Hey everyone,
Ever stared at a blinking cursor, wondering how to get Copilot to do exactly what you need? You’re not alone. Whether you’re drafting a report, summarizing a meeting, or brainstorming ideas, the magic often lies in how you ask.
That’s why this short video—How to create a great Microsoft Copilot prompt—is worth a few minutes of your time. It’s a quick, practical guide that shows how small tweaks to your prompt can lead to way better results.
Here’s what you’ll learn in just over a minute:
- (00:01) A good prompt is like a good recipe: clear, specific, and goal-oriented.
- (00:29) Add context—like your audience or tone—to help Copilot tailor its response.
- (00:45) Include keywords or reference docs to narrow the focus and boost relevance.
- (01:01) Don’t expect perfection on the first try. Prompting is a back-and-forth process.
- (01:15) Think of it as a conversation. The more you refine, the better it gets.
Whether you’re new to Copilot or already experimenting, this video is a great reminder that prompting is a skill and one that gets better with practice.
So give it a watch, try a new prompt today, and see what happens. And if you discover a trick that works for you, share it with a teammate. We’re all learning together.
Happy learning, keep prompting and remember…progress over perfection.
