Hello everyone,
Grab your coffee and settle in: three minutes to stay a week ahead.
This week, AI went from tool to teammate. Microsoft rolled out agents across Word, Excel and PowerPoint. China answered with a fresh shock on the model front. And, on our side, we launched an offer we had been preparing for exactly seven days — the story awaits you further down.

Word, Excel, PowerPoint: AI is no longer a tool, it's a teammate
The news: On Tuesday 22 April, Microsoft announced the general availability ("GA") of its agentic capabilities in Word, Excel and PowerPoint — what the company now calls Vibe Working. You describe the intent, and the AI agent executes directly inside your document.
The Codito analysis: Until now, ChatGPT lived alongside your documents. You copied, you pasted, you reworked things by hand. Not anymore. The AI agent now lives inside the file: it reads the context, suggests, edits, finalises. Microsoft Office is used by 1.3 billion people — this is the largest deployment of agentic AI in history in terms of contact surface. This is not some distant horizon: it's Monday morning, in the suite your teams already open every single day.
What it means for you: Your competitors running Office are about to produce more, faster, with less. Not in six months — as early as this week. The question is no longer "should we get started" but "how do we structure this adoption so it creates value, not chaos".

The number of the week
1.6 trillion. That's the number of parameters in the new DeepSeek V4 model unveiled on Friday 24 April — the largest model ever released by the Chinese start-up. The pace of the China / United States race is accelerating, week after week.

The Codito AI Partnership: your monthly AI partner, for €349
AI is evolving faster than your company's ability to keep up. That is precisely why we are launching the Codito AI Partnership.
A formula designed for pragmatic leaders who want an AI partner at their side, without a massive commitment and without having to hire a Head of AI at €120k a year:
- A 90-minute strategy video call every month with a dedicated consultant (review, diagnosis, roadmap)
- A personalised report delivered within 48 hours: executive summary, innovation radar, thematic deep dive, solutions catalogue
- A dedicated WhatsApp channel, with replies within 24 hours
- 30-minute flash video calls on demand, whenever a topic is urgent
- An AI maturity score assessed every month across five dimensions (processes, teams, tools, data, governance)
- Priority access to Codito's development teams if you decide to industrialise
€349 per month excl. VAT. Cancel anytime, no minimum. Up and running within seven days.
Our goal: that within twelve months, your company masters AI on its own. Not that it stays dependent on us.

The story behind this offer: seven days from a challenge to a launch
Allow me a moment of transparency.
Last Thursday, I was with my business partner Émile at an APEC workshop, "Solving my business challenge", as part of the Startup Shaker programme. We were challenged there. Head-on. On our model, on the absence of a recurring advisory offer, on the fact that we were leaving leaders to fend for themselves once a one-off engagement ended.
The criticism was fair.
Less than a week later, the Codito AI Partnership was ready: pricing, format, deliverables, maturity score, WhatsApp channel, onboarding process. Fully operational.
This episode captures how we work at Codito: we listen, we decide, we execute. If AI is shaking up your industry this week — and it is — that is exactly the pace your company needs to keep from falling behind.

Thank you for reading this far. Next week, we'll be back with a new turning point and a new real-world case. Until then, take three minutes to open Word and see for yourself what Vibe Working actually changes.
See you next Sunday, — Pierre
