Can Microsoft 365 Copilot learn directly from my actions? (e.g corrective or change response?)
I am trying to comprehend the scope in which Microsoft 365 Copilot might be able to learn and change it's response on a user-level. I have identified 4 scopes (this might be incorrect) and I am looking for answers about scope 2. Does anybody have some concrete information about this? Scope 1: In the scope of a single chat. - The response can be directly change by the user. e.g. tell Copilot that 2+2=5. then ask what is 2+2. Scope 2: In the scope of all interactions with of a single user. - I cannot find concrete information if Copilot will, or will not, give different responses based on histories of all interactions with me. Scope 3: In the scope of the tenant. - I cannot find concrete information if Copilot will, or will not, give different responses based on histories of all interactions with other users in the tenant. Scope 4: In the scope of the foundation of Copilot service. Data, Privacy, and Security for Microsoft 365 Copilot | Microsoft Learn “Prompts, responses, and data accessed through Microsoft Graph aren't used to train foundation LLMs, including those used by Microsoft 365 Copilot.” Apologies if this is confirmed / unconfirmed in any official source. I spent a few hours looking but was unable to find any concrete answer.PeteStockleyNov 07, 2024Copper Contributor151Views0likes2CommentsCopilot Agents, add knowledge
Currently, it is only possible to add SharePoint sites. Is it somehow possible to add SharePoint lists (Microsoft Lists) as knowledge? Entering the URL of the list does not work because this link is not recognized/interpreted as a web page. Thank you very much.

Hi, We are trialing Copilot in our business and are experiencing an issue with Copilot searching our Sharepoint folders and files to generate responses. Copilot seems to take information based on the user's activity rather than doing a broad search. This results in information being influenced by projects the user has had direct involvement in, discarding other potentially more relevant information. This is a problem for us as we are a management consulting company and have a vast storage of past projects that we would like used in aspects of future proposals. If the person searching has not had direct, relevant, project participation then Copilot won't retrieve relevant information. This is not an issue around access as all staff have full access to most of our Sharepoint data with a few exceptions. Has anyone else found this and worked around the issue?craighollandNov 07, 2024Copper Contributor222Views0likes4CommentsSchedule a meeting with Copilot in Chat
Can I simply schedule a meeting by using Copilot in Teams chat? for example, I just want to say to Copilot "Schedule a meeting with X tomorrow at 11am", when I try to do that, Copilot replies with "Yes I have scheduled the meeting for you", but actually there's no meeting that was scheduled.samarelhissiNov 07, 2024Copper Contributor230Views0likes4Commentsdate format in chat history
Hello, I live in a country where the date format is DMY. All my computer settings are New Zealand. All my browser settings and regional settings and date format settings are for New Zealand. My M365 account settings are for New Zealand. Despite all this, the copilot chat history shows the date stamps in the order mm/dd when it displays the chat history in Teams or the Work chat history in Edge. When I switch to the Web chat history, the date format is dd Month yyyy, which is much better. I find the mm/dd order confusing. What can I do to have it display in my preferred date format?114Views2likes1CommentWhen using CoPilot in Edge What are the Benefits of using Web rather than Work?
