WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.520 Today, we're looking at Copilot Cowork and moving 00:00:02.520 --> 00:00:05.839 beyond prompts and chatbots into agentic workflows. 00:00:06.040 --> 00:00:09.119 You can ask it on demand or schedule a long running 00:00:09.119 --> 00:00:12.380 activity. It's built in collaboration with Anthropix 00:00:12.380 --> 00:00:16.179 Cloud Cowork. It uses Microsoft's WorkIQ to access 00:00:16.179 --> 00:00:19.519 your data and contacts. It leverages Microsoft's 00:00:19.519 --> 00:00:22.399 security best practices. Copilot Cowork, here 00:00:22.399 --> 00:00:25.339 we go. So you're looking at my Microsoft 365 00:00:25.339 --> 00:00:29.789 Copilot app. You can then go to agentic. and 00:00:29.789 --> 00:00:33.469 then click on all agents. What this does is it 00:00:33.469 --> 00:00:36.490 puts you in the agent store and then all you 00:00:36.490 --> 00:00:40.630 do is search for cowork and you should then be 00:00:40.630 --> 00:00:42.609 able to see it. I'm gonna go ahead and select 00:00:42.609 --> 00:00:45.570 add. On the left hand side here, you see that 00:00:45.570 --> 00:00:48.770 Copilot cowork is there now. I can also pin it 00:00:48.770 --> 00:00:51.170 and then if I get tired of it for some reason, 00:00:51.210 --> 00:00:53.640 I can go ahead and uninstall it. i'm going to 00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:56.740 pin it at the moment in the beginning here you 00:00:56.740 --> 00:00:59.140 see this section that says what should we tackle 00:00:59.140 --> 00:01:02.340 next and there's a very familiar area for you 00:01:02.340 --> 00:01:05.260 to type in whatever you want and you can also 00:01:05.260 --> 00:01:07.500 change the formatting you can use your voice 00:01:07.500 --> 00:01:09.980 you can attach files and then we'll discover 00:01:09.980 --> 00:01:13.939 what this is as well so this one is the model 00:01:13.939 --> 00:01:16.890 sources and skills and when i select it Right 00:01:16.890 --> 00:01:20.650 now I can either select Sonnet or Opus 4 .6. 00:01:20.849 --> 00:01:23.709 Both of them are Anthropix cloud models. The 00:01:23.709 --> 00:01:26.230 other thing is if I select this plus icon, I 00:01:26.230 --> 00:01:30.129 can add work context. I can upload images from 00:01:30.129 --> 00:01:33.890 my hard drive or from my OneDrive as well. Now 00:01:33.890 --> 00:01:36.950 what I find interesting with adding work context 00:01:36.950 --> 00:01:41.150 is that not only in this all section do I have 00:01:41.150 --> 00:01:43.829 access to everything, but I can filter based 00:01:43.829 --> 00:01:46.859 on people that I work with. files that I have, 00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:50.659 meetings that I've attended, emails, chat messages, 00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:53.939 channels, and SharePoint sites. But then there's 00:01:53.939 --> 00:01:56.700 this section called skills, which is very cool 00:01:56.700 --> 00:02:00.920 because what this does is it gives Copilot Cowork 00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:05.459 skills to do things on your behalf. This is the 00:02:05.459 --> 00:02:09.180 big difference between Cowork and any other tool 00:02:09.180 --> 00:02:11.479 that we've had in the past. We kind of... have 00:02:11.479 --> 00:02:13.680 a little bit of this going on with the workflows 00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:16.719 agent that we did a video on, but that doesn't 00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:19.139 have quite as many skills as this does. And the 00:02:19.139 --> 00:02:22.719 architecture is also different. So this can read, 00:02:22.780 --> 00:02:26.500 create, manipulate PDF documents, Word, Excel, 00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:30.449 PowerPoint, calendar management. daily briefings 00:02:30.449 --> 00:02:34.129 meetings scheduling and communication and maybe 00:02:34.129 --> 00:02:36.169 we'll add even more skills where you can add 00:02:36.169 --> 00:02:38.750 your own skills in the future so that's to come 00:02:38.750 --> 00:02:41.449 in the future so there's a skill section and 00:02:41.449 --> 00:02:43.669 i do want to highlight that