00:00:02
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

00:02:09
