directly from the button on the ribbon when

00:00:09

you are in the message composition window,

00:00:11

whether you are using the desktop application

00:00:14

or the web version of Outlook.

00:00:16

To solicit the artificial intelligence,

00:00:18

use the co-pilot drafts button.

00:00:22

Or enter the slash symbol directly in the body of the message.

00:00:27

In the co-pilot window,

00:00:28

I expressed the desire to write a thank you

00:00:30

email for an invitation received regarding the innovation fair.

00:00:35

I can then generate my draft.

00:00:39

Once the proposal is displayed by co-pilot,

00:00:41

I can keep,

00:00:42

delete,

00:00:42

or generate another proposal.

00:00:46

In my case,

00:00:47

co-pilot wrote a message related to a past event,

00:00:50

while the fair is taking place in a few weeks.

00:00:54

I will therefore provide co-pilot with some additional information

00:00:57

by specifying that it is a future event.

00:01:01

And confirm with Enter.

00:01:04

Co-pilot takes my request into account and offers me

00:01:07

a 2nd draft referring to a future event.

00:01:11

At any time I can change the previously expressed prompt

00:01:14

and navigate through the history of generated draft proposals.

00:01:19

This email is intended for a partner I know well.

00:01:22

I want a less formal text,

00:01:24

for example,

00:01:25

by using informal language.

00:01:28

I can also use the tone modification or adjust the

00:01:31

length of the message using the button available below.

00:01:36

Once again,

00:01:37

I express my wish and co-pilot does the rest.

00:01:42

Finally,

00:01:43

I would like to inform my partner about the need to

00:01:45

discuss during a meeting I plan to schedule next Tuesday.

00:01:48

So,

00:01:48

I asked co-pilot for an additional paragraph on this topic.

00:01:53

After reviewing the final draft,

00:01:55

I decide to keep it.

00:01:58

I just need to fill in the recipient and the subject of the email.

00:02:03

If I still want to intervene on the message,

00:02:06

I can do it manually or call co-pilot again using the slash or the dedicated button.

00:02:13

To,

00:02:13

for example,

00:02:14

modify the tone or length of the previously kept draft.

00:02:17

Here I will ask for a text in poem mode.

00:02:22

The result,

00:02:22

while not very professional,

00:02:24

is rather convincing.

00:02:27

Feel free to explore and express your needs to co-pilot for Outlook

00:02:31

to save time on your everyday email writing tasks.