if i just went to 00:02:43.669 --> 00:02:47.330 a regular new chat in copilot chat and i selected 00:02:47.330 --> 00:02:50.490 the plus icon and adding work content you'll 00:02:50.490 --> 00:02:52.729 see people and files and meetings and emails 00:02:52.729 --> 00:02:55.469 and all this stuff but there's no skills so that's 00:02:55.469 --> 00:02:58.490 one huge difference between Copilot, Cowork and 00:02:58.490 --> 00:03:00.909 any other tool that we've had. Now, the other 00:03:00.909 --> 00:03:03.449 thing that is just kind of good to know is as 00:03:03.449 --> 00:03:05.490 always, you can just put in the slash command 00:03:05.490 --> 00:03:07.750 and then it brings up all these different menu 00:03:07.750 --> 00:03:10.729 items. And I noticed if I select PDF, there's 00:03:10.729 --> 00:03:13.710 actually a shortcut for it. Or if I select slash 00:03:13.710 --> 00:03:16.680 and skills and go to calendar. there's quicker 00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:19.319 ways of kind of letting copilot co -work know 00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:21.520 that this is what you want to actually use but 00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:23.479 what i've also found is you don't actually need 00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:26.039 to do the slash command it just figures out what 00:03:26.039 --> 00:03:28.080 it needs to use when so that's actually pretty 00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:31.960 cool now the other section here is it says get 00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:34.879 to work and there are actually four really cool 00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:38.330 examples that i encourage you to try out on your 00:03:38.330 --> 00:03:40.990 own we'll look at one of them and then finally 00:03:40.990 --> 00:03:44.590 this other section here is this tasks section 00:03:44.590 --> 00:03:46.909 which if you have a bunch you can just go ahead 00:03:46.909 --> 00:03:49.310 and see all and there's a couple that i've run 00:03:49.310 --> 00:03:51.650 recently so if there's something that you've 00:03:51.650 --> 00:03:54.250 done in the past the history shows up and if 00:03:54.250 --> 00:03:56.770 there's stuff that needs your attention or it's 00:03:56.770 --> 00:03:59.490 ongoing it also shows up here so instead of showing 00:03:59.490 --> 00:04:01.949 done it'll give you a different message all right 00:04:01.949 --> 00:04:04.490 so that's what it looks like now let's kind of 00:04:04.490 --> 00:04:07.770 test it out i found that if i select organize 00:04:07.770 --> 00:04:10.389 my inbox you'll see all the messages here right 00:04:10.389 --> 00:04:12.930 and one of the things you can always do is you 00:04:12.930 --> 00:04:15.490 can massage these and change them so this one 00:04:15.490 --> 00:04:19.129 says for the last 24 hours it's looking at all 00:04:19.129 --> 00:04:22.110 your emails you can say the last 30 days you 00:04:22.110 --> 00:04:24.329 can do whatever you want it's totally up to you 00:04:24.329 --> 00:04:28.110 now if i select organize my week is actually 00:04:28.110 --> 00:04:30.689 super cool the only change that i'll make here 00:04:30.689 --> 00:04:33.610 is that i'm going to specify albert einstein 00:04:33.610 --> 00:04:39.620 albert is my boss so I'll put that in there because 00:04:39.620 --> 00:04:42.519 Albert is critical he's my boss and with that 00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:44.420 we're just gonna go ahead and send this off and 00:04:44.420 --> 00:04:46.540 see what happened one of the first things you'll 00:04:46.540 --> 00:04:48.439 notice is that first of all you can show more 00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:51.379 and see the entire prompt next you'll see that 00:04:51.379 --> 00:04:54.279 it is thinking and as you expand it out this 00:04:54.279 --> 00:04:57.019 thinking process you can see a little bit more 00:04:57.019 --> 00:04:59.639 details about what it's doing you might have 00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:02.240 noticed that on the right hand side this detail 00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:05.250 