My new favorite Copilot Prompt:

“Summarize my emails, Teams messages, and channel messages from the last workday. List action items in a separate column. If possible, suggest follow-up actions in a separate column. The table should look as follows: Type (Mail/Teams/Channel) | Topic | Summary | Action Item | Follow-up Action. If I was mentioned directly, please make the font of the topic bold”

Result:
