Delighted to receive some brilliant feedback from the group:

💬 "Wow – I came with no knowledge on AI this morning, and now a new world has opened up."
💬 "Really useful – learnt a lot about AI which will help day to day at work and personal life."

💬 "Informative, good level of business relevant content."
💬 "Great enlightening content"
💬 "Definitely demystified the subject for me."

Set up AI to match your tone, style and preferences...and more (no more leverage, deep dive, elevate etc)!

Microsoft has rolled out custom instructions and memory features to Copilot to keep pace with ChatGPT!

In this short video, I walk through how to:

✅ Set up Copilot to match your tone, style and preferences (no more sounding like AI!)
✅ Store key facts like brand colours or project info using memory
✅ Make your outputs more relevant, personalised and useful

This brings Copilot closer to the experience we’ve had with ChatGPT but now fully integrated with your Microsoft 365 apps.
