Transform your workday with Copilot for Microsoft 365 – Part 2

Creativity is key to delivering customer value. In the second part of this mini-series, we explore how you can harness the power of Copilot for Microsoft 365 to make more of the apps you use every day.

Use the right prompts

Copilot for Microsoft 365 is a formidable tool in the right hands, but as with any AI tool, the results are only as good as the prompts you enter.

A good prompt should have four parts:

• Your goal: What are you looking for Copilot to deliver? "I want a list of 3–5 bullet points to help me prepare…"

• The context: Who is involved in or affected by your request, and what are you trying to achieve? "… for an upcoming meeting with a client, focusing on their current state and what they want to achieve."

• Your expectation: What is the best way for Copilot to answer your request? “Use a friendly but authoritative tone in your reply.”

• The source: What information or samples do you want the CoPilot to use? ".. focus on emails and Teams chats with Ben and Ollie over the last two weeks."

Making the most of Copilot across Microsoft 365

Whilst there are thousands of ways Copilot can help enhance your creativity, many of which will be unique to you and your role, here are a few things we love about Copilot.
