Microsoft 365 Copilot

An AI assistant inside Outlook, Teams, Word, Excel and PowerPoint that works with your company's own content.

  • AI assistant (SaaS add-on)
  • Typical project: 3–6 weeks
  • Microsoft

Overview

Microsoft 365 Copilot drafts emails and documents, summarises meetings and long threads, builds slides and analyses spreadsheets, using the files, chats and mail each person can already access.

The value depends on readiness: tidy permissions so Copilot doesn't surface what it shouldn't, good content in SharePoint, and training so people change how they work. Start with the roles that gain most, and measure time saved.

Best for

  • People who spend the day in email, meetings and documents
  • Teams that write a lot: sales, HR, legal, project management
  • Microsoft-centred AI strategies

Think twice if…

  • Permissions are messy; fix oversharing before you switch it on
  • You plan to give it to everyone at once; pilot with the roles that gain most
