2/ Streamline communication in Outlook

So what: Improved context understanding and email response times.
3/ Better data analysis in Excel
Efficiently analyse and explore your data with Copilot.

7/ Empower leadership with Copilot in Viva Engage
I'll be honest—I'd never heard of Viva before.
But it looks useful to:
• Get conversation starters