section just popped up and you can see this progress 00:05:05.250 --> 00:05:09.509 of gathering contacts scanning my calendar and 00:05:09.509 --> 00:05:13.509 notice this section here on the skills it's decided 00:05:13.509 --> 00:05:16.089 that it's going to use this calendar management 00:05:16.089 --> 00:05:18.589 skill automatically so like i said you don't 00:05:18.589 --> 00:05:21.930 have to put slash and call out the skill it just 00:05:21.930 --> 00:05:24.230 figures it out so right now it's going through 00:05:24.230 --> 00:05:26.129 and looking at my calendar and see what it comes 00:05:26.129 --> 00:05:28.610 back with next By the way, I wanted to mention 00:05:28.610 --> 00:05:30.930 that at any point in time, you can select stop 00:05:30.930 --> 00:05:33.610 and then redirect it by typing in a different 00:05:33.610 --> 00:05:35.709 prompt. The other thing you can always do is 00:05:35.709 --> 00:05:37.629 you can leave, right? So don't feel like you're 00:05:37.629 --> 00:05:41.709 stuck on this page. You can leave, you can minimize 00:05:41.709 --> 00:05:44.209 the screen, you can go do something else, maybe 00:05:44.209 --> 00:05:46.550 use a researcher agent. It doesn't matter where 00:05:46.550 --> 00:05:48.610 you are in the app or if you minimize it and 00:05:48.610 --> 00:05:51.370 go away and come back. It's a cloud -based app. 00:05:51.470 --> 00:05:53.959 So now that you gave it that command, it's going 00:05:53.959 --> 00:05:57.000 to do its thing once you've left all you do is 00:05:57.000 --> 00:05:59.279 you select co -work again and it takes you to 00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:02.759 this main screen and notice that right now something 00:06:02.759 --> 00:06:06.569 is in progress which is our calendar review so 00:06:06.569 --> 00:06:09.149 now i'm going to select it and it'll just drop 00:06:09.149 --> 00:06:11.990 me back into where it is at the moment now in 00:06:11.990 --> 00:06:14.389 this section below you see these cards pop up 00:06:14.389 --> 00:06:17.230 and it says that before i propose any changes 00:06:17.230 --> 00:06:19.990 i have a few questions the first question is 00:06:19.990 --> 00:06:22.670 that because next week i'm doing this twins reunion 00:06:22.670 --> 00:06:25.980 or at least arnold is for wednesday to friday 00:06:25.980 --> 00:06:28.860 it says are you fully out or partially out or 00:06:28.860 --> 00:06:31.040 is it just a reminder that you're still actually 00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:33.480 working so i'm going to say i'm partially out 00:06:33.480 --> 00:06:35.660 i'm going to select next the second question 00:06:35.660 --> 00:06:38.300 is there's a meeting that i have tuesday that 00:06:38.300 --> 00:06:40.980 it ends at 8 p .m and it says should i flag it 00:06:40.980 --> 00:06:43.420 as too long it's a crunch week just keep it or 00:06:43.420 --> 00:06:45.980 move it to another day and i'm going to say flag 00:06:45.980 --> 00:06:48.639 it it's too long next question is what is this 00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:52.100 week's goal and i'm going to select ship a deliverable 00:06:52.509 --> 00:06:54.589 And then finally management styles, it gives 00:06:54.589 --> 00:06:56.449 you some options. You can also describe your 00:06:56.449 --> 00:06:59.269 own and I'm just going to select trim and optimize 00:06:59.269 --> 00:07:02.610 over here and select next. So with that feedback, 00:07:02.730 --> 00:07:06.470 if you notice what Copilot Cowork just did is 00:07:06.470 --> 00:07:10.060 it. looks at everything it analyzes it it uses 00:07:10.060 --> 00:07:12.680 different skills if it needs help then it'll 00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:14.980 ask you for your input then it goes back to work 00:07:14.980 --> 00:07:17.040 all right so it came back with some proposed 00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:20.519 changes ranked by impact so you can see it has 00:07:20.519 --> 00:07:23.459 highest impact high impact medium impact and 00:07:23.459 --> 00:07:26.379 so on this first one is to shorten tuesday's 00:07:26.379 --> 00:07:28.879 meeting and take it from five hours to three 00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:31.600 hours and it's telling me why it's good to do 00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:33.910 that then it's saying that there's a missing 00:07:33.910 --> 00:07:36.389 meeting with albert and it has albert's information 00:07:36.389 --> 00:07:39.069 here so it wants to fix that for me and then 00:07:39.069 --> 00:07:41.329 it wants to protect the real lunch break for 00:07:41.329 --> 00:07:44.230 me on tuesday which is medium impact and then 00:07:44.230 --> 00:07:45.990 there's some kind of a mystery meeting on my 00:07:45.990 --> 00:07:48.930 calendar which is no subject 6 a .m which is 00:07:48.930 --> 00:07:51.910 actually over here now if everything looks okay 00:07:51.910 --> 00:07:54.449 you can just tell it to execute and by the way 00:07:54.449 --> 00:07:58.170 if you notice it already has like the text that 00:07:58.170 --> 00:08:00.329 you should type it and all you got to do is you 00:08:00.329 --> 00:08:04.029 select tab and then it just fills it in so if 00:08:04.029 --> 00:08:06.050 everything looks good let's just go ahead and 00:08:06.050 --> 00:08:09.230 send it and now it's going to do its magic which 00:08:09.230 --> 00:08:11.990 is this integration to my calendar and teams 00:08:11.990 --> 00:08:14.269 and meetings and execute everything that it said 00:08:14.269 --> 00:08:17.149 it would for me now when it needs to take actions 00:08:17.149 --> 00:08:20.149 and it gives you these boxes over here and it 00:08:20.149 --> 00:08:22.769 wants to actually change this meeting this risk 00:08:22.769 --> 00:08:25.910 and safety And if it looks okay, then you have 00:08:25.910 --> 00:08:28.250 to select this blue box to update the event. 00:08:28.410 --> 00:08:30.490 And then it's having me create a meeting with 00:08:30.490 --> 00:08:34.070 Albert, a Teams meeting from 9 to 9 .30. I'm 00:08:34.070 --> 00:08:36.370 just going to select Create. Now it came back 00:08:36.370 --> 00:08:39.629 with a summary and it said that it made this 00:08:39.629 --> 00:08:42.429 meeting shorter, 3 to 6. And it created a one 00:08:42.429 --> 00:08:44.429 -on -one meeting with me and Albert. You can 00:08:44.429 --> 00:08:47.529 see how it's reorganizing everything based on 00:08:47.529 --> 00:08:50.480 your priorities. And if we go back to my calendar 00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:53.000 now, this meeting one -on -one with Albert, if 00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:55.879 I open it up, you can actually see that there's 00:08:55.879 --> 00:08:58.200 a Teams meeting and Albert's on the invite. So 00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:00.860 it took care of that for me. Now, just kind of 00:09:00.860 --> 00:09:03.840 going off on a tangent, I'm telling it that for 00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:06.559 my 9 a .m. with Albert, Albert had some feedback 00:09:06.559 --> 00:09:08.659 on my document that I'm going to attach here. 00:09:08.919 --> 00:09:10.980 And can you look at his feedback and help me 00:09:10.980 --> 00:09:13.220 fix it? So I'm going to go ahead and select this 00:09:13.220 --> 00:09:16.700 plus. And I'm going to go to attaching my cloud 00:09:16.700 --> 00:09:19.200 files. And then here's my magic carpet redesign 00:09:19.200 --> 00:09:22.440 document that I'm going to select. And I'm going 00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:25.460 to send this off. And you can see that it's actually 00:09:25.460 --> 00:09:28.039 using another skill over here. It's using this 00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:30.720 Word document skill. All right. So the document 00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:33.919 is updated and it's ready. And here's a summary 00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:36.539 of all the changes that it did around water resistance 00:09:36.539 --> 00:09:39.409 and waterproofing. And then this is the file 00:09:39.409 --> 00:09:42.029 and where it's saved. You can also see on the 00:09:42.029 --> 00:09:44.649 right hand side that this was the initial file, 00:09:44.769 --> 00:09:46.649 the input and then the output folder version 00:09:46.649 --> 00:09:50.230 two. So I can just simply select it and it'll 00:09:50.230 --> 00:09:52.769 show to me in here or I can actually go to the 00:09:52.769 --> 00:09:55.350 folder. And then here's a section on the weather 00:09:55.350 --> 00:09:58.820 resistant and waterproofing that it added. And 00:09:58.820 --> 00:10:01.220 then also I can just go ahead and X this. I'm 00:10:01.220 --> 00:10:03.059 just going to ask it to create a PowerPoint of 00:10:03.059 --> 00:10:05.379 the document to kind of showcase that. So I'm 00:10:05.379 --> 00:10:07.679 saying, can you create a PowerPoint of that document? 