The Prompt: How can you use AI better? Ask AI

If you’ve ever stared at your overflowing to-do list and thought, “Surely AI could help with some of this,” this prompt is your productivity power-up. It’s not just a generic tip sheet — it’s a personalized consultation where the AI plays detective, asking smart questions about your role, goals and daily grind.

By the end, you’ll get two obvious ways to automate busywork and two delightfully unexpected ways to level up your workflow.

Just type this into Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat and be ready to answer some quick follow-ups:

Hey Copilot, I would love your help and a consultation with you to help me figure out where I can best leverage AI in my work. As an AI expert, would you please ask me questions — one question at a time until you have enough context about my work (like my responsibilities, my OKRs and KPIs) that you could make two obvious recommendations and two non-obvious recommendations for how I could leverage AI in my work?

 

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.
