2-Week Live Bootcamp
Most people use Copilot like a chatbot. We'll show you how to turn it into an autonomous coworker that executes entire workflows while you focus on the work that actually matters.
6 live sessions. 2 weeks. You leave with a library of custom Skills running inside your M365 environment. No code required.
Join the BootcampTrusted by Microsoft 365 professionals across financial services, government, oil & gas, and consulting.
Beyond the Chat
Right now, you're manually prepping for meetings, triaging your inbox, building reports, chasing status updates, and formatting slide decks. You do it because "it's faster if I just do it myself." That was true when Copilot was just a chatbot. It's not true anymore.
Copilot Cowork is an autonomous agent inside Microsoft 365 that executes multi-step workflows across Outlook, Teams, Excel, Word, PowerPoint, and SharePoint. You describe what you need. It builds a plan, runs it step by step, and delivers finished output. You approve before anything sends.
How Cowork Executes a Task
You describe what you need
"Prep me for my meeting with Contoso tomorrow"
Cowork builds a plan
Searches emails, pulls calendar context, reviews Teams chats, checks SharePoint docs
Executes step by step
Creates a briefing doc in Word, builds a slide deck, drafts a follow-up email
You approve before anything sends
Review every email, meeting invite, and Teams message before it goes out
The Unlock
A Skill is a simple markdown file you drop into OneDrive. It tells Cowork exactly how to execute a specific task: what data to pull, what format to use, what rules to follow. No code. No developer. You write the instructions once, and Cowork follows them every time.
Email & Communications
Triage your inbox, draft responses, send stakeholder updates
Meeting Intelligence
Auto-prep briefs, summarize recordings, extract action items
Data & Dashboards
Build Excel reports, analyze trends, turn data into stories
Presentations
Generate slide decks from briefs, data, or meeting notes
Document Automation
Draft contracts, proposals, reports in your voice
Enterprise Search
Find anything across email, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams
Research & Analysis
Deep research across internal and external sources with citations
Workflow Automation
Chain skills together into multi-step pipelines
No code. No terminal. Just results.
You spend 8+ hours a day in Outlook, Teams, Excel, and Word. Conservatively, 3 of those hours go to work that follows the same pattern every time: prepping for meetings, formatting reports, chasing responses, compiling updates. That's 15 hours a week. 60 hours a month. Skills eliminate them.
That's because the chat window has no memory and no process. You paste the same context every time, get inconsistent results, and end up doing the work yourself anyway. Skills solve this. You define the process once. Cowork executes it the same way, every time, without you re-explaining anything.
Every repetitive workflow your team runs manually is a Skill waiting to be built. Meeting prep, weekly reporting, client onboarding, proposal drafts. Build one Skill per workflow, hand them to your team, and watch 5 people reclaim 3 hours each. That's 15 hours back per week from a single Skill.
The people who learn to build Skills now will have an unfair advantage for the next decade.
This is the highest-leverage no-code capability available inside Microsoft 365 today.
The 6 Sessions
All sessions are 60 minutes. Delivered live with replays available forever.
Session 1
Skip the 2 weeks most people waste figuring out setup. We'll get your Frontier access configured, your OneDrive folder structure built, and your first Cowork task running in under 60 minutes. You'll watch Copilot pull data from Outlook, Teams, and Word, then deliver a finished output.
You leave with: A working Cowork environment with your first automated workflow running.
Session 2
This is the session that changes everything. You'll build your first SKILL.md file from scratch, install it in OneDrive, and watch Cowork execute it. By the end of the hour, you'll understand why Skills make copy-paste prompting obsolete.
You leave with: Your first custom Skill built, installed, and running inside Cowork.
Session 3
You walk into 8 to 12 meetings a week underprepared because there's no time to review every email thread, every previous meeting note, every shared doc. This Skill does it for you. Automatically. Before every meeting on your calendar.
You leave with: A Meeting Ninja Skill that auto-preps briefs for every meeting on your calendar.
Session 4
Pick the one task you do every week that takes 45 minutes and feels like a waste of your talent. We'll turn it into a custom Skill together. By the end of the session, Cowork runs it without you.
You leave with: A custom Skill built for your specific workflow, running autonomously.
Session 5
Schedule your daily briefing to arrive at 8am. Your weekly report to generate every Friday at 3pm. Connect Cowork to Power Automate so it triggers actions across your entire M365 environment without you lifting a finger.
You leave with: Scheduled prompts running on autopilot and a Power Automate integration.
Session 6
The output of one Skill becomes the input of the next. Meeting notes feed into a project status report, which feeds into a client update email, which feeds into a calendar invite for next steps. One prompt. Complete deliverable.
You leave with: A fully chained Skill cascade that produces complete deliverables from one prompt.
Included Free

30 seats. May 4. Once they're gone, the next cohort is 8 weeks out.
Join the Bootcamp: $800P.S. Every week you spend doing meeting prep, inbox triage, and report formatting manually is a week you could have had a Skill doing it for you. The bootcamp is 6 hours of your time. The Skills you build will save you 10+ hours every week after that. The maths is simple.
P.P.S. You don't need to be technical. If you can write a bullet-point list of instructions, you can build a Skill. That's literally all it is.
