Hi, Insiders! We’re Jean Coburn, a Senior Content Program Manager on the Microsoft Copilot Prompt Gallery team, Jeff Conrad, a Principal Content Experience Manager on the Microsoft Copilot Gallery team, and Kayla Patterson, a Product Marketing Manager on the Copilot team. We’re excited to share 21 new Copilot prompts for neuroinclusion that can help improve communication across teams, break down complex information to be more digestible, and help you network and share ideas with confidence.

Boost communication with Microsoft Copilot prompts for neuroinclusion

AI is a wonderful tool for connecting people and leveling the playing field. And it’s a great tool for a neurodivergent population.

Neurodivergence is a different way of thinking, processing, and experiencing the world, and it includes conditions such as dyslexia, ADHD, and autism. Neurodivergent employees represent roughly 20% of today’s workforce – however, these prompts are helpful for everyone. Whether you’d like to understand the subtext of an email, find points of agreement in a Teams chat, or plan for in-person meetings and social events, Copilot can assist. Regaining your focus and managing tasks just got easier!

The Microsoft Copilot Prompt Gallery is a great starting point for leveraging Copilot at work, with a comprehensive library of premade prompts for various situations and the ability to search for helpful prompts by app, task, or job type. We’ve recently added a set of prompts focused specifically on promoting neurodiversity, and we’d love for you to try them out!

How it works

  1. Click a link in the prompt list below to view a prompt in the Microsoft Copilot Prompt Gallery.
  2. Select the Copy icon to copy the full prompt text, then paste the prompt into the Copilot box in the app and edit it for your own specific needs. Or select the Try in button, if available, to open the appropriate app (alternately, you can open a compatible app from the Works in list).
  3. Select Send or Generate.

NOTE: Share your favorite prompts with your colleagues using the Share prompt with others button in the gallery!
