How capable is CoPilot really
I am 1 week into using Copilot.
I got ambitious and asked it to do the following.
After defining 5 projects in detail including Name, Due Dates, Effort; I asked copilot to find all the relevant information on these projects which were all very recent and then perform the following tasks.
1. Create OneNote pages for each project with detailed notes, links, images and ideas for each project.
2. Block out my calendar in 2 hour blocks with some other restraints to complete the projects on time.
CoPilot managed to impressively fail in all of this.
All I got was a reworded, rehash of what I had already told it basically so I can go and do the work myself.
I then thought it was the way I had written the prompt and trying both CoPilot and then ChatGPT 4 to write me a suitable prompt, I generally got even worse results.
I then simply tried to get a summary of information on one of my projects written into a OneNote page, I did this through Copilot in OneNote and I got the following response…
“I’m sorry, but I am not able to access your emails or SharePoint. I am a chat-based AI Assistant and my capabilities are limited to the chat box. Is there something specific you are looking for that I can help you with.”
Right now, CoPilot seems about as useful as Siri!! Apart from word salad it cannot seem to produce anything of use?
I really hope it is just me, as I really want to get the most out of it, but already feeling like I spent $500+ on 12 months of frustration.
