasks without ever having to leave Teams.”
Vaibhav Nivargi, CTO of Moveworks
