Copilot in Word offers the ability to

00:00:04

generate content from other files,

00:00:06

for example to create a summary text

00:00:09

related to the subject of the file.

00:00:12

Other Word or PowerPoint

00:00:13

files stored on OneDrive,

00:00:15

Teams or SharePoint can be used.

00:00:18

I have a document here dealing

00:00:20

with the issue of climate change.

00:00:22

I would like to summarize its content.

00:00:24

For this, in the Copilot prompt,

00:00:26

I will either use the Reference Your

00:00:28

Content button or enter the symbol to

00:00:31

call up the content referencing box.

00:00:33

In this box,

00:00:34

I can reference either recently used files

00:00:36

or browse through my various cloud spaces.

00:00:38

Here I will point it to my file

00:00:41

located in my personal OneDrive space.

00:00:43

Then I express my prompt that is my

00:00:46

request by asking for a structured

00:00:48

summary of the content of my file.

00:00:51

Once the content generation is complete,

00:00:53

I can rephrase the prompt.

00:00:55

Keep the proposal,

00:00:57

regenerate another version,

00:00:58

delete or as I will do,

00:01:00

ask to keep the content by adding a

00:01:04

paragraph on the evolution of temperatures.

00:01:07

In my case,

00:01:08

I will keep the proposal for any new request,

00:01:11

it will be necessary to specify

00:01:13

again the document to rely on.

00:01:14

So I will go and reference the same

00:01:17

document and specify to generate a

00:01:19

block on how to lower temperatures.

00:01:22

The result not being synthetic enough for me,

00:01:25

I will reformulate my request

00:01:27

specifying a result in list form.

00:01:29

The generated editorial content

00:01:31

is thus finalized.

00:01:32

This principle is applicable

00:01:34

by referencing a PowerPoint

00:01:35

presentation to generate a word text.

00:01:37

I have a presentation on Copilot here,

00:01:39

and I want to generate a summary of

00:01:42

the content in the form of a list

00:01:44

of five key points related to the

00:01:46

advantages of the AI assistant Copilot.

00:01:49

So I express my prompt,

00:01:50

I wait while the content is generated,

00:01:53

and I validate the proposal.

00:01:54

I add my presentation again as a

00:01:57

reference to summarize the roles

00:01:58

or professions that can benefit

00:02:00

from using Copilot.

00:02:05

After a few seconds, my content is generated.

00:02:07

Copilot can really be considered as

00:02:09

a tool to help synthesize and write

00:02:11

documents effortlessly and quickly.
