What is Prompt Coach in Microsoft 365 Copilot?
Prompt Coach is an integrated agent within Microsoft 365 Copilot that helps you write better instructions—or prompts—for the AI. This tool analyzes what you write, suggests improvements, detects common mistakes, and even generates ready‑to‑use examples.
Where can you find Prompt Coach in Copilot?
If it’s not enabled yet, you can find it in the “All Agents” section within the Microsoft 365 Copilot environment. Simply search for Prompt Coach and add it to your workspace.
Benefits of using Prompt Coach to improve your prompts
Using an agent like Prompt Coach allows you to:
-
Write clearer and more precise prompts
-
Align your requests with AI best practices
-
Evaluate whether a prompt meets security and privacy criteria
-
Save time by generating reusable examples
How to write an effective prompt in Copilot
One of the most useful commands is: “How can I create an effective prompt?”
When you ask Prompt Coach, the AI provides an ideal structure based on the following elements:
Key elements of a good prompt:
-
Clear objective: What you want Copilot to do.
-
Context: Additional information that helps the AI.
-
Source: A document, website, or file as a reference.
-
Expectations: Output format or level of detail.
With this structure, you can guide the AI toward more useful and personalized results.
Analyze and refine your prompts with artificial intelligence
Another very interesting feature is “Analyze prompt”. You can enter a prompt you’ve already written, and Prompt Coach will highlight possible improvements, gaps, or ambiguity risks.
It will also help you verify that the prompt complies with internal security policies if you’re working in a corporate environment.
Generate ready‑to‑use prompt examples
Lacking inspiration? Prompt Coach can also generate several complete prompt examples. For instance:
“Create a marketing plan for a new mobile application, including market analysis, promotion strategy, and short‑ and long‑term objectives.”
The AI not only generates the prompt but also explains why it is effective: it includes the objective, the context, and what is expected from the result.
Why is it useful to learn how to create better prompts?
In a professional environment, a good prompt can be the difference between a useful answer and a confusing one. Using tools like Prompt Coach in Copilot allows you to:
-
Boost productivity across Microsoft 365 environments
-
Guide generative AI effectively
-
Optimize results in tasks such as writing, analysis, planning, and more
