Microsoft Copilot Prompt Generator

Microsoft recommends that Copilot prompts state a Goal, give Context, name the Source to use and set Expectations. Every generated prompt follows that order.

Every prompt is built from the same modular parts — role, task, context (your audience and details) and output format — then rendered in the style each AI follows best. Change the AI in the drop-down and the same request is rewritten instantly.

• Microsoft recommends four parts: Goal, Context, Source and Expectations.
• In Microsoft 365 Copilot, type / to reference your own files so answers are grounded in them.
• Ask for output you can paste straight into Word, Outlook or PowerPoint.

Choose a prompt type for your task; each comes with an expert role, context rules and an output format:

• Write anything — for example “a blog post about the benefits of remote work”.
• Summarise & analyse — for example “the meeting transcript I'll paste below”.
• Brainstorm ideas — for example “20 names and taglines for a new coffee subscription brand”.

Example output for Microsoft Copilot:
