## Summary

A walkthrough of setting up GitHub Copilot CLI on Windows and integrating it with the Work IQ plugin to query Microsoft 365 data. Covers prerequisites (GitHub account, M365 Copilot license, PowerShell, Windows Terminal, Node.js), installation via WinGet, authentication, and adding the Work IQ plugin. Demonstrates querying emails, searching meeting transcripts using semantic search, and using interactive vs. non-interactive Copilot CLI modes. Also touches on model selection, session resumption, and why CLIs remain valuable for both humans and AI agents.
