Tim's Sample Prompts

1. M365 Chat

  • "Search through my Teams chats find the conversations I had with Priya about Summer AI bootcamp. Who are our speakers, both confirmed and non-confirmed? What are the topics we will cover? When is the next meeting scheduled?"

2. Word

  • G: 500-word Teams message to hype our Summer AI bootcamp, with a focus on the speakers and topics we will cover. Make it engaging and informative, and include a call to action for people to sign up.

  • O: Word document we'll collaborate on, then export into a Teams message. The document should include sections for the speakers, topics, and a call to action, as well as any relevant images or graphics.

  • A: Our internal IT staff, embracing business analysts, data engineers, security researchers, IT Operations professionals, and software developers. Highly technical audience, but not necessarily AI experts. They are interested in learning about the latest AI technologies and how they can be applied to their work, but they may not have a lot of experience with AI. They are looking for practical, actionable information that they can use to improve their skills and advance their careers.

  • L: 500 words, with a focus on the speakers and topics we will cover. The tone should be engaging and informative, and the call to action should be clear and compelling.

  • "Condense the first paragraph" (with and w/o Agent mode)

3. Excel

  • "Using the AssetInventory table, create a PivotTable and a stacked column PivotChart on a new sheet named Refresh Dashboard. Put Department on the axis, RefreshPriority in the legend, and Sum of AssetCount in Values so each bar shows asset count. Filter to Office = Nashville and exclude RefreshPriority = "Retired / Dispose". Sort departments by descending asset count. Add slicers for DeviceCategory, PatchStatus, and LeaseOrOwned. Title the chart TechTrainerTim Nashville IT Asset Refresh Plan. Format it for an executive review with data labels and keep the underlying PivotTable on the same sheet."

  • Put this in Copilot_Lab!A2. Leave A2:B300 empty so the result can spill into two columns.

  • =COPILOT("For each asset row in this TechTrainerTim Nashville IT asset inventory, return exactly two columns in the same row order: RefreshRecommendation using only Keep, Monitor, Refresh, Replace, and ShortReason limited to 8-12 words. Base the decision only on the provided field names and values. Do not add numbering, bullets, or extra commentary.",Inventory!I1:AM225)

Analyst & Researcher

  • Researcher: "What are the top 5 trends in AI for IT professionals in 2026? Provide a brief summary of each trend and its potential impact on the industry."

  • Analyst: "Analyze our IT asset inventory data to identify any patterns or trends in asset usage and performance. Provide insights on how we can optimize our asset management strategy based on your findings."
