An assistant for personal tasks
Microsoft Copilot offers conversational assistance for questions, content creation and research. This profile concerns personal use; check the separate work profile when your task involves your organization’s Microsoft 365 information.
When should you explore it?
Our suggested starting point is an everyday decision with clear constraints. State what you already know and what would make an answer useful. Ask for missing information instead of inviting the assistant to fill gaps with assumptions.
A useful first task
Try planning a weekend meal for six people with a fixed shopping budget and two dietary preferences. Ask for a draft menu, a grouped shopping list and questions about anything you have not specified. Adjust quantities yourself before buying ingredients. This is a suggested exercise, not a tested menu.
What to check
Confirm which account you are using and what your current plan includes. For factual research, open cited pages and check their dates. Treat numbers or recommendations without supporting evidence as items to verify.
