AI assistants

Support from AI for individual tasks – right where your teams are working.

AI assistants help your employees find information more quickly, structure content more effectively, analyse data and receive suggestions for specific tasks. They don’t work independently on entire processes, but provide targeted support in existing applications and processes. Here is how they differ from AI agents: whilst agents support tasks being carried out across multiple steps or can initiate tasks themselves, AI assistants mostly stand by your side at specific points in the working process, in applications such as Microsoft 365, Business Central or unitop. We help you deploy suitable AI assistants, implement them in a way that makes sense and safely integrate them into your Microsoft and unitop landscape.

Microsoft 365 Copilot

Microsoft 365 Copilot assists your teams in Microsoft 365 – in programs such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams, SharePoint and Outlook. That way, you can structure information more quickly, prepare content and configure office work processes more efficiently.

Business Central Copilot

Copilot in Business Central makes AI support available directly within the ERP context. For unitop, that is particularly relevant, as the solution is based on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and AI functions can therefore be used more closely with ERP data, documents and operational processes.

Assistance right when you need it

AI assistants make working with online data easier

Many everyday tasks begin with the same questions: Where can I find the right information? How can I summarise large volumes of information? Which data are relevant? How can I produce a text, an evaluation or a response more rapidly? These are precisely the things that AI assistants can help you with. They can help you carry out research and analyses, and formulate and prepare individual steps of a process. Your employees will continue to play an active part in this – they set the task, evaluate the result and decide what parts of it are ultimately used. This results in a practically based way of utilising AI that reduces the workload of your teams and is on hand to help them with minimal preparation required.

Making everyday tasks easier

Where AI assistants can help you in your day-to-day work

Finding information more quickly

AI assistants help users capture relevant content in applications, documents, datasets or communication streams more quickly – for purposes such as preparing a response, scheduling a process or carrying out research into a particular topic.

Evaluating data and lists in a more comprehensible way

In lists, tables or ERP data, AI assistants can help to create structured views and compile information that is needed to make decisions. That can certainly be helpful when processing customer, item or document-based data.

Preparing content

Texts, summaries, structures for presentations, product descriptions or draft responses can be compiled more quickly and then checked by specialists. This creates a solid foundation that your teams can continue working on.

Simplifying the steps of a process

AI assistants can propose suitable fields, formulations or next steps. This reduces the amount of manual work required, without sacrificing control.

From assistance to action

AI assistants or AI agents: Which one is suitable for your needs?

AI assistants help your teams carry out individual tasks. They respond to input from users, provide suggestions, summarise information or help analyse data. Typical examples of AI assistants are Microsoft Copilot in Microsoft 365 or Copilot in Business Central. AI agents, on the other hand, are more suited to carrying out multi-step processes and procedures. They can evaluate information, determine the next steps and by carrying out associated actions, can prepare, initiate or perform tasks as well. With all aspects of your ERP system, unitop BC agents within Business Central and unitop 365 agents based on Microsoft Copilot Studio can be used across platforms to help perform processes and prepare or initiate defined procedures.

Applying both approaches can be a sensible move. A crucial factor is whether you are looking to simplify steps within a process or want to use AI to monitor processes more actively.

Implementing AI assistants sensibly and dependably

Activating a function is not the only benefit that AI assistants are able to provide. What is crucial is for your organisation to know which tasks can benefit from support, what data can be used in order to achieve that and how the results are going to be checked. We help you identify areas that are suitable for AI assistants, clarify the technical requirements and train your teams on how to use them correctly and dependably. The focus is on assistance from AI that will help you in your everyday work – assistance that is comprehensible, controlled and able to connect with your existing systems.

Frequently asked questions about AI assistants

What is an AI assistant?

An AI assistant is an AI function that helps your employees perform individual tasks. It can answer questions, summarise information, prepare content, analyse data or provide suggestions. Users initiate the task, check the result and decide how it is going to be used.

How do AI assistants differ from AI agents?

AI assistants help perform individual steps in a process or procedure. AI agents are more suited to carrying out multi-step processes and procedures and can evaluate information, determine the next steps and prepare or initiate defined actions. For many organisations, both levels make sense: AI assistants make everyday working tasks easier and AI agents help carry out more complex processes.

What AI assistants does GOB Software & Systeme offer?

We help you deploy Microsoft Copilot in Microsoft 365 and use it dependably. We can also activate suitable functions of Copilot in Business Central. For unitop, Copilot in Business Central is especially relevant, because unitop is based upon Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

When does using an AI assistant make sense?

Using an AI assistant makes sense whenever your teams would like to perform tasks more easily, more rapidly or in a more structured way. Typical areas of use include research, analysis, summarising, compiling texts, compiling data or providing direct assistance within existing applications.
