Copilot. The Advanced Workplace Guide: Think Deeper, Cross-App Workflows, Copilot Studio, and Enterprise Deployment (en Inglés) - Ken Tannenbaum

You already know how to use Microsoft Copilot. This book turns you into the person who builds the workflows everyone else uses.

You have had the conversations, drafted the emails, summarized the documents. You are past "what is this thing?" and into "how do I get more out of it - and how do I deploy it across my team without it becoming a security incident?"

This book answers both questions.

Copilot: The Advanced Workplace Guide is the power-user and admin follow-up to Copilot: The Workplace AI Guide. It moves past the buttons and the basic prompts and into the architecture: how Copilot actually grounds responses in your organization's data, how to design prompts that exploit that architecture, how to build agents in Copilot Studio that do real work, and how to roll Copilot out at scale without losing control of your data.

What's inside:

The power user mindset. Why most Copilot users plateau, the three levels of Copilot use (consumer, practitioner, architect), and how the OpenAI partnership, Microsoft Graph, and Semantic Index combine into a platform that no other AI tool can match inside the enterprise.

Advanced prompt engineering for M365. Structural prompting techniques tuned to Copilot's grounding behavior, format control across Word/Excel/PowerPoint output, Think Deeper reasoning control, and multi-turn conversation orchestration including Copilot Pages as persistent workspaces.

Power workflows for every M365 app. Production-grade Word document workflows, advanced Excel analysis (including Python in Excel), data-driven PowerPoint, Outlook and Teams communication mastery, and cross-app pipelines that chain Excel → Word → PowerPoint → Outlook into end-to-end automation.

Agents and automation. Built-in Copilot actions, autonomous multi-step workflows, the computer use tool for desktop and web automation, and multi-agent orchestration. Plus a full chapter on Copilot Studio: building custom agents, connecting to SharePoint and Dataverse, plugin and connector ecosystems, Agent 365 governance, and publishing agents into Teams.

Microsoft Graph and Semantic Index. How Copilot accesses organizational data, how indexing and grounding actually work, and how to maximize answer quality by structuring the data Copilot sees.

Enterprise deployment, security, and governance. Licensing strategy, admin center configuration, phased rollouts, change management, and ROI measurement. The Copilot Control System, DLP integration, data residency, audit logs, and compliance certifications.

GitHub Copilot for advanced developers. The five-tier 2026 pricing model, multi-model support across GPT-5.4, Claude, and Gemini, Copilot Workspace, agent mode, code review, secret detection, and where GitHub Copilot fits next to Claude Code and ChatGPT.

Mastery frameworks. Decomposition, expert panel, adversarial, and Socratic frameworks. Verification at scale. Teaching others. The Copilot champion role. Evaluating Microsoft's relentless release cadence without burning out.

50 power-user prompt patterns, Copilot Studio agent templates, an admin and IT quick reference, and a glossary of advanced terms.

If the Workplace AI Guide showed you how to use Copilot, this book shows you how to make Copilot a load-bearing part of how your organization works.

Includes coverage of GPT-5.4 Thinking, Copilot Studio, Microsoft Graph, Semantic Index, Copilot Pages, the Copilot Control System, computer use tool, Agent 365, GitHub Copilot's 2026 tiers, and every advanced feature shipped through May 2026.
