Episode notes
Start With User Jobs Not Hype
- OneDrive teams started by asking what users actually need and where AI can meaningfully help.
- Narrowing AI to high-value jobs avoids getting lost in hype and delivers real user benefit.
Time Scarcity Drives AI Priorities
- Research of ~30,000 people found 64% lack time to do the work they care about.
- This time pressure shaped OneDrive's AI focus on reducing information overload.
Ask Natural Questions, Not Filters
- Use Copilot to ask natural-language questions instead of crafting complex search queries.
- Let Copilot reason over your OneDrive and SharePoint content to get direct answers and follow-ups.
