Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff blasts Microsoft's Copilot: 'It just doesn't work'

  • Which copilot does he talk about? The bing one, the M365 one, the GitHub one, the studio, the sales version that integrates work Salesforce bwaaaah. Microsoft marketing is a total confusing mess as always.

    And I agree with him regarding copilot for M365. It's really been rushed to market. it's good for a few things and really bad at other things it promises especially in excel.

  • This is the same company that put out a local dev server for their frontend stack and let it rot into an unusable buggy mess 2 years later. They are planning to re-introduce it in 2025.

    Ive been using MS copilot successfully for Apex (Salesforce's backend language) and JavaScript. I would trust Microsoft over Salesforce any day for dev tools.

  • He's right. I asked Microsoft Copilot what Salesforce does but it could not explain

  • Microsoft has blown their AI advantage. Perplexity.ai is what Bing could have been.

  • MS Copilot was pretty great up until the last few weeks when they rolled out a totally new version, that is indeed, vastly inferior to the previous product. Too bad they didn’t leave well enough alone.

  • Salesforce owns Slack, a competitor to Microsoft’s Teams.

  • Co-pilot as in github copilot, available in IntelliJ? Because I find that to be pretty fantastic.

  • A bit difficult to take this commentary entirely seriously when salesforce has launched a competing product, but I do broadly agree that Microsoft's AI offerings so far have been underwhelming.
