Start with what is already known
A useful plan starts with the times and activities that cannot easily change. For example:
- Work starts at 9:00 AM
- A class ends at 1:00 PM
- An appointment begins at 2:00 PM
- The bus leaves at 3:30 PM
- An assignment is due tomorrow
A person can provide these details to Copilot:
I work from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM. I have an appointment at 2:00 PM. It takes 30 minutes to get there. I also need time for lunch. Help me plan my day.
Copilot might respond:
- 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM: Work
- 12:00 PM to 12:30 PM: Lunch
- 12:30 PM to 1:15 PM: Free time
- 1:15 PM: Leave for the appointment
- 2:00 PM: Appointment
The person should check the travel time and appointment details. Copilot does not know whether traffic, transportation, or other parts of the plan have changed.
