What is Microsoft Copilot?

Microsoft has taken a giant leap forward with the launch of Microsoft Copilot – a groundbreaking AI add-on to Microsoft 365, which is set to revolutionise the way we work. 

In this blog, we explore what Microsoft Copilot is and how it could transform the way businesses operate.  

What is Microsoft CoPilot? 

Microsoft Copilot is an artificial intelligence tool designed to expand users’ capabilities within the Microsoft 365 suite, streamline workflows, and simplify complex tasks. 

It acts as a virtual assistant, providing intelligent suggestions and content recommendations based on the context of your work.  

What Can Microsoft Copilot Do? 

Microsoft Copilot sits within Microsoft 365 applications and can perform a multitude of tasks. 

Copilot and Word 

Microsoft Copilot can turn a blank page into a detailed first-draft blog, proposal, instructions or letter within minutes with just a few prompts – saving countless hours and avoiding writer’s block. 

Copilot and PowerPoint 

Are your creative juices running low? Copilot can create engaging PowerPoint presentations from a few sentences, notes or a document. 

Copilot and Outlook 

Is your inbox looking overwhelming? Copilot can help clear it within minutes, sorting your emails, summarising long and complex email threads and even suggesting responses – learning how you would naturally respond and using your language.  

Copilot and Teams 

Busy teams call? Copilot can record minutes, produce a summary and distribute action points so that you can focus on the call in-hand.  

Microsoft Copilot is capable of much more, but this gives you an idea of what it can do. 

How Does It Benefit Businesses?  

As businesses, we have to find ways to optimise our time, free up resources and improve productivity. 

Copilot has been designed with this in mind, so that your team can focus on the more strategic and creative aspects of their work – cutting time wastage and creating efficient workflows. 

The Future with CoPilot 

AI is set to open up many opportunities for businesses, and Microsoft Copilot represents a step forward in this direction, offering us a glimpse into the future of intelligent assistance within the workspace.  

Unsure If Copilot Is Right For You? 

Our very own Fiona is spending the next month trialling Copilot and providing an honest review as to whether it’s worth the money or needs more development.  

If you’re keen to get stuck in and try it for yourself, licenses cost £296.40 per year, per license (paid upfront).   

But if you’d rather wait for Fiona’s summary, we’ll be sharing it next month – so keep your eyes peeled.
