I am responsible for ordering equipment to improve

00:00:11

the ergonomic comfort of our team's workstations.

00:00:14

This includes ergonomic mice and mouse pads as well

00:00:17

as headsets with microphones for our 30 employees.

00:00:21

I've identified a potential supplier with

00:00:23

a comprehensive catalog of office supplies.

00:00:26

Given that time is valuable.

00:00:28

I'm turning to Microsoft Copilot to help me select

00:00:31

high quality products that stay within my budget.

00:00:34

If possible.

00:00:35

Using co-pilot chat,

00:00:36

I create a precise contextualized prompt where I specify my role equipment needs

00:00:42

budget and request to extract the most

00:00:45

suitable product references from the document.

00:00:47

I'll attach

00:00:48

the attached file can be accessed from recent documents.

00:00:51

A Microsoft cloud location or as in this case from a local drive on my computer.

00:00:59

After analyzing my request and file copilot generates a list of

00:01:03

products that meet my criteria along with a cost summary.

00:01:06

However,

00:01:07

the total slightly exceeds my budget co-pilot suggests

00:01:11

reducing quantities or selecting lower priced items.

00:01:14

But instead I decide to refine my preferences.

00:01:17

I clarify to copilot that I'm looking for ergonomic wired

00:01:21

mice with 10 of them suited for left handed users

00:01:27

with each interaction, I can select suggested prompts to help adjust the costs.

00:01:32

However, I don't want to compromise on either quality or quantity.

00:01:36

My aim here is for copilot to provide product

00:01:39

references so I can potentially negotiate with the supplier

00:01:44

continuing with my task.

00:01:46

I'd like to know the cost of 10 sit stand

00:01:49

ergonomic desks which might be part of a future order

00:01:53

after a few seconds.

00:01:54

Copilot suggests a suitable model looks like a substantial budget item.

00:01:59

Are there other models available?

00:02:01

Let's use the suggested prompt

00:02:03

copilot then proposes a more affordable

00:02:06

and functional option seeking further clarity.

00:02:09

I ask copilot to generate a detailed description of the less expensive model.

00:02:14

Copilot responds with an overview of the desk's features

00:02:17

such as adjustable height and a spacious work surface.

00:02:21

Now I'd like an even clearer comparison.

00:02:23

I ask copilot to generate a side by side table comparing

00:02:28

the two models using visual star indicators for specific features.

00:02:33

Not only does copilot provide a detailed table,

00:02:35

but it also lists advantages and disadvantages for each desk.

00:02:39

Perfect.

00:02:40

All that's left is to reach out to the supplier.

00:02:43

Copilot has been a tremendous asset,

00:02:45

saving me valuable time in selecting and budgeting for our future equipment.
