How to help generating a proposal with copilot?
Hi all, I want copilot to assist me, writing a proposal. The requirement is the following: 1) I have a pool of documents (example proposals that are quite similar to the one a want to create, some...
Hello Torsten,
I have not tried this myself (I am very new at CoPilot for M365 myself, received access just yesterday), but I would think that it should be able to do exactly what you are asking for here. The structure of your case is quite straight-forward.
Can you say something about the quality of the output when you prompt Copilot about this? Is it a case of not working at all, or is it simply not good enough / hallucinating?
Once I get more experienced with CoPilot myself, I will definitely try a similar case based on former emails or word documents.
Good luck!

Well, the main issue here is, that copilot can not address two fifferent data sources at once.
He first has to read my prompt.
Then he has to check the proposal template library for that specific paragraph I was asking for and after that he has to take in account the customer requirements document to rewrite that paragraph depending on the customer needs.
It is a context problem.

I'm also interested by this use case and trying to develop it.
Did you succeed to find a way to work?
On my side, it appears to be difficult to be able for copilot to work with to huge document.On my side, it appears to be difficult to be able for copilot to work with to huge document.
pascallambert - just on this, there are some limitations. In practice, I've found that it can max out at 12-20 pages for Word docs. But check out this link: Keep it short and sweet: a guide on the length of documents that you provide to Copilot - Microsoft Support
- Thanks for explaining the context problem!
I think this is an excellent case, and I am pretty sure that someone will find a way to solve it, or that Microsoft finds a way to develop the Copilot product to assist these kinds of cases.
