Most people use Copilot with the default settings.

That’s exactly why so many responses still feel generic.

I’ve spent months refining my Custom Instructions to make Copilot more useful for work, with better structure, clearer answers, and responses that fit the way I work.

You can use them as your starting point and customize them to fit your own preferences.

If you use Outlook at work, this might be the best Copilot prompt you’ll ever use.

Most people manually create custom instructions.

Instead, let Copilot analyze your sent emails and create them for you.

It learns:✅ Your tone✅ Your writing style✅ Your preferred structure✅ How formal (or informal) you are✅ The phrases you use most often

The result is emails that sound much more like you and require far less editing.

Have you set up custom instructions in Copilot yet?

Stop building Copilot agents from a blank page.
In this reel I share the base instruction template I use for every new agent.

Use it as a starting point, then tweak it for your role, company and workflow.
It covers purpose, tone, structure, do’s and don’ts, so your agent behaves like a real assistant, not a random chatbot.

How to use it:
1. Copy the template from the reel
2. Paste it into your new Copilot agent
3. Swap my examples for your own context
4. Test, refine, save

Save this reel so you can reuse the template for every new agent.

Comment “PREP” and I’ll send you the exact Copilot prompt.

I gave Copilot access to my calendar, and now meeting prep is one less thing to worry about.

The goal? Get a personalized email 15 minutes before every meeting with:

✅ Everything you need to know
✅ Key updates from emails and Teams chats
✅ Outstanding commitments and action items
✅ Talking points and decisions to make

All in a 60-second briefing.

No digging through emails. No searching old conversations. No last-minute preparation.

Just walk into every meeting ready.

💡 Tip: Ask Copilot to include links to relevant emails and documents, so you can jump straight into the details when needed.

Comment “TOOLKIT” to get my free Copilot resources! 🚀

You have Microsoft Copilot at work, but chances are you’re missing out on some of its best features.

Here are 5 you should start using:

1. Schedule prompts ⏰
Set your favorite prompts to run automatically every day, week, or month. Perfect for weekly planning, inbox reviews, and recurring tasks.

2. Search with Copilot 🔎
Find files, emails, Teams messages, and information across Microsoft 365 without switching between apps.

3. Share output 🔗
Share Copilot’s responses with colleagues using a link instead of copying and pasting everything.

4. Create a page 📄
Turn a Copilot response into an editable, shareable page that you can refine and collaborate on.

5. Plugins & Skills in Cowork ⚡
Extend Copilot Cowork with connected tools and specialized skills to handle more complex, multi-step tasks.

💡 My tip: Start with scheduled prompts. It’s one of the easiest ways to make Copilot work for you, even when you’re busy doing something else.

Stop wasting Monday mornings figuring out what to work on.

🟢 What can wait

Plus your top 3 priorities for today.

Comment “FRIDAY” and I’ll send you my Friday Reset prompt ☕

Stop trying to finish everything before the weekend.

Let Microsoft 365 Copilot help you figure out what actually matters.

One prompt reviews your work and organizes your tasks into three categories:

🔴 What needs to get done today

🟡 What can move to next week

🟢 What can wait

Copilot uses the emails, meetings, chats, and tasks it can access to help you prioritize your Friday.

My tip: Run this every Friday morning before you start working.

Most people don’t know Copilot can do this in Teams 👀

Instead of writing a reply yourself:

1. Open Copilot in Teams
2. Type: “Reply to the latest message”
3. Let Copilot draft the response
4. Copy, paste, send ✅

Simple, but seriously useful when Teams messages keep piling up.

💡 Super tip: Add extra context like “Keep it short and friendly” or “Politely decline and suggest next week instead.”

Ever opened your inbox and realized you completely forgot to reply to someone? 😅

I use Copilot to scan my recent emails, find the ones that still need a response and flag them in Outlook for me.

Simple prompt. Much less chance of an important email slipping through.

💡 Super tip: Schedule this prompt to run automatically every day or every Monday morning, so Copilot keeps checking your inbox for you.

I asked Copilot to find every part of my job I could automate.

It looked at my emails, meetings, chats, documents, tasks and work patterns.

Then it showed me:

• What I’m still doing manually
• What Copilot could take over
• The highest-ROI opportunities
• 10 quick wins I can use right now
• What still needs human judgment
• How many hours I could realistically save every week

This is one of the most useful Copilot prompts I’ve tried.

If you missed it, Dots are OpenAI’s new autonomous AI workers. Instead of waiting for your next prompt, they can keep working toward a goal, use connected apps, operate their own cloud computer, and handle multi-step tasks.

OpenAI is also introducing specialist Dots for businesses, focused on specific roles or responsibilities.

These specialist Dots are planned to integrate with Microsoft Agent 365, Microsoft’s platform for managing and securing AI agents.

Exactly how Dots will show up inside Copilot is not clear yet, but a deeper Microsoft integration now looks very possible.
