Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has revealed how he uses GPT-5 within microsoft 365 Copilot to manage his day, make faster decisions, and keep track of complex projects. In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), Nadella shared the five AI prompts he relies on daily—and they’re a game-changer for workplace productivity.
1. Predicting Colleague Priorities
Prompt: “Based on my prior interactions with [/person], give me 5 things likely top of mind for our next meeting.”
- Copilot analyses past emails, chats, and discussions to predict what’s on a colleague’s mind.
- Nadella walks into meetings with a ready-made list of talking points—almost like having insider knowledge of the agenda.
2. Smart Project Updates
Prompt: “Draft a project update based on emails, chats, and meetings in [/series] – KPIs vs. targets, wins/losses, risks, competitive moves, plus likely tough questions and answers.”
- Instead of manually gathering data, Copilot does it in seconds—pulling key insights from multiple channels.
- It even anticipates difficult questions and provides potential answers, saving hours of prep work.
3. Product Launch Readiness Check
Prompt: “Are we on track for the [Product] launch in November? Check eng progress, pilot program results, risks. Give me a probability.”
- Copilot runs a real-time progress audit and delivers a probability score for success.
- A bold prompt that turns AI into a virtual COO, flagging potential delays before they become crises.
4. Time Audit for Better Focus
Prompt: “Review my calendar and email from the last month and create 5 to 7 buckets for projects I spend most time on, with % of time spent and short descriptions.”
- Nadella gets a data-driven breakdown of where his time goes.
- Perfect for leaders who want to refocus priorities and cut time-draining tasks.
5. Meeting Prep Like Never Before
Prompt: “Review [/select email] + prep me for the next meeting in [/series], based on past manager and team discussions.”
- Copilot consolidates previous conversations, ensuring Nadella is always one step ahead in meetings.
- No surprises, no scrambling—just seamless preparation.
What It Means for the Future of Work
These prompts show how GPT-5 isn’t just about writing emails faster—it’s about predictive insights, accountability, and sharper decision-making. If Nadella is using Copilot this way, expect a future where managers already know the answers before they ask the questions.
