Sync Your Work Context Across Multiple Apps with Work IQ
Catch up on project updates across files and chats instantly.
Leverage Copilot's 'Work IQ' by asking for summaries of specific projects across all your communication channels (email, chat, and files).
The Scenario
You are jumping into a meeting for a project you haven't looked at in two weeks. You need a fast briefing on what has changed without reading every single thread.
Before & after
You search through your 'Sent' folder, look for recent Teams chats, and check meeting notes to reconstruct the current status. This take 20–30 minutes of deep digging.
Copilot uses 'Work IQ' to scan your connected files, chats, and meetings to provide a summary in 1–2 minutes.
The Prompt
Summarize the emails and Teams chats I’ve received over the past [NUMBER] weeks regarding [PROJECT_NAME] and prioritize them based on urgency.
Copilot doesn't just look at text; it uses what Microsoft calls 'Work IQ'—signals from across your Microsoft 365 environment—to provide context-aware answers grounded in your real-time work data.
