Microsoft Plans Ground-Up AI Rebuild of Outlook Under New Leadership
Microsoft is reportedly undertaking a major reorganization of its Outlook team with plans to rebuild the email client from the ground up for artificial intelligence. According to internal sources, the company aims to transform Outlook into an “AI-native” application that acts more like a personal assistant than traditional email software. The shift comes under new leadership as Microsoft pushes to embed AI throughout its productivity suite.
