Run daily briefing agents on trends, social activity and the economy

The chief transformation and technology officer of Singapore's National Trades Union Congress runs Microsoft 365 Copilot agents that brief him daily and help him prepare for meetings, as the union rolled Copilot out to about 1,300 staff.

What they did

He set up agents that deliver daily updates on technology trends, the union's own social media activity, and the economy and jobs. Before discussions he has Copilot summarize the agenda and gather background, and he uses it to research issues and sketch frameworks that his team turns into documents or slides. He also built a template agent on labor law and procedures to guide a future production version for officers.

How it went

Microsoft reports that about 93% of the union's staff now use Copilot and about 74% use it weekly, after a 50-person pilot in early 2025.

Worth knowing

He calls the output a first cut that is not fully accurate and must be checked by a person. The legal agent is a template, not yet in production, and no time savings are given for his briefings.
