In August’s edition of The Monthly Tech-In, we spotlight nonprofits navigating today’s toughest challenges with the help of Microsoft tools and AI - from the YMCA’s rapid launch of new child care centers to Toastmasters International embracing AI as a supportive partner. We also share how thoughtful design is making digital experiences safer and how AI is helping scientists reach discoveries faster than ever. Because when resources are limited, innovation helps do more with less.

I use it all the time. Here’s an example:

I’ve really enjoyed using the new Copilot GPT-5 over the past few weeks. As summer winds down and the pace picks up, I wanted to share a prompt that’s been great for organizing my calendar and protecting focus time. Try this prompt: Analyze my calendar, emails, and Teams chats for the next 7 days. Suggest where I can consolidate meetings, and propose 2 time blocks for deep work.

For more than four decades, Microsoft has partnered with the U.S. Government to serve the American people. From modernizing IT infrastructure to advancing cybersecurity, our partnership has always been rooted in trust, innovation, and shared purpose. Today, we are building on that legacy with a new agreement with the U.S. General Services Administration — including a no-cost Microsoft 365 Copilot offer — to accelerate the adoption of AI and digital technologies across federal agencies and deliver more than $3 billion in total savings to taxpayers in the first year alone. This collaboration is about empowering public servants with the tools they need to deliver on their missions more effectively and securely. By bringing the latest advances in cloud and AI — including Azure, Microsoft 365 Copilot, Dynamics 365, and our security platforms — backed by industry-leading security and compliance certifications, we aim to help agencies modernize systems, improve citizen services, and advance their technology transformation goals.
