A Day in the Life of an Executive with Copilot

October 23, 2024

Mornings come fast when you're leading a product marketing team, especially when you’re on the road. For Jamie, today starts in a hotel room with a customer call scheduled for 7:00 AM sharp. But even with jet lag creeping in and coffee brewing in the background, Jamie is more than ready—thanks to a recent copilot adoption workshop.

7:00 AM: Navigating Tough Conversations

The customer call kicks off with pleasantries, but it’s not long before the real issue surfaces—a delayed delivery that's stirring frustration. Normally, handling this would be a tightrope walk, requiring Jamie to read between the lines and stay sharp. But not today.

Copilot is already one step ahead. While Jamie listens, Copilot keeps a silent watch, scanning the conversation for tension points. At the right moment, Jamie taps into his AI assistant with a quick prompt: "What are some good follow-up questions to make sure I understand the customer’s issue with the last delivery?"

Suggestions appear instantly, giving Jamie the right questions to ask. The conversation shifts, misunderstandings are cleared, and what could have been a tricky situation is handled with finesse. Jamie hangs up, satisfied that Copilot has once again helped him hit the mark.

8:30 AM: Emails on Autopilot

Post-call, Jamie shifts focus to another daily mountain—emails. The inbox is packed, but instead of feeling overwhelmed, Jamie cracks his knuckles, knowing that with Copilot, this is going to be a breeze.

“Reply in a professional tone with a short email saying that I am sorry for the issue with the product and we will have a response by 3 pm this afternoon.”

In seconds, Copilot generates a perfectly toned response. Jamie scans it, makes a minor tweak, and sends it off. Email after email, the process is streamlined, freeing him up to get through his inbox in just 20 minutes—leaving room to breathe. Without Copilot, that could’ve easily swallowed an hour or more of precious time.

9:00 AM: Missed Meetings? No Problem

A few extra minutes before the next task gives Jamie a chance to catch up on meetings he missed while flying in. Normally, trying to piece together conversations from a string of emails, chat logs, and meeting notes would take up half his morning.

Not today. Copilot, ever the efficient partner, condenses it all: "What was the main issue faced by the customer and what was the proposed solution and timing?"

Boom. The key points pop up like a neatly packaged briefing, giving Jamie just what he needs to shoot out instructions to the team and move on. Time saved, crisis averted.

2:00 PM: A Speech with Spark

By mid-afternoon, Jamie’s back from a marathon of customer site meetings. With tomorrow’s presentation looming, it’s time to review his speech. But who has the energy to craft new sections after hours of back-to-back discussions?

Copilot does.

"Add a new paragraph based on Digital Bricks Bonus Plan for FY23."

Like magic, the new section appears, perfectly aligned with the rest of the speech. Jamie doesn’t need to rewrite it—just a quick skim, and he’s ready to roll. Copilot’s intuitive updates let him focus on the finer details without drowning in the minutiae.

3:00 PM: Crisis Mode, Handled

Just as things seem to be winding down, a production issue crops up—one of those problems that demands immediate attention. In a flash, Jamie is back in action, but he can’t afford to sift through hundreds of emails and chats.

"Summarize all of the email and chats that mention the melt shop from the past two hours."

Within moments, Copilot pulls together everything relevant. No fluff, no unnecessary back-and-forth—just a concise breakdown of the issue, the discussions surrounding it, and proposed next steps. Jamie is now fully in the loop and can provide guidance without missing a beat.

7:00 PM: Wrapping Up with a Smile

As the day winds down and the crisis subsides, Jamie revisits his speech for tomorrow. The content is solid, but something’s missing from the introduction—it needs a touch of humor to win over the crowd.

“Give me some suggestions of humorous ways to begin this speech.”

Copilot throws out a few light-hearted ideas. Jamie picks one, adds his personal spin, and voilà—the perfect opening line is ready to go. What started as a task Jamie was dreading now feels like a creative win, thanks to his AI co-pilot.

In a role as dynamic as Jamie’s, where time is scarce and decisions are constant, Copilot is the ultimate ally. It’s not just about handling tasks faster—it’s about handling them smarter. Copilot turns the stress of juggling emails, meetings, and crises into manageable moments of productivity. And while Jamie’s leadership and expertise drive the business forward, Copilot ensures he never misses a beat, giving him more space to focus on what really matters.

With AI like Copilot in your corner, the day doesn’t just flow better—it flows smarter.
