Completed

Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing how companies do business. Not only can it provide organizations with important insights, but it also helps streamline how individuals do their work. Microsoft’s Copilot uses AI to allow individuals to communicate their needs using natural language and provides them with relevant assistance based on the details they provide.

Copilot can be used throughout Dynamics 365 customer engagement applications. Copilot can help users easily retrieve information about their customers, and streamline things such as data entry and task completion.

Microsoft 365 Copilot in Dynamics 365 Sales capabilities

Dynamics 365 Sales Copilot is an AI assistant that helps sellers be more productive. From record summarization to helping prepare for meetings, copilot makes it easy for users to perform their day-to-day activities. Let’s look at some of the features that are available in Dynamics 365 Sales Copilot.

Record summarization

The Copilot in Dynamics 365 Sales record summarization feature provides a quick summary of your opportunity and lead records. Summaries are generated from the fields in the default opportunity or lead view. As users start typing the opportunity or lead name after the @ symbol, Copilot suggests records that match your search. Select the record for which you want a summary.

The following screenshot is an example of an opportunity summary generated by Sales Copilot:

Email assistance

Copilot is also used to help composing professional-looking emails, responding to emails, and get email follow-up reminders. Copilot uses natural language processing (NLP) algorithms to help create emails messages. You simply describe the email you want to create to Copilot, and it generates a draft email. The draft can be edited as needed before sending to a customer.

Microsoft 365 Copilot in Dynamics 365 Customer Service capabilities

In support scenarios, the faster that you can identify appropriate information about a case, the easier it can be to resolve the customer’s issue. Copilot in Dynamics 365 Customer Service helps organizations more effectively summarize data.

There are two primary elements related to summarization:

  • Summarize cases: Copilot case summaries help support agents quickly understand the context of a case and resolve customer issues more efficiently. The case summary includes key information such as the case title, customer, subject, product, priority, case type, and description.

  • Summarize conversations: Copilot conversation summaries provide context and relay the steps that you've already taken to solve the issue. You can summarize chat and transcribed voice conversations.

Microsoft 365 Copilot in Dynamics 365 Field Service capabilities

The initial release of Copilot in Dynamics 365 Field Service focuses on simplifying work order creation. Organizations that use the Dynamics 365 Field Service app for Outlook can easily create work orders directly from incoming emails. Copilot considers information in the email such as who it is from and what the customer is requesting. Copilot configures Field Service data and populates a suggestion for the field service work order record. Users can either accept the suggestion and create a work order, or they can modify the data and then create a work order. Either way, Copilot suggestions can reduce the amount of time that it takes to enter work orders in the system.

Microsoft 365 Copilot in Dynamics 365 Customer Insights – Journeys

In Dynamics 365 Customer Insights, Copilot can, for instance, help create customer journeys. An organization might want to create a welcome journey for people that recently joined your organization’s loyalty program. With Copilot journeys, you can describe the journey that you want to create or select from different examples. Copilot processes the prompt and responds with a journey suggestion that includes the automatically detected segment and each subsequent step clearly.
