Taking to X, Nadella said, "It's been a few weeks since we brought GPT-5 to Microsoft 365 Copilot, and it's quickly become part of my everyday workflow." He added, "It's adding a new layer of intelligence spanning all my apps." Nadella also revealed five specific prompts he finds especially useful when using GPT-5 with Copilot, along with video demos showing how the AI handles each one. Prompt 1: "Based on my prior interactions with [/person], give me 5 things likely top of mind for our next meeting." This allows Copilot to scan past conversations with a colleague and anticipate key talking points ahead of an upcoming meeting. Prompt 2: "Draft a project update based on emails, chats, and all meetings in [/series]: KPIs vs. targets, wins/losses, risks, competitive moves, plus likely tough questions and answers." Here, Nadella uses Copilot to pull together a detailed project update using various sources. It doesn't just summarise information; it offers insight, highlighting progress, risks, and potential challenges. Prompt 3: "Are we on track for the [Product] launch in November? Check eng progress, pilot program results, risks. Give me a probability." This prompt offers a clear view of whether a project is on schedule. Copilot reviews engineering updates, pilot outcomes, and risks, then gives a probability score. Prompt 4: "Review my calendar and email from the last month and create 5 to 7 buckets for projects I spend most time on, with % of time spent and short descriptions." Nadella uses this to understand how his time is divided. The AI looks through his schedule and inbox to group tasks into categories, with summaries and time allocations. Prompt 5: "Review [/select email] + prep me for the next meeting in [/series], based on past manager and team discussions." This meeting prep prompt pulls key details from a selected email and related team discussions, helping Nadella go into meetings well-informed. Nadella's insights not only showcase how GPT-5 supports productivity but also highlights how Microsoft's partnership with the Sam Altman-led company still remains strong, even as they pursue more independence from each other in a fast-evolving AI landscape.
