Use Copilot in Microsoft Edge to create compelling content

With Copilot in Microsoft Edge, you have a powerful ally at your fingertips, ready to assist you in crafting high-quality written material. Let’s explore how Copilot can transform your blog writing experience.

Select a topic

Choosing an intriguing and relevant topic is crucial to captivating your audience. Brainstorm potential topics that align with your blog's niche and target audience or ask Copilot for ideas around a specific subject. Input prompts like:

  • Give me blog topic ideas about the best restaurants in New York.
  • Provide blog topic ideas for activities to do at home with your kids when it’s raining.
  • Propose topic ideas for a blog about travel trips for a European excursion.

Choose your tone

The next step is to create your blog post’s tone based on your target audience and industry. Specify the tone you want Copilot to use in your prompt. Here are some suggestions:

  • Professional. Suitable for industry-specific or niche blogs, professional advice, or business-related topics, a professional tone is formal, authoritative, and direct.
  • Casual. A casual tone feels conversational, approachable, and relatable and is commonly found in lifestyle, personal development, or opinion-based blogs.
  • Enthusiastic. Typically used in personal development and motivational blogs, an enthusiastic tone is a great way to engage and energize your readers.
  • Informational. An informational tone uses straightforward language to educate readers in instructional, how-to, or educational blogs.
  • Funny. A humorous tone is light-hearted, funny, and entertaining and works well when used to discuss lighthearted topics like entertainment.

Refine, refine, refine

After you generate your first draft, the real work begins. This is your chance to make the post your own. AI will, literally, learn and get better over time, but for now, accuracy, timeliness, repetition, and style may need the help of a gentle human hand. Remember, you’re the author; AI is your very helpful assistant.

Improve readability

Scannable content is the best way to engage on-the-go readers and prevent them from leaving your page. If your blog is too wordy, look for opportunities to convert text into bulleted lists, consolidate points, and shorten sentences. You can even ask Copilot to shorten paragraphs for you.

Polish and share

Once your blog post is in a good spot, ask Copilot to proofread it before you publish and share with your audience. Promote the post through your usual channels, such as social media and email newsletters, and encourage readers to engage through comments and feedback.

With Copilot in Edge you can streamline your content creation process like never before. Try it today to take advantage of powerful AI creativity tools.
