5 prompts to supercharge your everyday workflow

5 prompts to supercharge your everyday workflow

It’s been a few weeks since we brought GPT-5 to Microsoft 365 Copilot, and it’s quickly become part of my everyday workflow, adding a new layer of intelligence spanning all my apps.

Here are 5 prompts that show what’s now possible:

“Based on my prior interactions with [/person], give me 5 things likely top of mind for our next meeting.”

“Draft a project update based on emails, chats, and all meetings in [/series]: KPIs vs. targets, wins/losses, risks, competitive moves, plus likely tough questions and answers.”

“Are we on track for the [Product] launch in November? Check eng progress, pilot program results, risks. Give me a probability.”

“Review my calendar and email from the last month and create 5 to 7 buckets for projects I spend most time on, with % of time spent and short descriptions.”

“Review [/select email] + prep me for the next meeting in [/series], based on past manager and team discussions.”

What prompts have you found most useful?

Incredible to see how Copilot is already shaping workflows. Humbly speaking, I think the next big leap will be AI that not only assists but quietly enforces the right steps and compliance in the background. That’s when enterprise transformation really takes hold.
