Surface Buried Tasks by Prioritizing Recent Email History
Scan the last 14 days to find missed priorities.
Ask Copilot to review and prioritize two weeks of email history to catch missed tasks.
Microsoft Copilot
The Scenario
It is Monday morning and you want to ensure no high-priority requests from the previous two weeks fell through the cracks while you were busy.
Before & after
The old way
Users manually search through sent and received folders for the last 14 days to ensure nothing was missed, taking about 20 minutes.
With AI
Copilot searches your history and prioritizes tasks in 1–2 minutes, creating a clear roadmap for your week.
The Prompt
Please summarize the emails I’ve received over the past two weeks and prioritize them based on urgency and required follow-up.
Copilot uses 'Work IQ' to scan across your emails, files, and chats. This ensures that the prioritization is based on the full context of your recent professional interactions.
