This is the Everyday AI Show, the everyday podcast where we simplify AI and bring its power to your fingertips. Listen daily for practical advice to boost your career, business, and everyday life.
Microsoft just wrapped up its annual Build Developer Conference in San Francisco. So obviously there's like 197 new pieces of AI hardware, software, infra, dev tools, and more. And I'm not going to painstakingly read them all off to you on today's episode. you know i go long as we'll just link to those in the newsletter anyways but i was lucky enough to get to attend the conference in san francisco talking with microsoft c-suite leaders product managers developers and more and while the announcements were buzzy i'm not personally walking away buzzing from any one certain update And that may be because I'm personally a Mac user, so many of these AI advancements aren't going to touch my daily workflow.
However, the totality of what Microsoft announced actually showed that it is beyond serious about competing at the highest level in the AI era, even though it may not win any single race. And the hundreds of new AI updates are obviously going to change how millions of enterprises work. That's why on today's show, we're going to highlight the four biggest takeaways that I had and that you need to know from Build and how they'll shape the future of AI in the workplace. All right, so here is the big picture. So even though this is a developer conference, there's plenty of new updates for non-technical business leaders as well. And Microsoft showed all of its cards. It's going all in on a Gentic desktop.
not just with its open claw integration, but with new local models, new hardware and software. And I think, though, that Microsoft is still very far behind in some areas of AI, yet it's setting the tone in other AI eras.
What were the four biggest AI takeaways from Microsoft Build 2024?
But I don't even necessarily think it matters which category they may win or may not win, because in the end, I think Microsoft is always just going to be a top two or three company and just about everything. And that seems to be their strategy. So on today's show, you're going to know the four biggest AI moves that Microsoft made at Build and my thoughts on them. I'm going to tell you why I don't think it matters if Microsoft's new models that they announced. Yeah. seven of them total, not all of them new, but some of them new. I'm going to tell you why I don't think it matters if they're successful or not. And you're going to know why Microsoft's small hardware plays can help overcome their big model problems.

You know, I am lucky enough to get to go to a handful of conferences a year.
I've done Microsoft's Ignite conference. That's maybe more for general business leaders. And then Build is for developers. But I will tell you this. Even what was covered in this build is much different than what's been covered in years past, right? Some of the normal build tools, right? Some of the more developer centric tools that normally are grabbing all the headlines barely got mentioned. And I think that's just indicative of where we're at in today's day and age. Right. The tools are changing. The capabilities are shifting. And even what it means to be a developer, that bar is being lowered. And I don't think that that's a bad thing necessarily. And I think before we even talk about, you know, here's what's new.
