AI is one of the biggest buzzwords right now, and Microsoft Copilot is no exception. But while many businesses are excited about AI, we don’t think enough people are using the basics of Copilot to their advantage. It's built right into Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365, and the Power Platform—yet so many teams still aren't sure how to make the most of it.

We want to change that.

Through Copilot February, we're sharing real-world examples of how our own CRMKnowledge team uses Copilot in practical, easy-to-implement ways—both professionally and personally. This week, we’ll cover the fundamentals of Copilot, how it can help you, and how our Marketing and Leadership teams use it every day.

 

What is Microsoft CoPilot?

Microsoft CoPilot is an AI-powered assistant embedded within Microsoft applications like Word, Excel, Outlook, Teams, Dynamics 365, and Power Platform. It uses artificial intelligence to help users automate tasks, generate content, and analyse data more efficiently.

Think of it as your digital co-worker, ready to assist with:

• Drafting and summarising emails
• Creating reports and presentations
• Automating workflows
• Generating insights from CRM data
• Providing contextual recommendations based on your work

Copilot enhances productivity by reducing manual tasks and giving you more time to focus on strategic work. Whether you're in marketing, sales, operations, or IT, Copilot has a role to play in your daily tasks.

 

How Copilot Can Help You

1. Automating Repetitive Tasks

Tired of writing the same email responses over and over? CoPilot can draft professional responses in Outlook, suggest replies, and even summarise long email threads.

2. Enhancing Data Insights

For Dynamics 365 users, CoPilot can analyse customer data, suggest next-best actions, and generate real-time reports. Instead of manually sifting through records, you get actionable insights at a glance.

3. Content Creation

Marketers and content creators can use Copilot in Word or PowerPoint to generate outlines, draft content, and even refine messaging to fit different audiences.

4. Boosting Team Collaboration

In Teams, Copilot can summarise meetings, suggest action items, and track follow-ups—ensuring nothing gets lost in long conversations.

5. Speeding Up Development

For Power Platform users, Copilot assists with Power Automate and Power Apps by suggesting workflows, generating formulas, and simplifying app development.
