Prioritize Your Inbox Fast with Urgency-Based Email Summaries
Let AI categorize your inbox by urgency and importance effortlessly.
Use Copilot to scan your Outlook inbox and create a prioritized summary of recent communications.
The Scenario
You have just returned from a short vacation or a long day of back-to-back meetings and need to quickly identify which messages require your immediate attention.
Before & after
Manually scrolling through dozens of unread emails to identify high-priority items usually takes 15–30 minutes of deep focus.
With Copilot, you can request an automated digest that categorizes emails by urgency. This takes about 1-2 minutes to generate and scan.
The Prompt
Please summarize the emails I’ve received over the past two weeks and prioritize them based on urgency.
This approach uses 'Work IQ' signals to understand your specific organizational context and relationships, ensuring the summary is relevant to your current projects.
