Managers spend much of their week turning information from one place into a message somewhere else. That is exactly the work Microsoft Copilot is good at.

1. Weekly status update

Prompt
Draft my weekly update to the leadership team using my sent emails, Teams chats and meeting notes from this week. Headings: Progress, Risks, Decisions needed, Next week. Under 250 words.

2. Meeting follow-up in one step

Prompt
From this meeting, list decisions, actions with owners and dates, and open questions. Then draft a follow-up email to attendees.

3. Document a process

Prompt
Turn this transcript of me explaining the purchase order process into a step-by-step procedure with roles, systems used and common mistakes. Format it for our SharePoint procedures library.

4. Onboarding agent

Where: Agent Builder, grounded in your team's onboarding SharePoint folder.

Prompt
Create an agent that helps new joiners in the operations team. Use the Team Onboarding folder. Answer questions about systems, who to ask and first-week tasks. Friendly, concise, and always link to the source document.

5. Recurring briefing with Cowork

Prompt
Every Friday at 3pm, prepare a summary of the week's team actions from Planner and the Ops channel, list anything overdue, and draft (do not post) a message for the Ops channel.
