What is Copilot? - An enthusiastic intern, a talented editor, an amazing secretary, a graphic designer, a threat to our jobs

I’ve been trying lots of different ways to utilise Copilot in my day-to-day work with mixed success. As I try to hone how I use it I’ve found it helpful to ask myself “what should I treat Copilot as?”.

An enthusiastic intern: When I first got Copilot this is how I thought of it. It would produce anything I wanted, but I knew I’d have to check the accuracy of the work. However outputs were poor and to be blunt full of American corporate drivel and factual inaccuracies. Tips on grammar prompts on this page have helped, but the content was often so far from the required standard it was more efficient to treat the output as inspiration for overall structure and to write without Copilot.

A talented editor: Like others I have found Copilot brilliant for making my writing more concise. Edited docs do require proof reading to ensure they make sense and are still accurately and clearly getting the key points across.

An amazing secretary: It’s ability to produce summaries, pull out actions from Teams and Outlook into a table, and find documents is fantastic.

A graphic designer: I have tried to use Copilot to create images for presentations. A first glance images seem okay, but on inspection contain oddities such as the tiny keyboard in this image. I find image generation works best when discuss the image in a chat first and then ask for the image, rather than asking for an image first and trying to iterate it.

A threat to our jobs: As someone who works in policy development the AI policy is clear that AI should not be used to inform policy decisions so my job is safe from AI for now! Copilot also has quite some way to go in being able to reliably and accurately conduct data analysis.

How should I think of Copilot going forward: For me I find Copilot works best as an editor and a secretary but I’d be interested in hearing others’ views and ideas for other ways I should think of Copilot.

🎭 What’s the Hack?

You can use Co-pilot to simulate personas—like a sceptical stakeholder, a time-strapped manager, or that one colleague who always finds the bug in your logic. You feed Co-pilot the context, tone, and personality traits, and boom: it roleplays the part like an Oscar-worthy AI.

Just say for example:

“Co-pilot, act like my manager for the remainder of our conversation. He’s busy, blunt, and allergic to anything that doesn’t make sense. Go.”

And suddenly, you’re in a full-blown rehearsal with an AI that’s giving Leonardo Di Caprio a run for his money.

🧪 Why It Works

Method Acting, but for Meetings: Co-pilot doesn’t just pretend—it embodies the persona. You’ll get realistic reactions, tough questions, and the occasional passive-aggressive “interesting approach…” Safe Space to Flop: Forget stage fright. You can stumble, restart, or go full Shakespeare—Co-pilot won’t judge. Versatile Cast: Need a curious intern? A risk-averse finance lead? A visionary CTO? Co-pilot’s got range. It’s basically the Meryl Streep of AI.
