Copilot can help you easily draft emails

00:00:04

directly from the button on the ribbon when

00:00:07

you are in the message composition window,

00:00:10

and this whether you are using the desktop

00:00:13

application or the Outlook version for

00:00:15

the web to request drafting via Copilot.

00:00:18

Draft with copilot button or enter the slash

00:00:22

symbol directly in the body of the message.

00:00:25

In the Copilot window,

00:00:26

I expressed the desire to draft a

00:00:28

thank you e-mail for an invitation

00:00:30

received regarding the Innovation Fair.

00:00:32

Thanks to the small button

00:00:34

at the bottom left,

00:00:36

I take the opportunity to specify

00:00:38

the editorial details of the message

00:00:40

related to the length of the text to

00:00:43

generate or the tone to use, Short,

00:00:45

medium, long, formal, neutral, etcetera.

00:00:48

I can then generate my draft.

00:00:50

Once the proposal is displayed by Copilot,

00:00:53

I can keep,

00:00:54

delete or generate another proposal.

00:00:56

In my case,

00:00:57

Copilot drafted a message related

00:00:59

to a future event whereas the

00:01:01

fair took place last week.

00:01:03

So I will provide some additional

00:01:06

information to Copilot specifying that it

00:01:08

is a past event and validate with Enter.

00:01:11

Copilot takes my details into account

00:01:13

and offers me a second draft that

00:01:16

correctly refers to a past event.

00:01:18

At anytime,

00:01:19

I can change the previously expressed

00:01:21

prompt and navigate through the history of

00:01:25

editorial proposals generated by Copilot.

00:01:27

This e-mail is intended for

00:01:29

a partner I know well.

00:01:31

I want a less formal and friendlier text.

00:01:33

Again, I express my wish.

00:01:35

Copilot does the rest.

00:01:40

Finally, I would like to inform my partner

00:01:42

of the need to discuss during a meeting

00:01:45

that I plan to schedule next Tuesday,

00:01:47

so I asked Copilot for an additional

00:01:50

paragraph on this subject.

00:01:51

After reviewing the final output,

00:01:53

I decide to keep the draft.

00:01:54

All I have to do is fill in the

00:01:57

recipient and the subject of the e-mail.

00:02:00

If, despite everything,

00:02:01

I wish to intervene on the message,

00:02:03

I can do so manually or call on

00:02:05

Copilot again using the slash or

00:02:07

the dedicated button, for example.

00:02:09

Modify the tone or the length

00:02:11

of the previously kept draft.

00:02:13

Here I will ask for a longer

00:02:15

text in poem mode.

00:02:20

The result, even if it is not very

00:02:22

professional, is quite convincing.

00:02:25

Feel free to also explore express your

00:02:28

needs to copilot for Outlook in order to

00:02:30

save time on writing your emails daily.
