Before you get started
A quick thought experiment to get you in the Cowork mindset.
What if you had a colleague who never sleeps, one you could hand a task to that would dig through your files, emails, and chats, do the work, and hand it back ready for your review?
What's the first thing you'd delegate? A few to get you thinking:
- The status report you rebuild every week
- Triaging and clearing your inbox
- Pulling meeting prep together from a dozen scattered threads
Now imagine getting that finished work back, and how much of your week you'd get back with it. That's the shift Copilot Cowork is built for: you describe the outcome, it does the legwork across your Microsoft 365 environment, and you stay in control.
