What is Copilot?
Microsoft 365 Copilot, is your AI assistant for work that integrates seamlessly into Microsoft 365 apps, from Outlook, Teams and OneNote to Word, Excel and PowerPoint to name just a few.
Think of Copilot as your own personal assistant to make your work day more productive, saving you time everyday to prioritise what really matters. It’s not here to take your job, but to help you do your job more efficiently.
Copilot Applications and Example Prompts
Copilot helps you run more effective meetings, quickly get up to speed when you’re late to a meeting, organise key discussion points, summarise actions and plan next steps.
EXAMPLE PROMPTS: ‘Summarise what I’ve missed in the start of the meeting’, ‘What were the key points covered and what are the suggested next steps?’
Copilot in Outlook is great at working with you to prioritise your inbox and messages. Copilot also helps you draft emails faster, generate summaries of email chains and edit pre-written emails to improve their readability or help get the right points across.
EXAMPLE PROMPTS: ‘Summarise the emails I missed while I was out and flag important items’, ‘Draft a response to this email in a professional tone, asking for more details about the meeting’
Copilot in Word helps you write and create new content or edit existing content, giving you grammar, style and tone improvements. Copilot will also summarise and answer questions about documents.
EXAMPLE PROMPTS: ‘Draft a 2 page project proposal using the data from (document name)’, ‘Make the first page of this report more concise and change the tone to be more formal.’
Copilot in Excel helps you understand data better - it can identify insights through analysis, visualisation and highlighting, filtering or sorting data. A simple Copilot prompt in Excel means you no longer have to memorise formula or have a strong knowledge of Excel.
EXAMPLE PROMPTS: ‘Show me the trends in my data as a pie chart’, ‘Sort this data by cost, lowest to highest’
Copilot in PowerPoint helps you draft, create and edit presentations whilst using company branding and pre approved assets. Presentations can also be restructured and summarised with a single prompt.
EXAMPLE PROMPTS: 'Take (document name) and generate a 10 slide presentation in our company branding', 'Based on this presentation, write my speaker notes in a casual tone for a short presentation'
