Prioritize Your Email Backlog by Urgency

Prioritize two weeks of communications based on urgency and deadlines.

Ask Copilot to review the last 14 days of emails and prioritize them by urgency to help you tackle your backlog efficiently.

Microsoft Copilot

The Scenario

You are starting your week after a short vacation or busy project phase and need a roadmap of your most critical pending communications.

Before & after

The old way

Manually reviewing two weeks of emails and chats to prioritize a to-do list involves scrolling through multiple threads, taking 45-60 minutes.

With AI

Copilot summarizes the last two weeks of interactions and suggests a priority list based on deadlines in 2-3 minutes.

The Prompt

Please summarize the emails I’ve received over the past two weeks and prioritize them based on urgency and upcoming deadlines. Tell me who I need to reply to first.

By leveraging Work IQ, Copilot can scan your history across emails and calendars to determine what is most urgent based on the context of your projects.
