Microsoft’s artificial intelligence assistant Copilot is well known for its ability to cut through mundane tasks enabling people to draft content and summarise meetings quicker and in context but its newest version, which went live this year, has major implications for improving enterprise efficiency and productivity. Here’s how:
Copilot can help complete lines of code, debugging, or even writing entire functions and GitHub Copilot can help programmers simplify their coding process. So instead of spending time on routine coding tasks or searching for bugs in code, developers can focus on complex problem-solving and innovation.
Copilot applications like Jarvis and Copy.ai make it easier for writers to create copy. These tools help generate marketing copy and more so that writers can focus on research, strategy, and execution.
Corporate or contract law professionals can use Copilot to automate the review and drafting of legal documents. AI speeds up this normally time intensive task and lowers the chance of human error.
Copilot can help medical professionals in diagnosing conditions and creating personalized treatment plans. Combining Copilot with a medical database offers quick access to relevant information, which leads to faster and more accurate diagnoses and more effective treatment strategies. The result is improved patient care experiences.
Copilot can help customer service representatives deliver faster and more accurate support. AI can suggest the best responses or solutions by analysing customer queries and improving customer satisfaction. Copilot skims available information to provide a detailed summary and overview helping businesses maintain high service levels.
Using Copilot in education enables faster creation of learning materials and the ability to cater to individual learning styles. Currently, learning materials are created for mass consumption but not everyone learns at the same pace or at the same level. Through Copilot and adaptive AI, a more tailored approach to distance learning can be created so that students at all stages of the learning curve have content available to them through more accessible means.
Banking, investment, or insurance professionals constantly make decisions based on data. Using Copilot automation to improve the data analysis enables faster identification of trends and quicker strategic decision-making.
Copilot can optimize advertising campaigns and strategy planning to enable digital marketers to analyse their audience faster and with more depth. Automation can analyse data from a previous campaign and suggest improvements, target demographics, and content strategies that lead to higher engagement rates and ROI. Marketers can then consistently refine their efforts to reach wider audiences and gain maximum impact.
Automation delivers a competitive edge in logistics and distribution. Planning optimal routes, managing inventories, and predicting demand take considerable time and manpower. Through Copilot, operations are more efficient, costs are lowered, and operators can pivot to meet demands faster while preparing for future demand.
Architects and designers can use Copilot applications to enable more efficient design processes by providing real-time suggestions and automate parts of the design process. Professionals then have more time to explore creative solutions while project development and client presentations become much easier to shape.

Copilot – Microsoft’s generative AI assistant – is the talk of workplaces the world over. It is fast taking off, particularly in light of the IDC report which shows that companies that invest US $1 in AI reap an ROI of 3.5 within a year or less.
While many have an overarching understanding of what Copilot is, there are some key pointers you may have missed, so we are shining a spotlight on them.
There are various versions. key to companies just starting out on their AI journey are:
Copilot With Commercial Data Protection:
This is available for all employees in organizations with a Microsoft 365 licence. It does not have access to any of the organization’s enterprise data so anything that its users paste or chat within Copilot is protected and is not shared outside of the organization.
Copilot For Microsoft 365:
This is the superpower version which has access to your Microsoft graph – that’s all the data and signals that are in your digital workplace including emails, OneDrive, Sharepoint and Teams sites, as well as external information on the Web making it a superb research and brainstorming tool. It can summarise documents helping you make sense of all the information, summarise meetings and data for more insightful actions.
Because it works on a language model, Copilot can contextually refine texts and generate ideas to resonate with different audiences.
You can use Copilot to also generate images to enliven your presentations, newsletters, and reports.
If you use Copilot you are protected against copyright infringement. However, if you are an organization with a lot of IP, it is important not to make it available to public facing websites where it could be used to feed models to create generative AI versions.
There’s no limit on how many licences you must have for Copilot M365, but it is an annual upfront paid commitment so trial it in a pilot phase before rolling it out.
Don’t forget, to get the most out of your Copilot experience, users must be upskilled to use it, such as the art of prompting, as well as the underlying technology i.e. whiteboard and Teams. Thanks to our collaboration with Storyals, we can provide their comprehensive, modern, cost effective and sustainable training programme. This is a mix of on-demand training in your own environment with evergreen, continuously updated training on how to use M365 Copilot and the underlying technology as well as live instructor-led training.
