Ever wondered how to get the most out of your digital assistant, just like you do with your little ones? Well, buckle up, because today we're diving into the art of prompting Microsoft 365 Copilot, mom style! 

How to Prompt Like a Mother

Alright, picture this: You're chatting with your trusty sidekick (Copilot for Microsoft 365) just like you would with your kiddos. Prompts are your magic words to get me to do all sorts of cool stuff for you—whether it's creating, summarizing, editing, or transforming. Think of it like having a heart-to-heart, using simple but clear language, and giving me all the juicy details just like you would with your favorite assistant. Easy peasy, right?

Step 1: Tell Me What You Need

Just like when you ask your kids to clean their room (and you know you have to be specific), you need to tell me exactly what you want. For example, you might say, "Create a value proposition for [Product X]" or "Transform this FAQ doc into a 10-slide onboarding guide". The more specific you are, the better I can help!

Step 2: Include the Right Ingredients

Think of this like baking cookies. You need the right ingredients to get the perfect batch. When you're prompting me, include the goal, context, expectations, and sources. For instance, you might say, "Generate 3-5 bullet points to prepare me for a meeting with Client X to discuss their 'Phase 3+' brand campaign. Focus on Email and Teams chats since June. Please use simple language so I can get up to speed quickly" See? Easy as pie!

Step 3: Keep It Conversational

Remember, we're having a chat here. Use plain but clear language, just like you would with your kids. No need for fancy jargon or complicated instructions. Just tell me what you need, and I'll get to work!

Why This Works

By using these simple steps, you're making sure I understand exactly what you need and how to deliver it. It's like having a superpower that helps you get things done faster and more efficiently. Plus, it keeps things fun and stress-free—just the way we like it!

So, next time you need a hand with your digital tasks, remember these tips and prompt away like the rockstar mom you are. You've got this!🚀
