Boost Productivity - Use Copilot for Document Creation

In business, time is a valuable resource. Every minute spent wrestling with formatting, struggling to articulate ideas, or waiting for feedback from colleagues is a minute lost. Inefficient document creation processes can cost your business time, money, and missed opportunities. But there's a solution. Learn how to use Copilot, the AI-powered tool that's transforming how businesses create documents.

Get to Know Copilot, Your AI Writing Partner

Imagine having a writing partner who never tires, always has ideas, and constantly improves your work. That's Copilot, an intelligent collaborator built into Microsoft 365, that takes your document creation to the next level.

What Does Copilot Do?

Copilot acts as a writing professional by your side, suggesting words, creating drafts, and even transforming your existing writing to make it better. If you need help getting started, Copilot can quickly generate a draft or outline, saving you valuable time.

When you have trouble explaining a complex concept, Copilot can suggest alternative wording or rephrase sentences to enhance clarity. If you face a last-minute presentation deadline, Copilot can help you build it from scratch, complete with engaging visuals. The best part is that Copilot learns your writing style over time, becoming even more helpful as you use it.

How Does Copilot Work?

Copilot uses artificial intelligence (AI) to understand your intent and context. It goes beyond simply regurgitating pre-written text and provides relevant and personalised suggestions based on your needs.

Think of it as a friend who helps you brainstorm, checks your spelling and grammar, and gives you writing tips, all in one place. Because it's already part of the Microsoft 365 apps you use, there's no need to learn anything new or switch between different programs.

Why Should Your Business Use Copilot?

Good communication is important for any business. Whether you're trying to convince someone to buy your product, writing a clear email, or giving a memorable presentation, the quality of your writing matters.

Copilot helps your team to produce good writing quickly and easily, so they have more time to focus on other important work. By making writing easier, Copilot helps everyone work better together, get more done, and improve their business.

How to Use Copilot for Document Creation in Microsoft 365

Ready to welcome Copilot to your team? Getting started is simple. It's already integrated into your Microsoft 365 apps, so you won’t need extra downloads.

Activate Copilot

To start using Copilot, open a Microsoft 365 app like Word or PowerPoint. Look for the Copilot button on the ribbon or sidebar and click it. If you don't see it, check your Microsoft 365 settings to activate it.

Show Copilot the Ropes

The more you use Copilot, the better it understands what you like and gives helpful suggestions. Start by giving Copilot clear instructions, such as "Write an introduction for a blog post about [topic]" or "Summarise this article in three sentences." Tell Copilot what you like and dislike so it can adjust its responses.

Make Copilot Your Best Teammate

Follow these tips to maximise the benefits of Copilot:

  • Clear instructions help Copilot understand your needs and provide better results.
  • Copilot has many features, so try them all and see what works best for your business.
  • Use Copilot with other tools you use, like your calendar or project management software.

With a little practice, Copilot will quickly become a part of your team, helping you create documents faster and more effectively.
