Meet Microsoft 365 Copilot: The coolest thing ever for work
Have you ever wished you had a magic wand that could do all the boring and tedious stuff for you at work? Like writing reports, making slides, sending emails, or chatting with your team? Well, guess what? You don’t need a magic wand. You just need Microsoft 365 Copilot.
Microsoft 365 Copilot is a new feature that lets you use your words to get things done faster and easier. It works with your data and the Microsoft 365 apps you already use every day—Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, and more—to help you unleash your creativity, boost your productivity, and improve your skills.
Microsoft 365 Copilot is based on GitHub Copilot, a tool that helps developers write code like a boss with AI suggestions. GitHub Copilot was built with OpenAI Codex, a system that can generate code for any programming language from natural language descriptions. Developers who have used GitHub Copilot say they are more productive, spend less time searching for information, and can focus on more fun work.
Microsoft 365 Copilot is awesome for everyone. You don’t need to be a developer or an expert to use it. You just need to know how to type or speak. Microsoft 365 Copilot understands what you want and helps you do it.
Whether you want to write a blog post, create a presentation, send an email, or chat with your colleagues, Microsoft 365 Copilot can assist you with natural language prompts and suggestions.
For example:
If you want to write a blog post about the latest trends in AI, you can simply type “write a blog post about the latest trends in AI” and Microsoft 365 Copilot will generate a draft for you based on your data and information from across your organization. You can then edit and tweak it as you like.
If you want to create a presentation for your next meeting, you can simply say “Create a presentation for my next meeting” and Microsoft 365 Copilot will create a slide deck for you based on your calendar, emails, chats, documents, meetings, and more. You can then customize it as you like.
If you want to send an email to your boss, you can simply type “send an email to my boss” and Microsoft 365 Copilot will compose an email for you based on your data and the tone you want to use. You can then review it and send it as you like.
If you want to chat with your team, you can simply say “Chat with my team” and Microsoft 365 Copilot will start a conversation with your team members based on your data and the topic you want to discuss. You can then join and continue the conversation as you like.
