Most people aren’t getting consistent results from Copilot and not because it doesn’t work, but because they’re unsure what to ask.

In this practical, hands-on tutorial, I share the 8 Copilot prompts I use every week inside Microsoft 365 to save time, reduce noise, and focus on the work that actually matters.

These prompts work across both free Copilot and Microsoft 365 Copilot (licensed) experiences, and they cover real business scenarios including email drafting, Excel analysis, meeting catch-ups, document summaries, and project updates.

Rather than clever one-liners, these are structured, repeatable prompts you can use immediately.
