Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI)-enabled prompting technologies have begun to produce more functional solutions for improving personal productivity and creativity by providing office software users with simpler information search and prompting commands. Prompt technologies that facilitate ways of accessing data and information sources from different systems aim to strengthen the effects of individual contributions to the improvement of business processes by contributing to the creation of more creative documents, presentations, e-mails and spreadsheets. Copilot is an AI-enabled prompting technology developed for this purpose. It is an assistant that enables users to reveal their more productive and creative sides with the features of gathering and transferring information and documents created in Microsoft 365 and other office applications. In this article, the basic components and functionality of the AI-supported Copilot prompt technology are introduced, and its individual and corporate effectiveness regarding the company processes is tried to be explained with an application. In the application process, it is aimed to support the decision processes of a national company operating in the e-commerce market on pet foods by processing the data of a national company operating in the e-commerce market with Copilot AI assistant integrated into Excel application.
