How AI is applied to this activity
Microsoft's "Working with AI" study mapped real Bing Copilot conversations to O*NET work activities. The figures below are their measurements for this activity — they describe how AI is used today in one assistant's data, not a forecast that the activity will be automated.
| AI completes it successfully | 89.3% | When Copilot attempts this activity, how often it finishes the task |
| Scope AI handles | 32.1% | How much of the activity AI carries within a conversation |
| Positive user feedback | 75.0% | Share of interactions users rated positively |
| How often AI is applied here | 31st pct | Percentile across all measured activities by how often AI performs them |
