Microsoft Copilot

The Scenario

You need to compile a performance review or a project post-mortem using data scattered across your Outlook, Excel, and Word documents.

Before & after

The old way

In the past, drafting a performance report or business proposal required manually aggregating data from emails and spreadsheets, taking 2–3 hours.

With AI

With GPT-5.6 in Copilot, you can prompt the AI to draft the entire document based on raw notes and data from across your 365 apps. This takes about 3–5 minutes of prompting and light editing.

The Prompt

Using the information from my recent emails with [PROJECT_NAME] and the data in [SPREADSHEET_NAME], draft a comprehensive project status report highlighted risks and next steps.

The integration of frontier models like GPT-5.6 into Microsoft 365 Copilot signifies a shift toward 'agentic' workflows where the AI performs complex multi-app tasks.