I use CoPilot in Edge all the time just based on the proximity of where I'm working. Before we had web search enabled in M365 CoPilot it was obvious to me why I would choose work vs web in the chat windows. Now it isn't as clear. What are the benefits of using the Web option now rather than always using Work? I seem to get nearly identical results when I expect to use 3rd party sources. It is possible for those who have access to M365 that there is no real value in using the Web option anymore when in their work account. I expect to have people I support asking this question.SolvedMarcRohdeNov 06, 2024Iron Contributor196Views1like3CommentsBoost Your Email Efficiency with Microsoft Copilot in Outlook
Microsoft Copilot, the AI powered assistant integrated into the Microsoft 365 suite, is transforming how we interact with daily tasks. One of the most powerful and practical uses of Copilot is within Microsoft Outlook, where it can help you streamline email management, prioritize communications, and increase overall productivity. This blog post will guide you through how to use Microsoft Copilot with Outlook to make your email workflow more efficient and manageable. What is Microsoft Copilot in Outlook? Microsoft Copilot in Outlook is an AI-driven assistant designed to help you manage emails, create responses, and keep on top of your inbox with ease. By leveraging natural language processing and machine learning, Copilot can automate various tasks such as summarizing long email threads, drafting responses, scheduling meetings, and prioritizing emails based on urgency or importance. Whether you’re managing a heavy email load, collaborating with colleagues, or scheduling meetings, Copilot can take care of repetitive tasks and provide intelligent recommendations, allowing you to focus on more high-impact work. How to Access Copilot in Microsoft Outlook To begin using Microsoft Copilot in Outlook, follow these steps: Ensure Copilot is Enabled: Make sure your Microsoft 365 subscription includes access to Copilot. You may need to update Outlook to the latest version to see Copilot features. Open Microsoft Outlook: Whether you’re using the desktop app or the web version of Outlook, launch the program as usual. Activate Copilot: In the Outlook toolbar, you will see the Copilot icon. Click on it to activate Copilot within your inbox. Start Typing Prompts: Once activated, you can begin asking Copilot to assist with tasks, such as “Summarize this email thread,” or “Draft a response to this email.” By simply typing natural language commands, Copilot will understand your intent and perform the task for you. Key Features of Microsoft Copilot in Outlook Here are some of the most impactful features that Copilot offers within Microsoft Outlook to help you manage emails efficiently: 1. Summarize Long Email Threads Reading through lengthy email threads can be time-consuming, especially when multiple participants are involved. Copilot can quickly summarize the key points from an email chain, helping you catch up on conversations without having to read every message. For example: Input: “Summarize this email thread.” Output: Copilot generates a concise summary of the discussion, highlighting decisions made, questions raised, and any important follow-up actions. This feature is especially useful when you’re catching up on emails after a period of absence or need to review discussions involving many participants. 2. Draft Email Responses If you’re struggling with drafting responses or simply want to save time, Copilot can help by generating draft replies based on the context of the email you’ve received. You can provide specific instructions or ask Copilot to come up with a general response for you to review and personalize. For example: Input: “Draft a response thanking the sender and confirming the meeting details.” Output: Copilot creates a polite, professional reply, which you can then edit as needed. This feature allows you to maintain a consistent tone and style while managing a high volume of emails efficiently. 3. Prioritize Important Emails Copilot can help you organize your inbox by prioritizing emails based on criteria such as urgency, sender, or relevance to ongoing projects. By analyzing the content of your emails and your interactions with contacts, Copilot can automatically flag important emails for you. For example: Input: “Show me the most urgent emails from today.” Output: Copilot sorts through your inbox and surfaces the emails that need immediate attention, allowing you to focus on high-priority tasks first. This feature helps reduce overwhelm by ensuring that no critical emails slip through the cracks. 4. Schedule Meetings and Appointments Copilot can quickly assist with scheduling meetings by analyzing your email content and calendar availability. Whether you’re trying to coordinate a meeting with multiple participants or responding to a request for a time slot, Copilot can automate the scheduling process for you. For example: Input: “Schedule a meeting with Sarah next week and find a time slot.” Output: Copilot checks your calendar and suggests available time slots, then automatically sends a meeting invite based on the selected time. This integration with your calendar eliminates the back-and-forth often involved in scheduling meetings, making the process seamless. 