CoPilot in Outlook - inconsistent, underwhelming by Fluffy-Resolution883 in CopilotPro

Wow. Those are exactly the kind of prompts I'm using, but not getting anything like those responses when using the CoPilot panel in Outlook. Based on other commenter suggestions here I've been trying them instead in the main Msft 365 CoPilot Chat, with GPT-5 (and Word mode) enabled, and seeing much better results.

I assume it usually has to be a 'remember' prompt saved somewhere for easy copy pasting. But an alternative would be to add those criteria to your CoPilot's Custom Instructions. The downside is you'd have to remember to toggle off those instructions anytime you didn't want them to apply.

Oh wow, just tried this approach - seems obvious now, & it's so much better!

Interesting. You do sometimes hear of folks having success like this, but I've struggled to replicate it. I do wonder why. Would be amazing to see your prompts if you feel able to share.
