Who it's for
- Professionals at companies already using Office and Teams who want to draft and organize content directly inside open Word or Excel files without manual uploads.
- People who join Teams meetings late or miss them entirely and need a clear summary of key decisions and assigned action items.
- Managers with an overflowing inbox who want to summarize long Outlook email threads and get quick draft replies.
Drawbacks
- Access to internal company files requires a paid license at $30/month per user, which is a different product from the free Copilot chat.
- It requires an administrator to deploy it to your organization's account, making it hard for an individual to start on their own.
- Excel formula calculations and PowerPoint design layouts often still need manual adjustments.
Getting started
- Ask your administrator to verify that a license has been assigned to your corporate account.
- Open a document in Word, click the Copilot icon, and prompt it: 'Summarize this report into one page.'
- Turn on meeting recap in a Teams meeting, then review the decisions and action items after it ends.
- Open a long thread in Outlook to view a summary, and choose a tone to draft your reply.
- Ask Copilot chat to locate company files, such as: 'Where are last week's sales figures?'
