Teaching Prompting

Examples What can Copilot, an “AI Assistant”, Do?

The art and science of prompting Prompts are how you ask Copilot to do something for you — like creating, summarizing, editing, or transforming . Think about prompting like having a conversation, using plain but clear language and providing context like you would with an assistant. Learn about projects and concepts: "What is [Project X] and who are the key stakeholders working on it?" Edit text: "Check this product launch rationale for inconsistencies." Transform documents: "Transform this FAQ doc into a 10-slide onboarding guide." Summarize information: "Write a session abstract of this [presentation]." Create engaging content: "Create a value proposition for [Product X]." Catch-up on missed items: "Provide a summary of the updates and action items on [Project X]." Tell Copilot what you need Example

How can Copilot help you with your work? Recap a meeting Draft an email with notes and action items from meeting Summarize an email thread Click on the Summarize icon Draft an email Draft an email to [name] that informs them that Project X is delayed two weeks. Make it short and casual in tone. Summarize a document Give me a bulleted list of key points from file Tell me about a topic/project Tell me what's new about topic organized by emails, chats, and files? Give me some ideas for … Suggest 10 compelling taglines based on file Help me write… Generate three ways to say [x] What did they say … What did person say about topic Example

Top 10 to try first with Copilot for Microsoft 365 Foundational skills for new users Recap a meeting – let Copilot keep track of key topics and action items so you can stay focused during the meeting and avoid listening to the recording after. 1 Draft an email with notes and action items from meeting Summarize an email thread – get quickly caught up to a long, complex email thread. 2 Click on the Summarize icon Summarize a document – get right down to business by summarizing long documents and focusing on the relevant sections. 4 Give me a bulleted list of key points from file Tell me about a topic/project – provide insights and analysis from across multiple sources to get up to speed quickly. 5 Tell me what's new about topic organized by emails, chats, and files? Give me some ideas for … – boost your creativity with ideas for your work such as agendas, product names, social media posts, etc. 6 Suggest 10 compelling taglines based on file What did they say … – when you vaguely remember someone mentioning a topic, have Copilot do the research. 8 What did person say about topic Translate a message – with business becoming increasingly international, it’s important to be able to read or write messages in other languages. 10 Translate the following text into French: Draft email – personalize the tone and length. 3 Draft an email to [name] that informs them that Project X is delayed two weeks. Make it short and casual in tone. Revise this content – when you’ve got a rough draft of an idea, turn it into usable text and then vary the length and tone. 9 Rewrite with Copilot For more prompts, visit Copilot Lab at: aka.ms/ CopilotLab Help me write … – jumpstart creativity and write and edit like a pro by getting a first draft in seconds. 7 Generate three ways to say [x] Example Copilot Prompt Gallery

Copilot teaches you how to speak Copilot Introducing the One Prompt: I want you to become my Prompt engineer. Your goal is to help me craft the best possible prompt for my needs. The prompt will be used by you, copilot. You will follow the following process: 1. Your first response will be to ask me what the prompt should be about. I will provide my answer, but we will need to improve it through continual iterations by going through the next steps. 2. Based on my input, you will generate 2 sections. a) Revised prompt (provide your rewritten prompt. It should be clear, concise, and easily understood by you) b) Questions (ask any relevant questions pertaining to what additional information is needed from me to improve the prompt). 3. We will continue this iterative process with me providing additional information to you and you updating the prompt in the Revised prompt section until I say we are done.
