Save time inside Microsoft 365 with these 10 Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat prompts I actually use. Copy, paste, and tweak them for your workflow.
In this video, you’ll learn how to use Copilot Chat in Work mode to:
- Break down unread emails into a prioritized task list (with due dates)
- Catch up on a person across email, chats, and files
- Plan your week by scanning Outlook + Teams + Calendar (and create a Weekly Action Plan doc)
- Find files fast across OneDrive + SharePoint (including a deeper Excel search)
- Summarize a file in one paragraph
- Compare two files and spot differences quickly
- Prep for tough meeting questions using a document you’re reviewing
- Use Microsoft’s Prompt Library and access your saved prompts
- Turn your best Copilot output into a reusable optimized prompt
Important note: Copilot Chat is free with Microsoft 365, but many of the most useful “Work mode” prompts require a paid Copilot license, depending on your organization’s setup.
