Creating a flow with Copilot
Writing a good prompt is more than just being clear or describing how you want the results to look—it’s also about giving Copilot enough context to understand exactly what you’re trying to do. Copilot encourages experimentation. You can test different versions of your prompt to see which one gets the best results. If your first attempt doesn’t quite hit the mark, adjust your wording and try again. It’s important to note that Copilot is a generative AI tool—it’s probabilistic (as opposed to code that is deterministic). This means that even if you and I enter the same prompt, we may get slightly different results—it’s the nature of what generative AI is.
To get the best results, follow these tips:
- Use the “When X happens, do Y” format: This helps Copilot clearly understand the trigger and the action
