Prompt Engineering with Microsoft Copilot

Check what M365 Copilot license you have?

I have an Enterprise license, which allows me to create M365 apps and share them. I can also consume M365 apps shared with me for free.

Prompting Microsoft Copilot  

(Prompt engineering is a stupid name for search using AI)

Prompting is asking the copilot to give you information.  I advise using four parts to cover in your prompt> 1. goal 2. context 3. source 4. expectation, I remember it as "GCSE prompting".

1. Goal - what do I want, e.g., tell Copilot what we want

I want tactics for pricing my SaaS products

2. Context - Why do I need it

e.g., this is a new product in the B2C space

3. Sources - optional - ask from specific resources

e.g. provide my company stats and ask to compare to my market (from the LLM)

4. Expectations - Table of info, summary, or even an image(maybe not)

M365 Copilot app. 
There are tons of options to help with prompt engineering, the key is to give it clear instructions as shown using the the "GCSE approach" mention above.

Microsoft Copilot is integrated with Office Applications

Apps that M365 Copilot embeds with, if you have the M365 licence, include: 
1. Word, 2. Excel, 3. PowerPoint, 4. Outlook, and 5. Teams

1. Word

Word Copilot is part of the M365 Copilot branding.  Generates scaffolding/first draft.

2. Excel

Use in Excel with your own data - allows easy query using English/natural language.

3. PowerPoint

Draft a presentation using org themes based on prompts. You can also use Copilot to add images you create using Copilot (DALL-e).
