Copilot in Outlook

Four email jobs, practiced on your own inbox. Everyone tries each prompt on a real message of their own, then leaves with more prompts to keep going.

Four email jobs

job one

Prioritize a crowded inbox

Work the inbox by importance instead of arrival order.

job two

Summarize a long thread

Catch up on a long exchange in seconds, not half an hour.

job three

Draft and respond

Start from Copilot's first draft and spend the effort on the message.

job four

Schedule around busy calendars

Find a meeting time without checking every calendar by hand.

Same moves, every job

so the pattern sticks, not just the prompts
  1. 1Start from real emailParticipants work in their own inbox. For most jobs they pick a real, non-sensitive message, and if nothing suitable turns up, a prompt asks Copilot to find one.
  2. 2Run a worked promptThey open Copilot in Outlook and try a full example prompt, with the steps on screen.
  3. 3Take it furtherEach job closes with a list of more prompts to try on the same task.
before the practice

Two quick checks so everyone knows what they have: which Copilot license, and which version of Outlook.
