This episode tracks how Manbhawan Prasad and the Word team are evolving Copilot from simple prompt-based help to goal-based “agent mode” that can plan and edit documents directly. You will hear practical, enterprise-focused examples: using SharePoint knowledge as authoritative context, reducing blank-page inertia, mirroring customer language from emails and meeting transcripts, and using AI as an always-on reviewer for structure, clarity, and accuracy.

🎙️ What you’ll learn
• Shift from instruction prompts to goal-based document creation with “agent mode” in Word.
• Build a SharePoint “knowledge vault” so Copilot can draft with authoritative business context.
• Use retrieval (RAG-style grounding) to write specs and proposals from internal files, emails, chats, decks, and meetings.
• Improve proposals by mirroring a customer’s terminology pulled from email threads and meeting transcripts.
• Apply Copilot as a reviewer to spot gaps, inconsistencies, and missed requirements across long documents.
