7 Copilot Functions to Boost your Workplace Productivity

In the past, if you wanted to write a letter, you had to do it with your own handwriting. Just a few years ago, you could simplify that task with office applications. But today, you don’t even have to bother writing, because artificial intelligence (AI) can do it for you.

For business professionals across Indonesia, where digital transformation is rapidly changing the workplace landscape, artificial intelligence has generated a genuine revolution in labor productivity. Thanks to AI, you can now quickly carry out processes that were once tedious and manual, allowing you to dedicate more time to strategic tasks in today’s competitive Indonesian market.

In this context, Microsoft Copilot is one of the most advanced AI tools you can use. In case you didn’t know, Copilot is an artificial intelligence solution that integrates with Microsoft 365 applications and transforms the way you work.

Below, we’ll present seven Copilot functions that will help you take your workplace productivity to the next level.

1. Automation of repetitive tasks

Copilot saves you work by allowing the automation of labor tasks. That way, the time you used to spend on boring and repetitive tasks can be directed to more productive activities.

Copilot can improve your workplace productivity by automating these functions:

• Organizing meetings: in Outlook, Copilot allows you to schedule meetings by analyzing email threads containing relevant information. This automatically generates an invitation with the title, agenda, and participants extracted from the email. You no longer have to search for details on your own.

• Generating email summaries and responses: managing long email chains used to be overwhelming. Fortunately, Copilot can summarize key points in Outlook and suggest responses to continue the conversation.

• Setting reminders and managing the calendar: one of Microsoft Copilot’s functions allows you to set reminders in Outlook through simple commands. It also recognizes patterns to schedule recurring reminders and creates task lists from notes in OneNote.

2. AI-assisted content generation

One of the main applications of artificial intelligence at work is the creation of written content, such as reports, emails, or minutes.

You should know that Copilot is integrated into various Microsoft applications like Word, which allows you to generate content automatically.

For example, if you have trouble writing a report, this AI can generate it based on other documents and even a phrase you specify. Thus, you don’t have to start from scratch, since you have a draft to start with.

Additionally, you can boost your productivity with AI by asking it to improve your texts. Did you write an email or presentation and worry that it has spelling errors? Instead of reviewing, you can ask Copilot to find and fix any inconsistencies.

3. Data analysis and real-time reports

Without a doubt, among the best functions of Microsoft Copilot are its capabilities to analyze large volumes of information, especially within the Excel application.

Copilot can perform predictive data analysis that allows you to detect trends and patterns. Thus, if you’re in an administrative or managerial role, you can gain valuable insights to make the best possible decisions.

For example, in Excel you’ll find a button to “analyze data with Copilot.” You just have to select your data and analyze it with AI to get reports with tables, trends, and summaries.

This artificial intelligence can also:

• Analyze textual data: if your company collects feedback and surveys, Copilot can summarize these texts and offer analysis to better understand written information.

• Generate complete reports: you can create a complete table, with formulas and headers, just by indicating to the AI what you need (for example, a budget or inventory table).

4. Improved team collaboration

Thanks to Copilot’s integration with Teams, you can enhance productivity in one of the most critical areas of any organization: team collaboration.

This AI optimizes meetings with the help of intelligent tools that facilitate communication. Among Microsoft Copilot’s functions in Teams are:

• Catch up when you’re late: if you join a meeting a little late, Copilot provides you with a summary of what has been discussed so far. Just open Copilot and review the summary on the side of the meeting window.

• Gather everything in Teams: Copilot searches for and uses information stored in documents, presentations, emails, calendar invitations, notes, and contacts. This ensures that the most important data is accessible in one place. You no longer have to search for data in long conversation threads.

• Have a more effective meeting: during the meeting, you can use Copilot options to summarize the points discussed, list action items, suggest follow-up questions, and even generate detailed notes.

5. Task organization and prioritization

One of the best tools for automating work tasks is Microsoft Planner integrated with Copilot.

Thanks to this powerful combination, you can organize tasks and prioritize your activities according to their importance, deadlines, and expected results.

For example, you can tell Copilot to generate a plan in Planner, and also to add tasks, objectives, and sections according to your instructions. It can create a complete, actionable, and realistic plan in just moments.

Likewise, this AI can help you:

• Identify upcoming actions to follow

• Break down large tasks into manageable steps

• Coordinate work among team members

• Monitor the progress of your plan

• Identify priorities and manage workloads by analyzing tasks assigned to each team member

6. Decision-making assistance

Copilot can improve your workplace productivity in executive roles, where you have the important task of making decisions that can define the future of the company.

This artificial intelligence offers specific tools to support the decision-making process:

• Data integration: Copilot can combine information from multiple sources into a single report, whether documents, presentations, emails, or spreadsheets.

• Natural language processing: you don’t need programming knowledge to improve your productivity with AI. You can interact with the system using everyday language.

• Scenario simulation: Copilot can model different scenarios based on historical and current data. That way, you can foresee potential outcomes and plan strategies accordingly.

7. Integration with the Microsoft 365 ecosystem

Copilot integrates efficiently with the most important Microsoft applications, which allows you to harness the power of artificial intelligence at work without resorting to additional software.

This integration can help you in different business tasks, ranging from task management and content creation to communication with other team members.

Some of the applications that include Microsoft Copilot’s functions are:
