Enhance productivity with Copilot for Office 365
Copilot is an AI-driven tool designed to boost productivity by automating tasks within Microsoft 365, allowing employees to focus on more strategic work.
Copilot can automatically summarize information from emails, notes and meeting transcripts, search information and create draft documents for employees to work on.
While incredibly fast, Copilot does not automatically apply company document guidelines, standardized information or best-practice writing style. The tool requires control to ensure business critical documents are compliant, consistent, repeatable, and meet company standards and guidelines.
Templafy and Copilot for Office 365: Productivity meets compliance
Copilot and AI-driven document automation are already reshaping business operations such as sales and content creation. However, employees generating business-critical content with AI currently face risks from lack of control.
Companies struggle with several issues, including:
- Unreliable outputs
- Brand consistency
- Data privacy
- Intellectual property infringements
- Liability
- Cybersecurity and regulatory compliance
Although Microsoft’s Copilot does well in these areas, it is not self-sufficient. When it comes to centralized control and governance around document creation, Templafy mitigates the risks related to quality of the output and control over standardized information in business-critical documents.
We’ve partnered with Microsoft Copilot for Office 365 to offer a seamless and powerful document generation and automation solution for enterprises. The integration transforms how businesses manage and create documents, driving efficiency and accuracy by adding the required elements of control and consistency.
“As we step into a new era, AI is revolutionizing productivity for every individual, organization, and industry worldwide. That is why we are excited to be partnering with Templafy, whose leading document generation platform harnesses the power of Copilot to propel its users toward unprecedented achievements with AI.“
