Transition from simply asking questions to automating your workflow tasks.

Use Copilot to bridge the gap between information gathering and project execution by instructing it to extract and organize tasks.

The Scenario

You have just finished a brainstorming session and need to turn a messy wall of text or a long chat thread into a functional project plan.

Before & after

The old way

Reviewing a long chat history or meeting transcript to manually extract action items and deadlines usually takes 15–20 minutes.

With AI

With Copilot Tasks, you can convert a lengthy discussion or a series of research notes into a structured to-do list in about 2 minutes.

The Prompt

Based on our previous conversation regarding [PROJECT NAME], identify all identified action items and turn them into a clear task list with assigned owners and hypothesized deadlines. [PASTE_CONVERSATION_OR_NOTES_HERE]

Microsoft is evolving Copilot from just providing answers to helping users manage complex multi-step actions and project tasking.
