Turn Recent AI Advances Into Product Ideas Just Past Today's State of the Art

Drawing on AI developments you have seen in the news recently, propose product ideas that go a step further than what people can actually use today. ```hint Find the missing step For each development, separate what the technology can now do from what shipped products let people do with it. The gap between the two, for a specific user, is where a next-step idea lives. ``` ### Clarifying Questions - Should the ideas be products Microsoft could build, or ideas for any company or a startup? - How far is one step: something buildable within about a year on today's models, or something that waits on the next generation of capability? - Do you want several ideas covered briefly, or one idea developed in depth? ### What a Strong Answer Covers - Specific, accurate recent developments, each with a clear contrast between what is technically possible now and what users can actually do. - Ideas framed around a target user and a real problem rather than around the technology. - Why each idea is a credible next step: what makes it feasible soon and why it does not exist yet. - A prioritized pick with a first version, success metrics and its main risk. - Awareness of the trust, safety, privacy and cost issues the new capability raises. ### Follow-up Questions - Which of your ideas is a competitor most likely to ship first, and how would that change your plan? - What would have to be true about model cost or reliability for your top idea to work, and how would you check it quickly? - How would you decide whether the idea belongs inside an existing Microsoft product or should be its own app?
