Copilot for Microsoft 365: New Ways of Working!

4 min read

Copilot is now part of the apps you use every day. It works alongside you to help out with tedious or repetitive tasks so you can get your most important work done faster and easier.

Catch up on Team meetings

Copilot can help get you up to speed, fast!

Arrive at a meeting that’s already started and ask Copilot to ‘Give me a recap of the meeting so far.’ You can also ask (for example), ‘ Have I been mentioned in this meeting?’ or ‘Has anyone asked about [x project]?’

Copilot helps you catch up without skipping a beat when you’re running behind. Watch to learn how and try it in Teams.

Draft word documents

With Copilot, you can jumpstart the creative process so you never start with a blank slate again. Copilot gives you a first draft to edit and iterate on—saving hours in writing, sourcing, and editing time.

Just open Copilot in Word and enter a prompt describing the document you’d like to create, such as ‘Write me an 800-word blog on [x topic]’ or ‘Draft a proposal for [new business partner]’. You can also use the attachment icon to let Copilot access existing documents for relevant information.

Ask Copilot to refine the language, expand or reduce points and sections, or check for any inconsistencies. Watch to learn how and try it in Word.

Quickly summarise a long email thread in Outlook.

Sifting through email chains for specific key points can take up valuable time—using Copilot, it’s done in seconds.

Open the email thread you’d like to use and click ‘Summary by Copilot’ near the top menu. Copilot will summarise whatever you need—so you don’t have to dig for what’s important. You can ask Copilot to turn it into bulleted lists, email drafts, and more. Watch to learn how and try it in Outlook.

Transform a document into a PowerPoint presentation.

Go from a basic document to a compelling presentation in seconds. Copilot can transform existing written documents into slide decks with speaker notes and sources or start a new presentation from a simple prompt or outline.

To transform a written document, open Copilot in PowerPoint and select the prompt guide. You’ll see an option to ‘Create from a file…’. Select it, find the file you’d like to build into a deck, and hit send. After a few moments, Copilot will generate a brand new slideshow, complete with eye-catching imagery and colour palettes.

Are you not happy with the colour or font? Just ask Copilot to ‘Make all the headings blue’ or ‘Change the font of the body copy to Times New Roman’. You can even add or switch out images just by asking. Watch to learn how, and try it on PowerPoint.

Collate information and insights across your content using Microsoft Copilot.

You no longer have to dig through documents and communications to find the necessary information.

Copilot combs across your entire universe of data—all your emails, meetings, chats, documents, and more, plus the web—to do the heavy lifting for you. Find whatever you need in your files (even files you forgot existed), connect the dots across all your content, and even integrate with the apps you use to run your business.

Find out how Microsoft Copilot can help by entering a prompt like, ‘Explain the key differences between [product x] and [product y]’, or ‘Teach me about [x concept] in a way that a non-technical person could understand.’

Then use follow-up prompts to iterate, refine, and more. Want to learn more about prompts? Visit the Copilot Lab, where Microsoft has collected a great set of prompts for you to try and share.

We cannot recommend Penntech highly enough for their continuous IT support, we have worked with them for years and there is truly nothing that they cannot solve or help with. Their vast amount of knowledge and speed in response is second to none.

We have been using Penntech for around 6 years now and have had a great experience. Every member of the team we interreact with is friendly and helpful and our queries are always answered quickly.

I've known Lewis since working with him at CIFF in 2011. More recently, he has built-up an excellent business which supports a number of my past and present clients. He also supports my business. Lewis is first rate and equally importantly, he has built a good team around him to provide quality, responsive IT support. I can't recommend Penntech highly enough.

Penntech have worked with us for a number of years now and have always gone above and beyond to provide an efficient professional service in every circumstance. Their friendly responsive approach is refreshing and nothing is too big or too small to assist with.

Friendly and approachable, but also excellent technically. As a barristers chambers we have industry-specific data protection requirements. Penntech showed in-depth knowledge about the interaction between these requirements and technical IT aspects.

Penntech helped us migrate and merge our inbox's for our small restaurant and bar group. They were super efficient and got everything done within 24 hours. I highly recommend them and will be using them again.

Heartstyles have worked with Penntech for 3 years. The initial brief to sort out our global IT requirements. Penntech have always been refreshing clear in their comms, avoiding IT gobbledygook. No job has been too small to support and they always deliver above and beyond what was required and within budget. They clearly know what they’re doing and the level of service is always outstanding

Lewis and the team at Penntech are seen very much as an extension of our business. They are professional, technically brilliant, don't over complicate things, very friendly and the staff feel comfortable dealing with them on a daily basis. They have a good understanding of our needs and go above and beyond to ensure we can get on with our day to day business, safe in the knowledge that if anything goes wrong technically that Penntech will resolve it efficiently.
