If you want more information on a recommendation, ask follow-up questions. For example, you can ask for a new fantasy adventure novel. Copilot will then provide a list of recommendations that you can refine. If you’re looking for a shorter novel, adjust the list by asking if any of the recommendations are under 400 pages. Try setting guardrails for type of humor, date published, awards, or whatever you like.
