- Learn how Copilot Cowork lets you delegate multi-step work across your apps. Describe a goal, review the plan, approve actions, and review the results — while you stay in control.
After completing this module, you'll be able to:
- Differentiate Copilot Chat, agents, and Cowork and choose the right AI tool for the shape of work in front of you.
- Recognize how Cowork's pay-as-you-go usage works, check what a task uses, and let model choice work in your favor.
- Describe how Cowork carries out multi-step work: from your request through planning, progress, approval, and results.
- Write effective requests that help Cowork produce useful, well-scoped results.
- Identify scenarios where Cowork adds the most value, such as meeting prep, calendar triage, company research, and launch planning.
- Recognize the security model that applies to Cowork and the known limitations to keep in mind as you work.
- Learn how to apply Copilot Cowork to everyday workflows — inbox and calendar triage, meeting prep and follow-up, and producing multi-app deliverables like reports, decks, and interactive dashboards — by describing outcomes and delegating multistep work.
After completing this module, you'll be able to:
- Recognize when to delegate work to Cowork instead of asking a chat assistant, and apply the "describe outcomes, not steps" mindset.

- Triage your inbox and reclaim your calendar with Cowork.
- Prepare for meetings and follow through across your apps.

After completing this module, you'll be able to:
- Distinguish between setting a task to run on its own and building a custom skill, and decide which to use.
- Set Cowork tasks to run on their own or on schedule like a Monday-morning briefing or in response to an event like an email arriving.
- Build reusable Cowork skills that capture a repeatable process or writing style.
- Describe how plugins and connectors extend Cowork into connected tools.
- Stay in control of automated work by approving sensitive actions, managing session permissions, and tracking what your scheduled tasks produce.
