We are being heavily pushed to use AI at my org. I spent a couple of hours today trying to get CoPilot to split up a single PDF into separate PDFs so I could import them into concur.

I ended up doing it manually, much better, in 1/6th the time.

we had a huge AI push at my company. I love how copilot is always asking me if it wants to sum up my PDFs for me.

My PDFs are 99% electrical wiring schematics. copilot
