Microsoft Copilot is an AI-based feature integrated into Microsoft 365 applications, designed to improve productivity and simplify tasks. Here are some concrete examples of how Co-Pilot is used in different Microsoft applications.
Word
Assisted writing: Co-Pilot can write entire sections of text based on a brief or available data.
Example: writing an introduction to a report or rewording a paragraph to improve its clarity.
Content analysis: It can summarise long documents, highlight key points or provide an automatic table of contents.
Template creation: Create cover letters, contracts or proposals using predefined templates.
Excel
Data analysis: Co-Pilot can provide insights based on the data in a table, such as trends or anomalies.
Example: ‘What are the best performing products this year?’ or ‘Create a graph of monthly sales.’
Creation of complex formulas: It helps to generate suitable formulas, such as searches, conditional calculations or projections.
Example: ‘=IF(A1>100, “Success”, “Failure”)’.
Automation: Generate pivot tables or organise unstructured data.
PowerPoint
Presentation design: Co-Pilot can create a complete presentation from a simple summary or source document.
Example: ‘Create a presentation to present the financial results for Q3 2024.’
Visual enhancement: Suggestions for page layouts, transitions and colour choices for a professional design.
Visual summaries: Transform raw data into powerful graphs and charts.
Outlook
Writing emails: Co-Pilot can help you write emails based on instructions or automatically reply to messages.
Example: ‘Reply politely and suggest a meeting next week.’
Organisation: Summarise discussion threads or suggest actions from a complex exchange.
Meeting planning: Suggest compatible time slots or generate an agenda from exchanges.
Teams
Meeting minutes: Co-Pilot can summarise the key points and decisions made at meetings.

Task management: Identify the tasks mentioned and automatically assign them to team members.
Power Platform (Power BI, Power Automate, etc.)
Power BI: Co-Pilot generates interactive dashboards based on natural language queries.
Example: ‘Show me revenues by region for the last quarter.’
Power Automate: Create automated workflows by simply describing what you want to automate.
Example: ‘Create a flow to send an e-mail every time an order exceeds €500.’