00:10:07.779 --> 00:10:09.879 Just five slides. And that, by the way, should 00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:12.279 invoke another skill, which is that PowerPoint 00:10:12.279 --> 00:10:14.500 skill. And so there it is. You can basically 00:10:14.500 --> 00:10:17.139 see that it's got this skill here and it added 00:10:17.139 --> 00:10:19.360 the PowerPoint skill. All right. So it's finished 00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:21.779 making the presentation and it says it's ready 00:10:21.779 --> 00:10:24.000 and it's right there. And it's giving me a summary 00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:26.580 of these five slides. And let's just go ahead 00:10:26.580 --> 00:10:29.019 and select it and take a look at it. Again, you 00:10:29.019 --> 00:10:32.019 can either open it inside Copilot Cowork or you 00:10:32.019 --> 00:10:34.399 can select these three dots and download it, 00:10:34.440 --> 00:10:37.639 open it in PowerPoint or open the location inside 00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:40.320 OneDrive. So this is what it looks like. Let 00:10:40.320 --> 00:10:42.399 me close the details here so we can have a look 00:10:42.399 --> 00:10:45.580 at it. The first slide was Advanced Flying Magic 00:10:45.580 --> 00:10:49.360 Carpet, AI Adaptive Flight System, Integrated 00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:52.220 Fabric, the Clean Energy Architecture and Passenger 00:10:52.220 --> 00:10:54.799 Safety Roadmap. So pretty cool looking slides. 00:10:55.220 --> 00:10:58.610 And we'll just wrap by saying, look, You have 00:10:58.610 --> 00:11:02.629 created this entire flow where you're analyzing 00:11:02.629 --> 00:11:05.990 your Outlook calendar and it's making suggestions 00:11:05.990 --> 00:11:09.409 based on your intent of what's important, asking 00:11:09.409 --> 00:11:12.710 you questions, making changes to your calendar, 00:11:12.929 --> 00:11:16.870 shrinking meetings, adding teams, adding invitations, 00:11:16.929 --> 00:11:19.529 and then you can kind of take it off on a tangent 00:11:19.529 --> 00:11:22.519 and say... create a document based on the emails, 00:11:22.740 --> 00:11:25.320 create a PowerPoint. And then finally, what I'll 00:11:25.320 --> 00:11:27.879 do here, just to kind of keep it going, I'll 00:11:27.879 --> 00:11:30.639 say something like, every day, check to see if 00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:33.059 I have communication from Albert about this project 00:11:33.059 --> 00:11:36.799 and notify on Teams about suggested next steps 00:11:36.799 --> 00:11:39.960 as soon as you can. So then this takes it from 00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:44.299 being chat oriented, action oriented. to the 00:11:44.299 --> 00:11:47.399 autonomous capabilities of it always living there 00:11:47.399 --> 00:11:50.679 in the background, monitoring, giving you suggestions, 00:11:51.299 --> 00:11:54.100 taking actions and so on. And it came back and 00:11:54.100 --> 00:11:57.440 it said that every morning at 8 a .m. my time, 00:11:57.559 --> 00:11:59.539 it's gonna run, it's gonna scan my emails and 00:11:59.539 --> 00:12:02.639 Teams, anything new about the magic carpet from 00:12:02.639 --> 00:12:05.379 Albert. And if he's reached out, he's gonna post 00:12:05.379 --> 00:12:08.000 a Teams message. Over here, we're just gonna 00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:11.019 go ahead and activate and run and just select 00:12:11.019 --> 00:12:16.750 that. And now this, is a scheduled activity from 00:12:16.750 --> 00:12:19.950 Copilot Cowork.
