Copilot Made Practical: From Prompts to Repeatable Workflows

Presented by Bulb Digital & Tech Week Grand Rapids

‍

A lot of people try Copilot once or twice, get something mildly helpful, and then it doesn’t really change how work gets done. The issue usually isn’t access; it’s that Copilot is being used as a one‑time helper instead of a repeatable part of your workflow.

​In this session, we’ll make Microsoft 365 Copilot feel clear and usable, without hype, and without needing to be “an AI person.” We’ll start with a simple mental model: Copilot works best when you treat it like a capable assistant, giving it context, delegating tasks, then reviewing and refining the output with your own judgment.

​You’ll learn practical patterns you can apply immediately across the Microsoft tools you already use (like Teams, Outlook, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint), so Copilot becomes a habit, not a random experiment.

​Attendees will leave with:

• ​Reusable prompt examples they can adapt for real work
• ​A simple daily Copilot routine that reduces friction and builds confidence
• ​Clarity on “web vs. work” Copilot (what’s safe/appropriate where)
• ​A practical approach to turning AI output into deliverables through review + iteration

​Note: This is not a product training session. It’s a practical, real‑world approach to using Copilot well at work.
