suggested prompts

In Microsoft 365 Copilot, suggested prompts are designed to help users get started quickly and interact with an agent effectively. Microsoft guidance for Copilot agents emphasizes that many users struggle most at the beginning—knowing what to ask, how to phrase requests, and how to take advantage of an agent’s purpose. Suggested prompts address this by providing ready-to-use examples that demonstrate the best ways to engage the agent for its intended scenarios.

Suggested prompts also act as lightweight “guardrails” for good prompting. They show users the expected input patterns, the types of tasks the agent can perform, and the kinds of outputs they can request. This accelerates adoption and improves the quality of results by steering users toward well-structured requests and appropriate context.

By contrast, capabilities describe what an agent can do (tools/features), instructions define how the agent should behave, and agent settings control configuration. None of those are primarily meant to help users begin conversations through example starters.

Therefore, the correct completion is suggested prompts.
