Work Smarter with Microsoft Copilot – Webinar Recap & Upcoming Training

Yesterday, Eitex hosted an incredible webinar: Work Smarter with Microsoft Copilot, and it was a huge success! The session showcased how Copilot is transforming the way businesses work within Microsoft 365, helping teams save time, boost productivity, and stay secure.

What is Microsoft Copilot?

Microsoft Copilot is your AI-powered assistant built into Microsoft 365. It works across apps like Teams, Outlook, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint to help you work smarter, not harder. Copilot understands your business context because it learns from your documents, emails, meetings, and chats, making it a true game-changer.

Free vs Paid Version

• Free Version: Offers basic AI assistance, limited to general queries and web-based answers.
• Paid Version: Unlocks full integration with Microsoft 365. It understands your organisation’s data, enabling personalised insights, summaries, and automation across apps.

Security, Compliance, and Permission Boundaries

Copilot respects your organisation’s security, compliance, and privacy standards. It only accesses data you have permission to view. You can set boundaries, like restricting searches to UK-based suppliers—ensuring results align with your business rules.

This Was Discussed in the Webinar: Copilot Across Microsoft 365

Copilot works seamlessly across the Microsoft ecosystem, and here are some of the best features highlighted during the event:

• Teams: Missed a meeting or been on holiday? Ask Copilot for a recap of everything you missed. It summarises chats, decisions, and action items so you’re always up to speed.
• Outlook: Draft emails in seconds, choose tones (formal, friendly, persuasive), and summarise long threads for quick responses.
• Word: Generate first drafts from a simple prompt, rewrite sections for clarity or tone, and summarise lengthy documents into key points.
• Excel: Create complex formulas from natural language, generate charts and pivot tables instantly, and highlight trends without manual work.
• PowerPoint: Turn a Word document or meeting notes into a full slide deck, complete with layouts, designs, and speaker notes.
• Copilot Agent: Automate workflows across apps, schedule meetings, send follow-up emails, and update documents automatically. Think of it as your personal digital assistant.

Questions Asked During the Event

Q: Does Copilot share data with other company members?
A: No. Copilot only uses data you have permission to access. It respects organisational security and compliance rules.

Q: In the free version, can I ask it to check my mailbox and respond?
A: No. The free version does not integrate with your mailbox. That functionality is available in the paid version.

Q: Does it propose reply emails we can review and send?
A: Yes! In the paid version, Copilot can draft responses for you to review, edit, and send, saving time and ensuring professional communication.

Q: What is the difference between Copilot and ChatGPT?
A:

• ChatGPT is a general-purpose AI chatbot designed for creative tasks, coding, and Q&A.
• Copilot is integrated into Microsoft 365, using your organisation’s data securely to automate workflows, summarise meetings, draft documents, and analyse data.
  Copilot focuses on productivity and compliance, while ChatGPT is broader and platform-agnostic.

Q: How much does the paid version cost?
A: Prices vary depending on your current Microsoft licences and subscription plan.
