Here are some real-world ways you can use AI’s speech function to save time, get insights faster, and work smarter.

🚗 1. Getting Answers While Driving

Ever been in the car and suddenly thought, “I need to research this later”? Instead of waiting, ask AI right then and there.

💡 Example:
❓ “Copilot, can you explain what an SDR does in sales?”
✅ AI: “An SDR, or Sales Development Representative, is responsible for prospecting and qualifying leads before handing them to the sales team…”

🎤 2. Summarising Meetings Instantly

Just finished a meeting and need to process what was said? AI can help clarify key points and provide insights.

💡 Example:
❓ “I just had a meeting about AI security risks—can you summarise the biggest challenges businesses face?”
✅ AI: “Sure! The biggest AI security challenges include data privacy, AI bias, and ensuring compliance with cybersecurity regulations. Would you like a breakdown of each?”

🤔 3. Understanding Complex Topics Instantly

AI can explain anything, making it great for quick learning while multitasking.

💡 Example:
❓ “Can you explain what zero-trust security means in simple terms?”
✅ AI: “Zero-trust security is an approach where no one is automatically trusted inside or outside the network. It verifies everyone’s identity before granting access.”

📚 4. Learning on the Go

Have you ever had a random business question but didn’t have time to look it up? AI can act as an instant knowledge source.

💡 Example:
❓ “What are the best leadership books for first-time managers?”
✅ AI: “Here are three: The First 90 Days by Michael Watkins, Radical Candor by Kim Scott, and Dare to Lead by Brené Brown. Want a summary of each?”

📊 5. Generating Business Ideas in Real-Time

Need inspiration for a new project, marketing campaign, or strategy? Brainstorm with AI as you think out loud.

💡 Example:
❓ “I need ideas for a cybersecurity awareness campaign for small businesses.”
✅ AI: “Here are five: 1) ‘Think Before You Click’ phishing awareness campaign, 2) Monthly security tip emails, 3) Interactive cybersecurity training, 4) A ‘Strongest Password’ contest, 5) Partnering with a security expert for a webinar.”

⏳ 6. Answering ‘I Should Google This’ Questions

We all have those quick but important questions that we mean to Google later but forget. Now, just ask AI.

💡 Example:
❓ “What’s the difference between Copilot and ChatGPT?”
✅ AI: “Microsoft Copilot is built into Microsoft tools like Word and Excel, helping users work smarter within those apps. ChatGPT is a standalone conversational AI for broader knowledge and creative tasks.”

🧠 7. Rewording and Improving Messages

Struggling to phrase something clearly and professionally? Ask AI to rewrite or improve your message.

💡 Example:
❓ “Can you rewrite this email in a more professional tone? ‘Hey team, just a heads-up, we’re changing the process for submitting expenses.’”
✅ AI: “Certainly! ‘Hi Team, just a quick update—our process for submitting expenses is changing. I’ll share full details shortly, but please feel free to ask if you have any questions in the meantime.’”
