    I am responsible for ordering equipment to improve
    00:00:11
    the ergonomic comfort of our team's workstations.
    00:00:14
    This includes ergonomic mice and mouse pads as well
    00:00:17
    as headsets with microphones for our 30 employees.
    00:00:21
    I've identified a potential supplier with
    00:00:23
    a comprehensive catalog of office supplies.
    00:00:26
    Given that time is valuable.
    00:00:28
    I'm turning to Microsoft Copilot to help me select
    00:00:31
    high quality products that stay within my budget.
    00:00:34
    If possible.
    00:00:35
    Using co-pilot chat,
    00:00:36
    I create a precise contextualized prompt where I specify my role equipment needs
    00:00:42
    budget and request to extract the most
    00:00:45
    suitable product references from the document.
    00:00:47
    I'll attach
    00:00:48
    the attached file can be accessed from recent documents.
    00:00:51
    A Microsoft cloud location or as in this case from a local drive on my computer.
    00:00:59
    After analyzing my request and file copilot generates a list of
    00:01:03
    products that meet my criteria along with a cost summary.
    00:01:06
    However,
    00:01:07
    the total slightly exceeds my budget co-pilot suggests
    00:01:11
    reducing quantities or selecting lower priced items.
    00:01:14
    But instead I decide to refine my preferences.
    00:01:17
    I clarify to copilot that I'm looking for ergonomic wired
    00:01:21
    mice with 10 of them suited for left handed users
    00:01:27
    with each interaction, I can select suggested prompts to help adjust the costs.
    00:01:32
    However, I don't want to compromise on either quality or quantity.
    00:01:36
    My aim here is for copilot to provide product
    00:01:39
    references so I can potentially negotiate with the supplier
    00:01:44
    continuing with my task.
    00:01:46
    I'd like to know the cost of 10 sit stand
    00:01:49
    ergonomic desks which might be part of a future order
    00:01:53
    after a few seconds.
    00:01:54
    Copilot suggests a suitable model looks like a substantial budget item.
    00:01:59
    Are there other models available?
    00:02:01
    Let's use the suggested prompt
    00:02:03
    copilot then proposes a more affordable
    00:02:06
    and functional option seeking further clarity.
    00:02:09
    I ask copilot to generate a detailed description of the less expensive model.
    00:02:14
    Copilot responds with an overview of the desk's features
    00:02:17
    such as adjustable height and a spacious work surface.
    00:02:21
    Now I'd like an even clearer comparison.
    00:02:23
    I ask copilot to generate a side by side table comparing
    00:02:28
    the two models using visual star indicators for specific features.
    00:02:33
    Not only does copilot provide a detailed table,
    00:02:35
    but it also lists advantages and disadvantages for each desk.
    00:02:39
    Perfect.
    00:02:40
    All that's left is to reach out to the supplier.
    00:02:43
    Copilot has been a tremendous asset,
    00:02:45
    saving me valuable time in selecting and budgeting for our future equipment.
