Microsoft Copilot

Copilot can drastically reduce PowerPoint creation time by generating decks from existing Word documents, suggesting relevant visuals, and formatting slides automatically. While proficiency varies, many users report noticeable time savings within a few weeks of consistent use, particularly for routine tasks like creating presentations from reports. Microsoft provides training resources to help users quickly master Copilot's features and maximize their return on investment.

Copilot can automatically generate summaries of Teams meetings, highlighting key discussion points, decisions made, and assigned action items. While it strives for accuracy, the quality of the summary depends on the clarity of the conversation; clear speakers and well-defined discussions yield the best results. It's best practice to review summaries and manually add or correct any missing information to ensure accuracy.

While Copilot is designed to integrate seamlessly with the latest versions of Microsoft 365, user experience within older or legacy apps may be clunky. Expect limited or no functionality within unsupported app versions. To maximize Copilot's capabilities, we recommend upgrading to the latest versions of Microsoft 365 applications.

Copilot Studio allows you to tailor Copilot by connecting it to your internal data sources, automating custom workflows, and building personalized experiences. While no-code and low-code options are available, effectively leveraging Copilot Studio typically requires some level of technical expertise, such as familiarity with data connectors, API integrations, and workflow automation concepts. Microsoft provides resources and documentation to help users of varying skill levels get started.
