An easy way to prep for a meeting with the boss

You know that stressful moment before meeting with your manager — the one where you’re scrolling through emails, flipping through Teams threads and trying to remember just what on earth you’ve been working on this week?

Now, Microsoft 365 Copilot can handle the scramble for you and get all your updates in order before your next one-on-one with this all-encompassing prompt:

Please review my Outlook inbox, calendar and Teams activity from the past seven days and generate a summary of key updates to share in my weekly meeting with my manager. Use the following structure:

Headline (bolded)
What happened (brief summary of the event, meeting or milestone)
Why it matters (strategic context, client sentiment, business impact)
Next steps or implications (planned follow-ups, tests or actions)

Format each update like a mini-brief and include both client-facing updates and internal workstreams. Group updates by client or initiative. Prioritize high-impact progress, escalations or decisions. Include metrics or investment amounts when relevant.

The Prompt is a regular Signal feature to give you specific, super-quick ways you can use AI to solve problems, boost your creativity and get more done at work.
