Draft a mobile email just by describing it to Copilot Chat

Step 1: Describe the email's purpose and key pointsCopilot

Open Copilot Chat and speak or type the gist in plain terms — who it's going to, the two or three things it needs to say, and roughly how formal it should be — rather than trying to dictate the email sentence by sentence, which is exactly the one-handed typing problem this workflow is meant to avoid.

Step 2: Let it generate the draftCopilot

It creates an embedded Outlook draft directly in the chat, ready to open rather than requiring you to copy text manually.

Step 3: Open it in Outlook mobile and review before sendingOutlook

Read the full draft on the actual email screen — a quick glance in chat can miss a tone issue that's obvious once it's formatted as a real email.

Step 4: Edit anything that doesn't sound like youOutlook

Adjust phrasing that feels off before sending — this is a fast draft, not a guarantee it captured your exact voice.

Check the work

• The draft accurately reflects the key points you described.
• Tone fits the recipient and context, not just grammatically correct.
• You reviewed the full draft in Outlook, not just the chat preview, before sending.
