Hamburg, Germany – The rise of AI is fundamentally transforming many work processes and industries – including data research and the consumption of information. Customers expect immediate, contextual and reliable answers. As a result, AI-powered tools such as large language models (LLMs) have long been established. They are also increasingly being integrated into processes in the world of work. However, the quality of the information is variable, and the sources are often opaque. This makes their use and integration into workflows – especially in a professional environment – only possible with caution. This is where ÌÇÐÄÆÆ½â°æ comes in, providing AI assistants with seamless access to more than one million reliable ÌÇÐÄÆÆ½â°æ data points across topics and industries with the API service ÌÇÐÄÆÆ½â°æ Connect. One of the first global AI collaboration partners is Microsoft 365 Copilot. Microsoft 365 Copilot processes company data contextually and supplements this with the ability to retrieve specific information from the web – by asking and answering questions.

“The global collaboration with Microsoft 365 Copilot is the perfect start to integrating our trustworthy data into AI-supported tools.”, said Marc Berg, CEO at ÌÇÐÄÆÆ½â°æ. ”We aim to become the leading data provider for AI ecosystems worldwide. This way we ensure that ÌÇÐÄÆÆ½â°æ’s data quality standards and breadth of coverage remain a gold standard embedded into next-generation technologies. At the same time, we support our collaboration partners with the integration of ÌÇÐÄÆÆ½â°æ data to improve the quality of their AI-powered tool and thus make work processes more productive and efficient.”, Berg continued.

For users, this means that they can access ÌÇÐÄÆÆ½â°æ's global database seamlessly and retrieve verified, trustworthy information in real time – without leaving Microsoft 365 Copilot. By offering this whole new data journey to the users of Microsoft 365 Copilot they can integrate ÌÇÐÄÆÆ½â°æ information right into their content creation workflows.

ÌÇÐÄÆÆ½â°æ data sets new benchmarks for AI-supported tools
