00:00Not a lot of people is talking about it yet, but the new AI search platform, Upend, has just unveiled some impressive features.

00:10This Canadian startup has just come out of stealth mode, and they're ready to take on the big guns like Google and Microsoft with their AI-powered search.

00:18So it all started as a summer project by Jeevan Arora, a student at the University of Toronto.

00:23After getting some great feedback, he decided to turn it into a full-blown platform that businesses can sign up for, and I can confirm it's pretty impressive.

00:31At its core, Upend lets you choose from a whopping 100 different AI language models to search with.

00:36You've got all the big names like OpenAI, Claude, and Mistral, plus some specialized models for things like coding.

00:42You just type in your question, pick your model, and you get a detailed answer with citations, so you know exactly where the info is coming from.

00:49Now, if you think that this is kind of like perplexity, yeah, there are some similarities, but Upend has much more to offer.

00:55For one, they've got way more models to choose from, plus they let you base your answers on Wikipedia, which is pretty cool.

01:01But here's where Upend really stands out. Pricing.

01:04They want to make advanced AI accessible to everyone, so they charge based on your team's total usage, not per user.

01:10Their team plan is just $20 a month, which gives you access to all their models up to a certain limit.

01:15And if you're a student, you can snag a discounted plan for only $5 per month.

01:20Compare that to Perplexity's $40 per month per user, and you can see how Upend is really shaking things up.

01:26Now, Upend is still pretty new, so there are some kinks to work out, especially with the user interface.

01:30But the CEO, Jeevan Arora, has big plans.

01:34He wants Upend to eventually become a full-on task engine, where it not only answers your questions, but actually does things for you.

01:41Like, if you search for how to convert a PNG to JPG, Upend will just do it for you.

01:46Pretty sweet, right?

01:47Moving forward, Aurora plans to keep growing Upend's library of AI models and add some important features for businesses,

01:54like single sign-on to make onboarding teams much easier.

01:58He's even thinking about launching a mobile app and an API.

02:01But here's the thing.

02:02With companies like Upend and Perplexity making waves, traditional search engines might be in trouble.

02:07Gartner predicts that by 2026, traditional search volume will drop by 25%.

02:13With AI chatbots and virtual agents taking over, that means companies are going to have to rethink their whole marketing strategy

02:19as AI becomes more and more embedded in every aspect of business.

02:23So, there you have it.

02:25Upend, a huge library of models, affordable pricing, and big plans for the future, they're definitely one to watch.

02:32And speaking of Microsoft, though I haven't mentioned them yet, just segueing into a new topic,

02:36with their latest updates to Copilot for Microsoft 365, they're aiming to turn everyone into a prompt engineer.

02:43So, in the coming months, Copilot will get a new autocomplete feature.

02:48Essentially, as you start typing a prompt, Copilot will suggest ways to make it better.

02:52For example, if you start with Summarize, it might offer to summarize your last 10 unread emails or other office-related tasks.

02:59But that's not all.

03:00Microsoft is also working on a feature called Elaborate Your Prompt.

03:04This will basically rewrite your prompts to get the most out of Copilot.

03:07It's perfect for when you know what you want Copilot to do, but you're not sure how to phrase it for the best results.

03:12Microsoft is revealing these new features alongside their annual Work Trend Index,

03:17a joint report with LinkedIn on how AI is being used in the workplace.

03:21They surveyed a whopping 31,000 people across 31 countries and analyzed data from LinkedIn and Microsoft 365.

03:28And get this, 75% of people are already using AI at work.

03:33That's a huge number.

03:34In fact, 78% of AI users are bringing their own AI tools to the office rather than waiting for their companies to provide them.

03:42Microsoft even talks about the rise of the AI power user, workers who have embraced AI to save time and reimagine their workflows.

03:50These power users are apparently saving over 30 minutes per day compared to AI skeptics.

03:54Of course, it's worth noting that this report comes as Microsoft is under pressure to show that their big investments in AI are paying off.

04:03In their recent quarter, AI services contributed 7 points to their 31% revenue growth in Azure and other cloud services.

04:11Still, it's clear that AI is becoming an increasingly important part of the modern workplace.

04:16And with tools like Copilot getting smarter and more user-friendly, it'll be fascinating to see how companies and workers continue to adapt and innovate in the age of AI.
