Microsoft Teams came out in 2017. Teams is much more than a messaging app or video conferencing platform. Teams usage has gone up dramatically since its inception.
Teams users in millions
Microsoft Teams is a collaboration app. Teams handles chat, video calls, audio calls, schedule meetings, polling, and file integration with SharePoint and OneDrive, and supports hundreds of apps. Teams was built for the modern workplace. Teams allows you and your team to stay informed, organized, and connected — all in one place.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is in all Microsoft 365 apps - Excel, Word, Outlook, PowerPoint, Teams, and other M365 apps. In Excel, we have Analyze Data on the Home tab and the ability to get data from a picture or screenshot.
In PowerPoint, we have the Rehearse with Coach. It will tell you if you speak too fast, slow, or use too many filler words. Teams and PowerPoint allow us to view live captions and even view the captions in another language.
Teams will do a meeting recap (part of Teams Premium.) Word has translation features, the Resume Assistant. Outlook has FindTime app to create and automatically schedule meetings with voting polls. There are other examples of AI in M365, but these are some of the popular features.
