Can Microsoft’s productivity apps survive the age of AI?

Microsoft's concerns about the impact of AI on its core productivity apps, including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, as reported by Bloomberg, highlights the potential disruption AI can bring to traditional software models. This means that website owners who rely on Microsoft's productivity apps to create and manage their online content may need to adapt to new tools and workflows that integrate AI capabilities. As AI-generated content becomes more prevalent, website owners may see changes in how they produce and edit their website's text, spreadsheets, and presentations, potentially altering their overall content strategy. To prepare for this shift, website owners can take several steps: monitor their website's traffic and analytics to identify potential AI bot traffic, review and update their llms.txt files to ensure they are allowing or disallowing the right AI bots, and explore new AI-powered tools that can enhance their content creation and management processes, such as AI-assisted writing or image generation.
