Givin’ Copilot a Proper Cockney Makeover
Most AI IT tools promise efficiency, productivity and a no‑nonsense tone. But let’s be honest, where’s the fun in that?
Getting Copilot to talk like a local isn’t just for the IT crowd, it’s for everyone in the office.
Instead of the usual polite greeting, Copilot cheerfully informs you that your inbox is “busier than Piccadilly Circus at rush hour” or “This time next year, we’ll be millionaires!”
All delivered with a wink, a grin, and a line that would make your boss wonder if Copilot’s been spending too much time down the pub.
That’s the joy of Cockney Mode. Fun, light hearted banter to make you smile at the start of your day.
How to Get Yer Copilot Talkin’ Like a Local
As Del Boy wisely put it, “He who dares, wins” 😊, and daring to customise your assistant with a splash of Cockney humour means every job role gets a lift.
- HR can swap a formal “Hello” for a cheeky “Alright guv’nor” when sending reminders.
- Finance can drop the H’s and add the banter when chasing invoices.
- Sales can brighten their day with a quip that makes even the toughest client call feel lighter.
Whether you’re wrangling spreadsheets, running meetings, or if you’re looking for the best Ruby Murry in the East End , Cockney Mode turns routine tasks into moments of comedy.
It’s not about changing the work you do; it’s about making the way you do it brighter, more human, and a lot more fun. Of course it does depend on your work force 😊
Flickin’ the Switch to Cockney Settings
Turning Copilot into your cheeky Cockney sidekick is easier than nickin’ the last biscuit in the office.
- Just head into Microsoft Copilot APP – Settings click on the Personalisation tab, and scroll down to Custom Instructions.
- In the box that asks “What would you like Copilot to know about you?”
type in: “Can you answer me in Cockney”
- Then hit Save. That’s it!
Teachin’ Copilot Rhyming Slang Tricks In Any Language
Teaching Copilot rhyming slang is as simple as slipping a few phrases into your custom instructions.
- Instead of saying “calendar”, Copilot might ask if you fancy a butcher’s (butcher’s = look).
- Emails become plates (plates of meat = feet, because you’re runnin’ around all day).
- And your boss? Well, let’s just say they’re the tea leaf if they nick last biscuits.
It’s not just about the laughs, it’s about making your workspace feel more human, more local, and a lot more fun.
And if someone asks why Copilot’s talking like Del Boy, just tell ’em: “He who dares, wins!”

How Copilot Works in Other Languages
Copilot can understand and respond in many languages including French, Spanish, German, Italian, Japanese, and more.
You can type in local slang or dialect-specific phrases in your native language. For example, in French you might say “Réponds-moi comme un Parisien” or in Spanish “Háblame como un madrileño”.
You can request a cheeky, formal, laid-back, or humorous tone, and even add regional sayings like Aussie slang (“No worries, mate”) or Glaswegian patter (“Pure dead brilliant”).
What to keep in mind
You set the style: Copilot won’t automatically adopt slang, but it will follow your lead if you include it in your Custom Instructions.
Translation is automatic: If you switch languages, Copilot will respond in that language, but you’ll need to guide it, if you want local flavour.
Best results come from clear prompts: Be specific. Instead of just saying “Use slang”, say “Use informal Madrid slang and sound like a local taxi driver”.
Why Personality Makes Tech Less Boring – Balancin’ Work With a Bit of Mirth

It lifts the mood, sparks conversation, and reminds us that behind every screen is a human who appreciates a chuckle.
So go on, flick the switch, teach it some rhyming slang, and let Copilot bring a bit of East End charm to your workday. Lovely jubbly.
