Microsoft Copilot can now suggest the best format for your content

Microsoft today announced the rollout of “Help Me Create,” a new feature within its Microsoft 365 web app designed to enhance productivity. This innovative tool leverages Copilot’s generative AI capabilities to suggest the most suitable application and format for user-defined content ideas.

“Help Me Create” eliminates the guesswork of selecting the right app for specific content types. Users simply describe their content goal, whether it’s a research paper, presentation, marketing list, or even a fun icebreaker quiz. The AI-powered tool then recommends the optimal Microsoft 365 software and provides an initial content draft for further refinement.

In line with Microsoft’s commitment to robust data practices, “Help Me Create”, like Copilot, adheres to rigorous standards for security, compliance, and privacy.
