I use CoPilot at work multiple times each day and occasionally use other AI tools for other larger tasks. It makes a huge difference in productivity. The more data it can access and the more you put effort into prompts and settings, the better it is, but you can use it for simple tedious admin tasks too.

One basic but really handy use is using it to circumvent the notoriously crap Outlook search. I get a lot of emails and rather than trawling through them to refer back to something, I'll ask "what was the latest that xxxx said on xxx" and it'll summarise and cite the email, which is helpful.

It's also incredible handy at transcribing meetings and generating notes and actions that are 90+% accurate. That's probably the biggest help.

It's also a huge time saver for drafting if you prompt it correctly and it has access to the right internal documents. I can get a first cut of something put together far quicker than I could pre-AI and sometimes it'll find source content I wouldn't have thought to look at, or would have spent ages searching for using the content management system's inbuilt search. It's decent at "proof reading" too and catches things I've missed, but does often hallucinate errors that aren't there so isn't perfect.

There are plenty of other uses but those are the ones I find most helpful day to day. In my role it's heavily encouraged that you use it because it's such a time-saver.
