Microsoft introducing the Great Copilot Journey for Copilot Chat

Are you looking to transform your organization's workflow with cutting-edge AI tools but unsure where to begin? The Great Copilot Journey for Copilot Chat is here to guide you through this process. Building on the success of the original program for Microsoft 365 Copilot licensed users, we designed this new training program to help you scale your organization’s adoption of Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat, the free chat experience for Microsoft 365. Make Copilot Chat a daily habit for your organization and help your teams experience what’s possible with AI – one prompt at a time.

Why Use Copilot Chat?​

In today’s competitive landscape, it’s important for organizations and business users to leverage advanced AI technology to stay ahead. The 2024 Work Trend Index Annual Report found that 79% of leaders agree their company needs to adopt AI to stay competitive, and Copilot Chat is an easy and efficient way to get your organization started on their AI journey.

Copilot Chat is a secure AI chat tool built specifically for work and included with your organization’s Microsoft 365 subscription at no additional cost. It uses the latest AI models and data from the web to answer questions, generate content and ideas, and find information. It’s also protected by enterprise-grade security, which means information used in chat conversations does not get exposed to the public.

Integrating Copilot Chat into daily workflows helps your organization build AI habits to boost productivity, preparing them for advanced scenarios with Microsoft 365 Copilot.

The Great Copilot Journey for Copilot Chat​

So, what’s the best way to get your organization using Copilot Chat regularly? We’ve found that sharing daily, effective prompt examples works best. Our research shows that 62% of surveyed users cite lack of time to learn as the primary hurdle to fully leveraging AI.

People are looking for quick and relevant tips for how they can use Copilot in their daily tasks. The frequency of those tips matter as well – we found that daily Copilot users are twice as likely to increase their usage within the next 60 days compared to those who only use Copilot weekly or monthly. Daily prompts keep Copilot top of mind for users, leading to longer-term adoption.

The Great Copilot Journey for Copilot Chat was designed with this in mind. The program provides the guidance and materials for you to share daily Copilot Chat prompts with users at your organization over the course of 30 days, encouraging them to explore Copilot’s capabilities while building it into a habit.

At Microsoft, we ran an internal pilot of the Great Copilot Journey with teams across various departments. Surveyed participants found the daily prompt examples to be both beneficial and motivating. After the program, participants were inspired to use Copilot more frequently, felt more confident and proficient in their use of Copilot, and believed that the fun, engaging nature of the prompts contributed to their continued usage.
