That's exactly right! Copilot's auto-complete functionality for prompts is a powerful tool for getting the most out of the AI assistant. Here's how it works:
Start with a basic prompt: You provide Copilot with a starting point for what you need. This could be a simple keyword or a short sentence describing your goal.
Copilot suggests completions: Based on your initial prompt and its understanding of your work context, Copilot offers suggestions to refine your prompt. These suggestions can be:
More specific: Adding details like file types, dates, or project names to narrow down the search. (e.g., "Search for 'Acme Inc Project'" becomes "Search for '.docx' files containing 'Acme Inc Proposal'")
Action-oriented: Turning your request into a clear instruction for Copilot. (e.g., "Summarize client report" becomes "Summarize the key findings from the latest 'Acme Inc Marketing Report'")
Contextually relevant: Providing options based on your recent activity or common tasks within your environment.
Benefits of Auto-complete:
Faster results: By making your prompts more specific, you get Copilot to generate the desired output quicker.
Improved accuracy: Refined prompts lead Copilot to a better understanding of your needs, leading to more accurate code suggestions or document summaries.
Idea generation: Copilot's suggestions can spark new ideas for how to use its capabilities and potentially unlock functionalities you weren't aware of.