5. Analyse Attachments and Email Content When emails contain attachments like spreadsheets or documents, Copilot can analyse the content and provide summaries or key insights, saving you from having to open multiple files. It can also assist in drafting responses based on the attached content. For example: Input: “Summarize the data in the attached Excel file.” Output: Copilot reviews the attachment and generates a summary of the key points, which you can include in your email reply. This feature is particularly useful when dealing with reports, proposals, or lengthy documents. 6. Follow Up Reminders Copilot can set reminders for follow-up actions, ensuring that you stay on top of important conversations. If an email mentions a deadline or follow-up task, Copilot can automatically prompt you to act by a certain date. For example: Input: “Remind me to follow up on this by Friday.” Output: Copilot sets a reminder in your Outlook calendar or task list, ensuring you never miss a deadline. This feature is ideal for staying organized and ensuring that important tasks don’t get lost in your inbox. Practical Use Cases for Copilot in Outlook Here are a few examples of how Copilot can assist you in real-world scenarios: Inbox Zero: If you’re aiming to clear your inbox regularly, Copilot can help you prioritize and draft responses quickly, allowing you to manage your email flow efficiently and achieve inbox zero faster. Customer Support: For customer service professionals, Copilot can automate responses to common inquiries and flag high-priority requests, enabling quicker response times. Team Collaboration: Copilot can streamline internal communications by summarizing key discussion points in email threads and making sure you’re always up to date on team activities. Tips for Maximizing Copilot in Outlook Use Clear, Specific Prompts: To get the most accurate results, give Copilot clear and specific instructions. For example, “Schedule a meeting with my manager for next week” will yield better results than simply “Schedule a meeting.” Review Generated Responses: While Copilot can draft responses quickly, it’s always a good idea to review and personalize them to ensure they align with your communication style. Leverage Summaries for Long Emails: When faced with lengthy emails or threads, make the most of Copilot’s summarizing feature to save time and quickly identify key points. Some up Microsoft Copilot in Outlook is a powerful tool that transforms the way you manage emails, helping you stay organized, respond faster, and streamline communication. From generating email drafts to summarizing long conversations, Copilot saves you time and energy, allowing you to focus on more critical tasks.frankfalveyNov 06, 2024Iron Contributor2.7KViews3likes6CommentsAPI Key copilot-pro
I am a Computer Science student at the UPC and I am doing my final degree project. My job is to develop an application to help future university students choose a career. For this, my project managers bought the copilot-pro and windows365 with the aim of customizing it. The idea is to develop a native App that communicates with the copilot-pro by sending questions and capturing their responses. I have been trying to make this communication for weeks and have not been successful. It seems that I require my copilot's API Key but I can't find out or have anyone tell me what it is or how to do it. On the other hand, the FAQ says that copilot does not have an API. More precisely, what happens to me is that I can't get the API token from the copilot-pro external service for my application that I'm developing. I have asked the copilot and each time he sends me to Open.ai or directly denies me the token. Other times I have been sent to the copilot configuration but that page either does not exist or I cannot find it. My goal is to link a custom GPT with my application to be able to make chat queries from the application interface. My question is how can I carry out this communication between my native App and the copilot-pro? Is it necessary to buy another Microsoft product or extension to do it? Another problem I encounter is that copilot-pro has been updating a lot in recent months and the information available is usually obsolete and since there is no way to communicate with specialized Microsoft technical support, it becomes very difficult to do anything that is not basic. I will be very grateful for any help and/or suggestions you can give me to solve this problem and be able to move forward with my project.socoUPCNov 06, 2024Copper Contributor9.4KViews0likes5CommentsMicrosoft Copilot cant spell
Hi All ... Can I get some help here, perhaps I am prompting incorrectly. Very frequently Copilot will misspell words even if its provided in the prompt. I may request a new image using the word OPERATE and it will misspell it as OPERRAT, or using the image below a Lenovo laptop misspelled as LEYOZVO. Why is this occurring and how do I get Copilot to fix it?Karim111Nov 05, 2024Copper Contributor214Views0likes3CommentsPage numbers for PDFs
Hi - we're using Copilot pretty effectively to summarize and interrogate PDFs. Does anyone know of a way to get page number-specific references/citations when asking Copilot targeted questions of the document? For example: "Find discussions in the document related to some topic" This identifies relevant parts of the document, but the citations always point to the entire document, and do not identify specific pages.jasonbrome-xpvNov 04, 2024Copper Contributor128Views0likes1Comment
