Microsoft is already synonymous with work, but the company is currently trying to make themselves irreplaceable by creating a new productivity layer called MetaOS which will tie together all of their apps and services with a unified API plus a good mix of AI added in.

Writing on the ZDNet blog, Mary Jo Foley explains that MetaOS (also TAOS), would be built in Microsoft’s productivity cloud (now the ‘substrate’ of MetaOS) which contains silos of customer data in services such as SharePoint and Office 365, and would be designed to make user experiences and user-facing apps smarter and more proactive.

“We are excited about transforming our customers into ‘AI natives,’ where technology augments their ability to achieve more with the files, web pages, news, and other content that people need to get their task done efficiently by providing them timely and actionable notifications that understands their intents, context and adapts to their work habits.”

To condense it down to a practical level, the work would unify all your company’s productivity data, analyse it behind the scenes with AI, and deliver actionable insights and assistance to help you get work done better and faster, no matter whether you are on your phone or Mac or Windows PC.

Microsoft is looking to bring in 3rd party developers, so I expect we will hear more about the technology in the near future.
