Save time inside Microsoft 365 with these 10 Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat prompts I actually use. Copy, paste, and tweak them for your workflow.

In this video, you’ll learn how to use Copilot Chat in Work mode to:
- Break down unread emails into a prioritized task list (with due dates)
- Catch up on a person across email, chats, and files
- Plan your week by scanning Outlook + Teams + Calendar (and create a Weekly Action Plan doc)
- Find files fast across OneDrive + SharePoint (including a deeper Excel search)
- Summarize a file in one paragraph
- Compare two files and spot differences quickly
- Prep for tough meeting questions using a document you’re reviewing
- Use Microsoft’s Prompt Library and access your saved prompts
- Turn your best Copilot output into a reusable optimized prompt

Important note: Copilot Chat is free with Microsoft 365, but many of the most useful “Work mode” prompts require a paid Copilot license, depending on your organization’s setup.

Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat offers practical prompts for everyday productivity tasks. Key use cases include catching up on unread emails with automatic categorization, tracking latest communications from specific people, planning weekly tasks by analyzing emails and calendar events, searching across OneDrive and SharePoint with deep content indexing, summarizing documents, comparing files side-by-side, and preparing for meetings by generating potential questions. Most features require a paid Copilot license beyond the free tier. Prompts can be saved and scheduled to run automatically, with results organized into structured outputs like Word documents or tables.
