Fact-check what AI gave you
AI can sound completely confident and still be wrong. Use this simple routine to check anything Copilot or another AI tool gives you before you share it, send it or act on it.
App Any AI tool
Time 2 to 10 minutes
Level Beginner
Before you start
Know the stakes
A brainstorm needs a light check. A client email, policy or report needs a careful one.
Know where it came from
Did the answer come from your files, the web or the AI on its own? Answers with no source need the most checking.
The originals handy
Keep the original files, emails or websites open so you can compare them with what the AI said.

Tip: match your checking to the stakes
The more people who will see it, or the bigger the decision it supports, the more carefully you check. When in doubt, verify it or leave it out.
Prompts to try
Copy a prompt into Copilot. Replace anything in brackets with your own details.
