🤖 What really is a Copilot Prompt and Prompt of the Week


G'day there Reader, if you celebrate Easter, I hope you have had a nice little break with friends and family and enjoyed those Easter eggs 🐰.

Let me first start by welcoming 👋 the hundreds of new subscribers and members of the Copilot Studio Community in the past few days, it is amazing to see so many new people coming on board.

I welcome all replies to the newsletter editions so please hit reply and let me know where you are at in your Copilot journey. Do you need help? are your frustrated? want to learn something or just asks a question? Hit Reply and let me know.

Now onto today's edition.

Are you new to using Copilot? you are in the right place. Let's start with a few basics and fundamentals.

What is a prompt? A prompt is simply how you ask Copilot to do something for you.

For example: "Can you please summarize this document into 5 key points".

or

"Can you please Draft an email to the CEO asking to replace the coffee machine in the lunchroom. Please write in a professional tone with a little humor."

Most prompts that you give Copilot will be most likely in one of these categories:

  • Create
  • Edit
  • Ask
  • Catch up
  • Understand

In the next edition we will break down the different components of writing a good prompt.

So, you're new to Copilot? well everyone is 😜
