Microsoft 365 Copilot is quickly becoming a core tool for law firms and legal departments, helping professionals draft documents, summarize meetings, and analyze information more efficiently.
Still, not every task is suited to quick answers.
Many tasks need deeper analysis, structured reasoning, and specific guidance. Microsoft designed Copilot’s Think Deeper feature for these scenarios.
What Is the Think Deeper Feature in Microsoft 365 Copilot?
Think Deeper lets Microsoft 365 Copilot spend extra time analyzing a request. Instead of focusing on speed, Copilot creates detailed, structured answers.
This added depth becomes especially valuable when addressing complex questions or tasks that involve multiple considerations, connecting Copilot’s capabilities to real-world needs.
Think Deeper can be useful when you are:
- Planning a project or initiative
- Evaluating different approaches or options
- Working through complex or multi-step problems
- Requesting analysis or structured explanations
When you let Copilot analyze more deeply, you get clearer direction and better insights.
What to Expect When Using Think Deeper
When you use Think Deeper, Copilot responses typically offer:
- More thoughtful and well-developed answers
- Improved handling of complex or layered questions
- Clearer explanations and supporting reasoning
- Suggested next steps to move work forward
Copilot responses may take a bit longer because it spends more time analyzing your request. This extra time leads to more comprehensive, structured results.
Use Think Deeper to shift from fast answers to reliable, thoughtful guidance for tasks that need deeper thinking.
How to Use the Think Deeper Feature in Copilot
To activate Think Deeper:
- Open Microsoft 365 Copilot.
- Select the Auto dropdown menu.
- Choose Think Deeper before entering your prompt.
- Enter your question or task request.
Copilot will analyze your prompt longer and then provide a more structured, comprehensive response.
