Multimodal AI at Work
Five lessons · text, slides, images, meetings, workflows
Copilot works across text, slides, images, and meeting content — but each modality behaves differently. Using the wrong input type is one of the fastest ways to get confident, unhelpful output.
Lessons
- 01 Text, Slides, Images, Meetings — What Each Is For
When to use documents, decks, images, and transcripts — and what each does best.
- 02 When Text and Visuals Agree (and When They Do Not)
Keep headlines, bullets, and source docs telling the same story.
- 03 Spot Fusion Failures Before You Present
When combined formats imply a story none of your sources support.
- 04 Use One Source to Create Another Format
Brief to deck, notes to email, transcript to actions — with explicit format rules.
- 05 Build One Multimodal Workflow
Chain modalities with verification gates between steps.
Five lessons on choosing modalities, alignment between text and visuals, fusion failures, cross-format creation, and building one multimodal workflow for your role.
Begin Lesson 1Lessons read in approximately 20–30 minutes each. Practice in Word, PowerPoint, Teams, and Copilot Chat is the point.

You do not need to understand model architecture. You need to know what to attach, what to verify, and when two formats tell different stories.
