Coordinating teams and in-office days in our new normal of hybrid work is a difficult task, and one that carries a lot of untapped potential for productivity tools. Today Microsoft announced the public preview launch of Places, a new app a couple years in the making that aims to use AI to assist teams in syncing their in-office time.
At its core, Places offers some of the same “set your work location” functionality found in Google Calendar today, but in a more robust way. After asking users to input their work location for different days, Places offers a clean and data-rich interface for surfacing relevant info about what your co-workers’ plans are, how full or empty the office will be on a given day, availability of conference rooms and shared desks, and more.
