AI is everywhere right now, but where does it actually deliver value?
Kane Baden, Lanter’s Business Automation Consultant has put together a short video showcasing practical ways Microsoft Copilot is helping businesses improve productivity, including:
- Find Information Across Your Busines Copilot can pull together information from emails, Teams conversations, documents, SharePoint, and other connected systems, giving you quick answers without spending time searching across multiple platforms.
- Stay on Top of Your Day. Automated “look ahead” and “look back” summaries can help you prepare for upcoming meetings, review outstanding tasks, identify emails that still need responses and prioritise your workload.
- Research Complex Topics. Need to investigate a new technology, regulation, competitor, or business challenge? Copilot’s Researcher agent can perform detailed research, ask clarifying questions, and generate comprehensive reports for you to review when it’s finished.
- Create Better Presentations Faster Instead of spending hours formatting slides, Copilot can transform basic content into polished presentations and even apply your company branding and visual style guidelines.
- Work Smarter in Excel. From extracting information from invoices to explaining complex formulas and building pivot tables, Copilot helps both everyday users and Excel experts work more efficiently.
- Simplify Document Creation. Populate templates, draft documents, and automate repetitive data entry tasks, allowing your team to spend more time reviewing and less time copying and pasting.
- Get More Value from Teams Meetings. Copilot can generate meeting summaries, capture action items, assign responsibilities, identify due dates, and help standardise meeting outputs across your organisation.
