We have all been there, yes? As you search through a vast sea of data, you are on the hunt for that elusive golden nugget of information.

Copilot is designed to help you quickly find the answers you are looking for and presents them in a concise, easy-to-understand summary using natural language.
This means you get the information you need without the clutter, making it easier to understand and use.
Let’s look at a few scenarios where Copilot can be your workplace AI companion champ.
Document decoding. Faced with a dense document that seems more cryptic than hieroglyphics?
The Copilot webpage opens. A PDF titled: ‘AI Trainer Toolkit’ is uploaded.
Provide Copilot with the document and request: ‘Explain this document in three sentences.’
Watch as it transforms a complex document into a concise summary.
Ready to celebrate your team’s hard work? Ask Copilot to ‘Write an email congratulating my team on the end of the fiscal year.’ Of course you can elaborate further in your prompt by adding in a few of the highlights from the year.
Copilot will then generate a draft, which you can personalise further.
Idea generator.
Let’s say you are a compliance officer puzzled over protocols, a prompt like :‘Suggest ways to define compliance protocol in my company’ can offer you a jumpstart on best practices.
Business proposal.
Need to craft a proposal for a children’s art supply company? Request Copilot to ‘Draft a business proposal for a company that makes art supplies for kids.
This will aid you in initiating a persuasive pitch that’s bound to make an impression.
Product brainstorming.
Dreaming up the next innovation in toasters? Ask: ‘Suggest a list of product names for a state-of-the-art toaster that is energy-efficient and stylish’ and Copilot will generate a list of potential names.
Meeting summaries.
Overwhelmed with notes after an intense meeting? Provide Copilot with your meeting notes and ask it to ‘Summarise and organise these meeting notes’, turning chaos into clarity.
Creativity companion.
If you’re planning a storyboard for an animated series and need design inspiration for a dragon, you can ask Copilot: ‘Generate storyboard images for the dragon scene in my script.’ By supplying the script, Copilot can help bring your narrative to life visually.
Perhaps you are an event planner tasked with creating a set menu for a major international event.
You could ask Copilot to ‘Develop an intricate five-course meal that represents different parts of the world.’
Or, if you are an educator seeking assistance with structuring a book report for students, simply request: ‘Create an outline students can use for a book report.’ With Copilot, the possibilities are limitless.
All it takes is a well-crafted prompt, a dash of creativity, and clear communication of your needs, allowing Copilot to help you tick items off your to-do list.
