Overview of Copilot solutions and Key Benefits
Copilot isn’t one-size-fits-all. Each solution addresses different organizational needs. Here’s what they do—and why they matter. Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat is a conversational experience on web and mobile that delivers quick, context-aware answers from organizational data. It provides quick, context-aware answers from organizational data, improving responsiveness across departments while supporting mobile work scenarios. Microsoft 365 Copilot is an AI assistant built into Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Teams. It accelerates document creation, data analysis, and presentations and helps you catch up on meetings and messages. Copilot uses the context you already have in Microsoft 365—files, emails, chats, and calendars—through Microsoft Graph and respects the same permissions, security, and compliance your organization relies on. Microsoft Copilot Studio is a platform for extensibility and customization. It lets you build custom copilots and extend existing ones without writing code. Copilot Studio allows businesses to tailor AI to unique workflows without heavy development investment, accelerating innovation. Key benefits for organizations Copilot delivers three core benefits that impact the entire organization: Benefit How benefit achieved Example scenario Boost productivity by automating repetitive tasks. Copilot automates repetitive tasks and accelerates content creation across teams. A marketing team might use Copilot in Word to draft campaign briefs based on brand guidelines, reducing turnaround time from days to hours. Improve decision quality with data-driven insights. Copilot provides fast, data-driven insights, enabling better decisions at every level. An operations team might use Copilot in Excel to analyze supply chain data and identify cost-saving opportunities before quarterly reviews. Strengthen governance with enterprise-grade compliance. Copilot respects enterprise security and compliance standards, ensuring sensitive data stays protected. When legal teams draft contracts, Copilot uses only authorized organizational data through Microsoft Graph, maintaining compliance with internal policies and regulatory requirements.I want to turn off or hide the draft with copilot dingbat that follows my cursor around in MS Word.
I have seen a few articles on this website, and I know it's not possible but I'm going to ask anyway. For reference this is what I'm referring to: It's more I find the little thing following me around on my screen to be annoying and distracting, I've managed to hide or disable anything related to copilot on my system except this little dingbat. When a new document is open you get a little message that says "Select the icon or press Alt + i to draft with copilot" It would be nice if I could hide that as well, yes copilot is a *feature*, and I don't care about it. I also want to hide the paste with copilot and just used the local paste options that were built into previous versions of word. I suspect that there is a copilot dingbat that is stored somewhere on my system, possibly in a font, and as I have already made a few detrimental modifications to my operating system registry, I'm not wary of messing up my computer any more than it could be. The only saving grace I have at the moment is there is an issue with my account, so any accidental triggering of the feature causes it to crap out. (So long as I don't accidentally press the 'fix account" button) I know that if it was easy to turn off there would be a button for it, I know Microsoft probably wants us to use this feature because it means more data for them to collect, an I'm disappointed in the loss of user agency that's resulted from this rollout, and there's a spike in animosity towards AI in general.
How can I permanently remove the irritating copilot icon from my word document
How do I get rid of this from the documents I create? I have copilot switched off in preferences and I have it deleted from my menu bar and yet, I just can't get rid of this icon/text? How do I just get a normal word document? I noticed that my subscription sneakily went up to £105 per year from £80 per year and the only way to revert back to my old subscription was to cancel it. So, I don't have copilot switched on, nor am I or will I pay for it but the copilot prompt just won't disappear. Any ideas would be welcome... thanks
Microsoft copilot stops while giving a response.
Why is this happening? Is there a solution for this? It just stops while giving response. And it has happened several times. And you can't even give prompt to continue from there. You should restart it. Does anyone have a solution for this? and I have restarted and reinstalled it 1000 times.
