10:35 AM: After a busy morning, it’s time to ensure I’m prepared for my meeting with Tom, Rebecca, and Mark. I ask Copilot,
“Prepare me for the ‘Copilot Update’ meeting. Provide me with the agenda, a list of any emails referencing the meeting, and any relevant information to the items on the agenda.”
In moments, Copilot delivers everything I need to walk into the meeting confidently. Once the meeting starts, I can give everyone my full attention, knowing that Copilot is transcribing everything that’s said. This allows me to stay fully engaged without having to split my focus between participating in the discussion and scrambling to take notes. Copilot can also suggest questions in real-time based on the conversation we’re having, helping me contribute more effectively to the discussion.
When the meeting wraps up, I use the recap feature to get specific meeting details, like action items or responsibilities, I simply ask,
“Copilot, create me a table showing all attendees, their job roles, action items, and any due dates.”
Sending a follow-up email to the attendees is just as effortless. With a quick prompt,
“Copilot, draft an email to the attendees of the ‘Copilot Update’ meeting summarising and advising on next steps,” Copilot prepares a professional email summarising the key points and outlining the next steps. All I need to do is give it a quick review and hit send.
1:05PM: I haven’t got time to catch up on all my unread Teams notifications.
“Copilot, summarise what I’ve missed on Teams, highlight any new tasks allocated to me, and list the most important information.”
In moments, I’m fully caught up without scrolling for hours. This is Copilot’s secret weapon. It helps me focus and avoid the stress of digital debt. It’s like having an all-knowing, multilingual PA keeping me on track. It even caught the birthday of one of our Irish partners and translated a birthday message into Gaelic for a personal touch.
2:25 PM: After a day full of back-to-back meetings, I switch gears to tackle other project work. Using Copilot in Word, I quickly draft a customer proposal. Leveraging a pre-created template, our service offering, and details from a recent call, what would have taken hours now takes just 2 minutes (10 including the small edits I make).
“Copilot, using the provided template, create a proposal for the customer’s needs. Include price comparisons in a table, highlight the support contract, and estimate the cost/timing for any outlined projects,” Copilot generates a polished proposal in minutes, saving me valuable time.
My day’s gone without a hitch. Copilot has helped me use my time more effectively, avoid distractions, enhance my knowledge and creative levels. I’m energised and feeling pretty invincible!
5:28 PM: There’s no reason Copilot can’t benefit my personal life too, right?
“Copilot, find a healthy recipe I can make for four people in less than 30 minutes. I have cheese, broccoli, rice, herbs, spices, and egg. I fancy something warm and with a crunch.”
I get a step-by-step recipe and even some extra flourishes. Links include further online recipes, suggestions for vegetarian options and food safety advice.
Copilot gives me knowledgeable answers, whether it’s something as simple as food recommendations or as complex as rocket science. I can make my decisions faster and get things done confidently.
“Please update me on anything I have missed in the past 24 hours. Organise this by emails, Teams chats, and outstanding tasks. Provide me a list of my meetings along with the attendees.”
