These features are available to Office 365 users, but another AI enhancement, smart save reminders, is coming to MS Word for Windows soon.

Microsoft Word smart save reminders

Microsoft Word has a new AI agent that will be reminding you to save your new documents. The feature should help you avoid losing any unsaved work. Smart save reminders will be popping up below the save button while you’re working on an unsaved Word doc. Microsoft says that the new feature uses machine learning to figure out the probability of the writer saving a specific file. The AI agent collects data on the amount of time you’ve spent working on your doc. Also, it tracks the volume of content added. This information helps it determine when to remind you to save the document. So, while you’re working on unsaved doc, you may encounter the Save this file prompt. The popup notifies you that you haven’t saved your file, and offers you the Save and Not now options. The feature hasn’t reached general availability yet. Currently, only Beta Channel Office users can test it. Smart save reminders in Microsoft Word are a welcome improvement, but they’re no replacement for Auto Save.
