Seeking a Virtual Assistant? Meet the New Microsoft Copilot

Procedures and Policies
Nicole Keiner
Tuesday, 30 May 2023

Imagine having a personal assistant who can help you with your Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Teams, and Outlook work. That is where Microsoft 365 Copilot comes in. It can help you write, edit, and summarize documents by giving suggestions based on your prompts. You can easily create professional-looking presentations from your existing files and ideas with PowerPoint. Analyzing data is made easy with Excel. And for those who need to run effective Teams meetings and create detailed agendas, Copilot has got you covered. Copilot even works with Outlook to help you work smarter, not harder, by summarizing long email threads, identifying critical viewpoints, and even responding to emails with just a few simple clicks. You can save time and effort by letting Copilot do the work.

This month, Microsoft 365 is officially launching to the public its AI Copilot feature for its applications and services, offering users an intelligent virtual assistant to enhance their experience. Much like the Copilot sidebars we’ve seen in Edge, Office apps, and even GitHub, Windows Copilot will be integrated directly into Windows 11 and available to open and use from the taskbar across all apps and programs. Once released, the tool will provide an intuitive AI-assisted experience for users to manage their digital workplace environments better.

 

Microsoft Copilot Explained

microsoft copilot

The Microsoft Copilot tool is an innovative computer program that utilizes advanced AI technology, specifically the GPT-4 model developed by OpenAI. Its purpose is to assist users in generating text input that can be used across various Microsoft 365 applications such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Teams. The program achieves this by utilizing Microsoft Graph, a cloud-based API that analyzes user data, content, and preferences to provide personalized suggestions. As a result, experts believe that Copilot has the potential to advance collaboration and revolutionize the way people work together on Microsoft platforms. Copilot is expected to make work more efficient and reduce time spent scouring through menus by anticipating user needs and offering the best advice for any given task. 

 

Examples

Microsoft Copilot in Word

  • It can offer suggestions for completing a sentence or paragraph based on the context of your writing.
  • Copilot can provide synonyms for a word you've used multiple times in a document to make your writing more varied and engaging.
  • If you're struggling to develop an idea, Copilot can offer prompts to help you get started.
  • Copilot can also help summarize long documents by creating drafts based on prompts. This can save you time and effort in editing and refining your work.
  • Copilot can also assist with grammar and spelling checks to ensure your writing is error-free.

 Microsoft Copilot in Excel

  • Copilot can assist with data analysis by providing suggestions for functions and formulas to use based on your data type.
  • It can also offer recommendations for formatting your data in a visually appealing and easy-to-understand way.
  • Copilot can help you make sense of complex data sets by offering prompts and building blocks for charts and visualizations.
  • It can also suggest pivot tables and other tools to help you analyze large amounts of data quickly and efficiently.
  • In addition, Copilot can provide automated insights by identifying patterns and trends in your data, helping you draw conclusions and make informed decisions.

Microsoft Copilot in PowerPoint

  • It can suggest design templates and layouts based on the type of presentation you are creating, considering your presentation's topic, audience, and purpose.
  • Copilot can offer suggestions for images and graphics to enhance your presentation's visual appeal.
  • It can also suggest animations and transitions to make your presentation more engaging and dynamic.
  • Copilot can assist with organizing your content by providing prompts and building blocks for slides and sections.
  • In addition, Copilot can help with speech writing by offering suggestions for key points to include transitions between topics, and ways to summarize your presentation effectively.

Microsoft Copilot in Teams

  • It can help schedule meetings by suggesting meeting times based on participants' availability and preferences.
  • Copilot can assist with creating meeting agendas by providing prompts for discussion topics and note templates.
  • It can also help take meeting notes by offering suggestions for action items, decisions, and follow-up tasks.
  • Copilot can provide recommendations for chat messages by suggesting responses and reactions based on the context of the conversation.
  • It can also offer prompts for setting up channels, organizing files, and collaborating effectively with team members.
  • In addition, Copilot can assist with language translation for international teams, making it easier to communicate and collaborate across different languages.

Microsoft Copilot is an exciting innovation that could help enhance productivity in the workplace by removing mundane tasks from people’s schedules. With its integration into Windows 11, experts expect the program to become even more powerful as users gain access to a wider variety of tools and features. Of course, as with any new technology, Microsoft Copilot will require users to get used to it. Still, the potential benefits make it worth exploring.
