The Scenario
You return from a vacation or a long weekend to find over 100 unread emails. You need to quickly identify which matters require immediate attention without reading every thread.
Before & after
The old way
Manually scanning through dozens of unread emails and manually sorting them by importance takes about 30–45 minutes each morning.
With AI
Using Copilot, you get an organized summary in a table format and a prioritized list based on urgency. This takes 1–2 minutes.
The Prompt
You are my email analyst. Review all unread emails in my Outlook inbox and summarize each one in a structured table. Please prioritize them based on urgency over the past [NUMBER] weeks.
Use Copilot for Microsoft 365 to act as your 'Email Analyst' to clear your inbox efficiently.
