Conversational Interface

Copilot's conversational interface is crafted to streamline your workflow with intuitive communication. At your fingertips in the Copilot side sheet, you'll find three key tabs: New, Shortcuts, and History.

New Tab

Jumpstart conversations with Copilot by sending new prompts or revisiting recent chats. Quick links to shortcuts and past chats enhance your efficiency.
​

  • Send a Message: Send Copilot a new prompt (e.g., "Help me draft an email to John Smith to remind him about finishing his application")

  • Recent Chat: View a brief recent prompt/chat history

  • See All Past Chats: Opens the History tab

  • Try Out Shortcuts: Links to a few general shortcuts

Shortcuts Tab

Use a shortcut to get information or perform an action quickly without typing a prompt.

You can use the search bar to find a shortcut using keywords or review the shortcut listing, which is divided into three categories:

  • General: Popular and generic shortcuts

  • User: Shortcuts pertaining to you or another internal Element451 user

  • Contact: Shortcuts pertaining to students or other external Element451 users

Contact shortcuts are context-aware, meaning when viewing a specific contact's profile record and having the Copilot side sheet open, the user name will pre-populate when you select a shortcut.

A list of the shortcuts and the associated actions is located in the next section.

History Tab

View your prompt/chat history to continue a previous conversation with Copilot.

  • To open a previous chat, click on the conversation preview bubble.

  • To delete a previous chat, hover your cursor over the conversation preview bubble and click the trashcan icon.

Context-Aware

Copilot is context-aware and can automatically detect where you are in Element451 to help you execute tasks more efficiently and accurately.

Contacts

  • Using Shortcuts: When you select a shortcut while viewing a student's record, Copilot automatically fills in the student's name in the prompt. You can remove the contact association by clicking the name and X icon.
    ​
    ​This intelligent design eliminates manual searching and selection, assuming the active record is your focal point. This saves time and reduces the likelihood of errors, ensuring that your communications and actions are always directed at the correct contact.
    ​

  • Not Using Shortcuts: When viewing a student record and not using a shortcut, Copilot is still context-aware. For example, you could use the prompt, "Give me a summary of this student," and Copilot will assume you are referring to the contact record you have opened.
    ​

Tasks

When viewing a task, you can ask Copilot to help you complete it. Copilot will analyze the task and suggest actionable next steps. Copilot is capable of drafting email and SMS communications based on the context of the task. Then, with your permission, Copilot will send the communication and change the task status to done.
