- Develop partnership opportunities across AI models and services, productivity, education, creativity, gaming, cross-device experiences, and emerging software ecosystems
- Evaluate potential partners from both product and business perspectives, including customer value, differentiation, integration feasibility, commercial model, scalability, and strategic fit
