Start your AI Transformation with Microsoft Copilot

Yahya Zakir Sait ran this one-hour webinar for organisations taking their first steps with AI in Microsoft 365. It had two parts: the Microsoft 365 features teams often under-use, and what Microsoft Copilot adds on top of them.

The first part covered advanced Microsoft 365 capabilities that make the later AI work easier, such as keeping files in OneDrive and SharePoint rather than on local drives, and running meetings and chat in Teams. The second part looked at Copilot use cases across industries: drafting and rewriting in Word and Outlook, summarising meetings in Teams, analysing data in Excel and building presentations in PowerPoint.

The practical takeaway for a Gulf business: Copilot answers from the documents, mail and meetings a user can already access, so the quality of its help depends on how well content is organised and shared. Clean up file storage and permissions, then pilot Copilot with a small group before rolling it out widely.
