Work moves fast, and you need tools that help you stay productive, flexible, and focused. Microsoft 365 Copilot on your Surface device helps you accomplish more in less time—whether you’re writing, analyzing data, creating presentations, or collaborating with your team.
2+
3+
Imagine this: You have an important meeting coming up, and you need a polished presentation fast. You were up late preparing, so your hands are already cramping from typing. You’ve also realized that using more natural input methods helps you stay focused and think more clearly. With your Surface device, you can use the Surface Slim Pen 2nd Edition to annotate ideas, the Studio Microphone with Voice Clarity technology to dictate content, and Copilot to quickly generate, summarize, and refine your slides.

Microsoft 365 Copilot is an AI-powered assistant built into apps like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and OneNote. Copilot can help you:
2+
3+
- Draft and rewrite text
4+
- Summarize emails, documents, and data
5+
- Generate charts, tables, or slides
6+
- Refine content tone and style
7+
8+
Surface devices enhance this experience with flexible input methods: Pen, touch, voice dictation, and high-resolution displays. These capabilities let you interact naturally with Copilot in ways that suit your workflow.
9+
10+
### How they complement each other
11+
12+
Surface features make Copilot more intuitive and productive:
13+
14+
- Surface Slim Pen 2nd Edition: Handwrite notes or annotate slides directly; Copilot can interpret and transform them into polished content.
15+
- PixelSense touchscreen: Highlight, rearrange, or select content seamlessly while Copilot generates outputs.
16+
- Studio Microphone: Dictate content hands-free or give Copilot voice commands. Voice Clarity technology helps make your voice clear and more easily heard.
17+
- PixelSense display: Compare drafts, slides, or notes side by side.
18+
19+
> [!TIP]
20+
> On your Surface device, you can press Win + H to start dictation. Your spoken words are converted into text in apps like Word, PowerPoint, OneNote, or directly into Copilot’s prompt box.
21+
22+
![A photograph of a business professional uses the Surface Slim Pen 2nd Edition on a Surface device at a desk.](../media/write.jpg)
23+
24+
And Copilot helps enhance each Microsoft 365 app:
25+
26+
- PowerPoint: Generate slides from written prompts, restructure content, and refine designs.
27+
- Word: Draft documents, summarize, and polish text.
28+
- Excel: Analyze data, extract insights, and generate charts.
29+
- OneNote: Organize notes, create project outlines, and collaborate with others.
30+
31+
*Reflection: Think about tasks where typing slows you down. How could using Surface Slim Pen 2nd Edition and voice input with the Studio Microphone speed up your workflow and reduce fatigue?*
32+
33+
> [!NOTE]
34+
> Customers using Surface with Copilot see an average of 5.5 hours of higher productivity per device and benefit from more efficient use of AI-driven workflows.*

You have an upcoming leadership meeting, and you need to create a professional presentation quickly. Typing is slowing you down, so you want to use your Surface Slim Pen 2nd Edition and Studio Microphone to dictate ideas and annotate content while Copilot helps you refine slides.
2+
3+
### Step 1: Open PowerPoint and prepare Copilot
4+
1. Sign in to your Microsoft 365 account on your Surface.
5+
2. Open PowerPoint and create a new presentation.
6+
3. Launch Copilot:
7+
- Home Ribbon → Copilot sidebar
8+
9+
![A photograph of a business professional uses the Surface Slim Pen 2nd Edition on a Surface device while sitting on a couch.](../media/couch.jpg)
10+
11+
### Step 2: Dictate or write your main points
12+
1. Use the Studio Microphone to dictate your slide content.
13+
2. For ideas you want to refine or organize visually, write key points with the Surface Slim Pen 2nd Edition on the first slide.
14+
15+
### Step 3: Use Copilot to generate slides
16+
1. Prompt Copilot with natural language:
17+
*"Create a five-slide presentation for our leadership meeting. Include objectives, key updates, and next steps."*
18+
2. Copilot generates slides based on your prompts.
19+
20+
### Step 4: Annotate and refine slides with Surface Slim Pen 2nd Edition
21+
1. Use the Pen to highlight text or sections.
22+
2. Ask Copilot to rewrite highlighted content for clarity, tone, or conciseness.
23+
3. Repeat until slides match your intended message.
24+
25+
### Step 5: Use touch to rearrange content
26+
- Drag slides or text boxes with your finger or Surface Slim Pen 2nd Edition to adjust flow.
27+
- Highlight sections to have Copilot summarize or create bullet points.
28+
29+
### Step 6: Add finishing touches
30+
1. Use voice commands for quick adjustments:
31+
*"Change the title font to bold and larger size,"* or
32+
*“Summarize slide 3 in a single bullet point.”*
33+
2. Review slides, taking advantage of the high-resolution display to get a clear idea of how they'll present.
34+
35+
***Reflection:** Which combination of Surface Slim Pen 2nd Edition, and Studio Microphone felt most natural for your workflow? How much faster could you complete a presentation compared to typing everything?*
