Microsoft Copilot is a comprehensive AI assistant that can boost your company’s productivity, save you time, and let you focus on what really matters. And one of the first and most obvious ways it can do this is by doing what LLM chatbots first became famous for: producing high-quality, apparently human-authored, writing.
In offices, writing is commonplace. It sometimes seems like there’s an infinite number of documents that need to be handled: emails, itineraries, reports, presentations, meeting notes, etc.
Give Copilot the boring stuff…
Much of this material is either very formulaic in structure or requires little thought; and in these cases, Copilot can be a lifesaver:
- It can easily clean up meeting notes, correcting grammar, spelling, and syntax errors.
- It can compose basic email answers along the lines of “that sounds great – I’ll look over your proposal and get back to you by EOP at the latest,”
- Give it the information it needs and draft a quick outline, and it can easily write you a first draft of your next report.
These are just a few examples of the ways in which Copilot can help you streamline and automate formulaic writing at work. But be aware that you might need to edit some of Copilot’s output – it’s much better to view it as a time-saving assistant than a replacement for human oversight.
Copilot the creative partner
Moving on to more creative writing, Copilot is equally useful. Virtually any kind of creative writing you can imagine, it can do:
- It can generate ideas for ads,
- It can compose your social media posts,
- It can come up with product names,
- And it even create blogs on subjects of your choosing.
It’s easy to begin:
Just head over to Copilot and choose between three modes (creative, balanced, or precise).
After that, type your question into the “ask me anything” form. Hit the return button and watch the magic happen.
The best approach to figure out how to use Copilot for text production is just to get in and play about. It’s simple to use, provides helpful suggestions for follow-up questions, and it’s easy to tell how good the results are – just give them a read yourself.Copilot has a huge amount to offer businesses of all sizes – both as a writer, and in other contexts.
