AI capability 03 · Microsoft 365 Copilot + CoworkWORK PRODUCT
Use Copilot for the moment.Delegate the mission to Cowork.
Temen prepares the Microsoft 365 foundation, people, work, controls, support, and economics - then helps teams move from in-the-moment assistance to governed, multi-step work with visible checkpoints.
Why TemenTemen connects Microsoft 365 readiness, task design, administration, adoption, human checkpoints, usage economics, support, and continuing operation.Why nowCopilot and Cowork are expanding the work users can delegate; roles, approved context, budgets, and consequential authority should be defined before usage scales.

Choose the right work mode
Not every request should become a Cowork task.
Temen helps teams distinguish a conversational assist, a delegated mission, a deterministic process, and a purpose-built agent. The right choice depends on repetition, integration, control, scale, and the work product.
Carry this mission forward
Delegate a multi-step outcome that may gather context, use tools, create artifacts, run in the background, and pause for your approval.
Run this defined process
Use deterministic triggers, rules, system actions, approvals, and bounded AI when the same process should execute reliably at scale.
Provide a governed specialist
Build a purpose-specific experience when proprietary knowledge, repeatable domain behavior, integrations, evaluation, and operations are required.
How delegated work happens
An observable loop from intent to approved action.
Cowork is not simply a response that happens to be longer. It forms and executes a plan, uses permitted context and tools, keeps the work visible, and checks back when the mission reaches an agreed boundary.
Delegate an outcome
Describe what finished work looks like, name important context, state the boundary, and identify the action that requires approval.
Ground with Work IQ
Use the permitted emails, meetings, chats, files, people, and connected business context that make the task specific to the user’s work.
Plan and use tools
Break the mission into steps, select the appropriate Microsoft 365 skills, models, applications, browser capabilities, or approved plugins.
Show the work
Keep progress, source use, created artifacts, open questions, and proposed actions visible so the person can steer or stop the task.
Pause, approve, deliver
Require explicit review at the agreed checkpoint, complete the authorized action, preserve evidence, and expose usage and cost.
Animated Cowork example
Watch a delegated mission become a conversation, a plan, and real work.
Choose a fictional task and run the animation. Cowork explains its plan, surfaces each application action in the conversation, builds the work product, and stops at the human checkpoint.

Mission portfolio
Start with work that benefits from context, coordination, and an inspectable deliverable.
A useful first portfolio is small enough to govern and varied enough to learn. Temen defines the approved information, tools, output, owner, human checkpoint, frequency, and value measure for every task.
Prepare a customer meeting
Reconcile account history, email, meetings, current documents, opportunity data, and open decisions into a sourced briefing pack.
Build a weekly operating review
Collect current workstream updates, metrics, meeting decisions, risks, and unresolved dependencies; prepare the review and owner follow-ups.
Coordinate a service launch
Align signed scope, owners, dates, access, tasks, customer communication, and readiness evidence across Microsoft 365.
Analyze a budget variance
Review approved workbooks and commentary, identify the drivers, prepare the executive narrative, and surface assumptions for validation.
Prepare a hiring plan
Gather approved role, interview, policy, onboarding, and calendar context; create the plan while preserving HR decision boundaries.
Run a recurring intelligence brief
Schedule the task to collect permitted changes, research a defined topic, reconcile updates, and prepare a reviewable daily or weekly brief.
Temen enablement path
License activation is one line in a controlled operating plan.
We connect readiness, task design, administration, adoption, quality, cost, and support so the customer can make an evidence-based decision at every stage.
ASSESS01
Foundation & readiness
Review licensing, identity, sharing, information quality, policy, application activity, governance, adoption capacity, and viable users.
DESIGN02
Task portfolio
Select bounded missions with valuable outputs, authoritative sources, tool access, human checkpoints, frequency, and a baseline.
CONFIGURE03
Control plane
Set billing, budgets, alerts, models, plugins, browser use, audit, security, compliance, data boundaries, and support ownership.
PILOT04
Role-level launch
Build fictional test data, task instructions, acceptance evidence, role labs, champion support, and a controlled user cohort.
REVIEW05
Quality, use & economics
Inspect task success, corrections, exceptions, adoption, credit consumption, model and tool choices, and business outcome evidence.
OPERATE06
Managed improvement
Support failed tasks, changing permissions and plugins, cost anomalies, incidents, skills, task patterns, and controlled expansion.
Control and economics
Govern the actions. Meter the work. Keep the bill explainable.
Cowork combines a Microsoft 365 Copilot user license with usage-based task billing. Temen helps customers enable billing deliberately, define who may use the system, set budgets and alerts, review credit consumption, and tune the work instead of discovering cost after scale.

Representative engagement patterns
Enable the product, shape the work, and operate what succeeds.
These patterns combine Temen’s read-only readiness assessment, adoption and value review, workflow design, and managed-support approach. They describe delivery logic - not invented customer results.
Move from broad interest to a controlled first cohort.
Starting situation
Copilot interest existed, but identity posture, sharing, stale content, administrative policy, use-case ownership, and adoption evidence were not understood together.
Temen engagement
Temen performs a read-only readiness review, confirms viable pilot capacity, prioritizes foundation remediation, defines role scenarios, and designs the adoption and support program.
Turn a recurring executive review into a bounded mission.
Starting situation
A leader repeatedly reconciled meetings, emails, files, metrics, and action owners before an operating review, but the final decisions and communication required judgment.
Temen engagement
Temen defines the outcome, approved sources, task instructions, tool access, output templates, approval point, test cases, usage budget, and exception route.
Keep delegated work useful after the launch event.
Starting situation
Tasks, plugins, models, permissions, data, and prices change over time. A successful pilot can still create quality, support, governance, or cost drift.
Temen engagement
Temen combines usage and cost review, task-quality sampling, support, incident handling, dependency monitoring, adoption evidence, and controlled task or cohort changes.
Customer handoff
The customer keeps an operating system - not a launch deck.
Temen separates verified tenant evidence, customer decisions, product configuration, task designs, training material, support ownership, and operating measures so the program can continue without repeating discovery.
