Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff Slams Microsoft's Copilot, Compares It To Failed 'Clippy' Assistant: '…Like We're Selling Science Projects To Companies'

Quick Summary:

What Happened: On Thursday, in an interview with Bloomberg’s Emily Chang at the Salesforce Dreamforce conference, Benioff said that Microsoft’s Copilot has not offered any value to customers.“Microsoft co-pilot is basically the new Microsoft Clippy that customers have not gotten value from it,” he said, adding, ” These LLMs ..this is like we’re selling science projects to companies and they’re tired of it they have not gotten the value.”

Earlier this year in July, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella disclosed that Copilot has been adopted by over 77,000 organizations, marking a 180% increase year-over-year.

Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff has criticized Microsoft Corporation’s (NASDAQ:MSFT) Copilot by comparing it to the infamous “Clippy” assistant, which was ultimately removed in 2007.
