Copilot

Email coaching

A Copilot feature in Outlook that reviews your draft email before you send it and suggests improvements to tone, clarity and how the reader is likely to feel.

Email coaching reviews a draft you wrote Your draft goes to Coaching by Copilot, which looks at tone, clarity and the reader's feeling; you then apply all suggestions or edit it yourself. Your draftwritten by you Coaching by Copilot Tone Clarity Reader's feeling Apply all suggestions Or edit it yourself It sees only this draft, not your mailbox

Email coaching gives feedback on an email you wrote yourself. You write the message as usual, select the Copilot icon on the toolbar and choose Coaching by Copilot. It flags points on tone, clarity and the reader's likely reaction. You can select Apply all suggestions to have Copilot regenerate the message, or make your own edits based on what it flagged.

Coaching only sees the draft in front of you, not your mailbox history. It works with work or school accounts and with personal Microsoft accounts on outlook.com, hotmail.com, live.com or msn.com; a Gmail, Yahoo or iCloud address in Outlook gets no Copilot features. On Mac, only the latest Outlook version supports it. Use it to catch a tone you did not intend, not to replace your own judgement about what to say.

Often confused with: Draft with Copilot. Drafting writes the email for you from a prompt; coaching reviews an email you already wrote and leaves the decisions to you.