Data Extraction and Manipulation
Right. So I have been trying to achieve the following; Extract Key Data from a structured PDF > Push this Key Data into a Word/Excel document I can get parts of this process to work. Copilot seems pretty good at extracting data from PDFs and Excel files etc, it will show me the correct data in the chat. BUT when I ask it to push this into a pre-existing word template it just doesnt work. The best result I had was when Copilot added the Key Data to the end of the Word doc. Not what I wanted but not a million miles off. Its also fine with putting this into a new word document. So it feels like Copilot has all the functionaility required but just wont combine this with using a pre-existing word/excel template. I even tried content control boxes. For some context, this sort of thing (basically copying pasting data from one doc to another) is incredibly time consuming and there is a LOT of this in my industry. Hoping that there is a way to achieve this, even if it means multiple steps etc! 🙃Opciones de Copilot e IA no funcionan en apps de android para tablet
Tengo suscripcion activa de Microsoft 365 Copilot personal y en todos mis dispositivos(Laptops, Mac, Samsung android, iPhone e iPad) aparecen funciones de Copilot e IA, pero unicamente en mi tablet Samsung s10 FE no aparecen ni en word, ni en powerpoint y menos en excel. AyudaCopilot Prompt recommendation disappear in Word Online
Hi everyone, I’ve noticed that the Copilot prompt recommendation no longer appears in Word Online. Normally, when I type "prepare," I see a suggested prompt, but now I only see my prompt history. In the MS365 app, however, the recommendations still appear. I’ve confirmed that I have an active full Copilot license and that all MS products are updated. Has Microsoft removed this feature, or is there a setting I can enable to restore it? This feature is very helpful for quickly generating accurate prompts. Thanks in advance!
Part 5: Prompt Library + Slash — Building an All-in-One UX
TL;DR: Library = foundation, Slash = acceleration, 365 expansion = vision. The Problem We reuse the same prompts (summaries, draft replies, comparisons), but they get buried in chat history. Copy-paste is clumsy—especially for digital beginners. 👉As developers, we must design inclusivity + efficiency into Copilot. 1) Prompt Library in the Sidebar (for beginners, explained to developers) Save directly from chat Organize by category One-click insert Purpose: support beginners and seniors who struggle with bookmarks or copy-paste. For developers, this is the inclusivity baseline—without it, a large segment is left behind. 2) Slash Commands (for experienced users, including developers) /summary → instant draft in Word /diagram → structure in PowerPoint /reply → email text in Outlook Excel: handled via a command palette outside the cell (e.g., Ctrl+/) to avoid input conflicts. Why it matters (dev): Proven Loop “/” mechanism → technically low lift Keeps advanced users in flow High ROI: minimal engineering, massive UX payoff 3) Expand Slash Across Microsoft 365 Word, PowerPoint, Outlook, Excel. Unified command style = unified Copilot UX. 👉 That’s what makes Copilot the true all-in-one entry point. Why It Matters Inclusivity: Library ensures no one is excluded Efficiency: Slash preserves flow for advanced users Unified UX: consistent across all 365 apps Cost-effective: small feature, outsized impact 👉 Next step for devs: prototype Library (save/insert) + basic Slash picker in Word, using the Loop “/” pattern. Dogfood, then fan-out. Stay tuned — Part 6: “Microsoft, let’s move forward together!” ✅ 第5弾：プロンプトライブラリ＋スラッシュ ― オールインワンUXへの布石 要点: ライブラリ＝基盤、スラッシュ＝推進力、365展開＝未来像。 課題 「また同じプロンプト使いたいのに、どこだっけ？」 要約、返信下書き、比較…。気づけばチャット履歴に埋もれ、コピペ探しの旅に。 特に初心者やシニアには、この“コピペ頼み”が大きな壁になります。 👉 Copilotが“入口”を名乗るなら、ここを放置するのは致命的。 解決の二本柱 ① サイドバーのプロンプトライブラリ（弱者を救う基盤） チャットから直接保存 カテゴリ整理 ワンクリック呼び出し 「ブックマーク？コピペ？」で迷う層を置き去りにしない。 開発者にとってはこれは包括性の最低ライン。 ② スラッシュ呼び出し（経験者を加速する推進力） /要約 → Wordで即ドラフト /図解 → PowerPointで構造化 /返信 → Outlookで定型文展開 Excelは「セル外コマンドパレット（例：Ctrl+/）」で衝突回避すれば十分対応可能 既にLoopで実証済みの「/」を流用できる。 👉低工数・高ROIで、経験者はフローを途切れさせずに走り続けられる。 ③ 365全体への展開（未来を形づくるビジョン） Word、PowerPoint、Outlook、Excelで共通の操作スタイル。 👉Copilotを真のオールインワン入口に。 なぜ重要か 包括性： ライブラリで誰も取り残さない 効率性： スラッシュで流れを止めない 統一感： 365全体で同じUX コスパ： 小さな実装で大きな効果 ライブラリ＝基盤、スラッシュ＝推進力、365展開＝未来像。 次回、第6弾は 「Microsoftよ、ともに行こう！」
