Giuseppe Ianni is joined by Alithya’s Power Platform Lead, Chad Weiner, on this episode of the AI Agent & Copilot Podcast, who shares details on his session at the AI Kickstart Preconference and why attendees of the event are gaining a competitive edge amongst those who don’t.
Key Takeaways
- Laying groundwork: Weiner will be leading a session at the AI Kickstart Preconference, introducing attendees to Copilot Studio and how to build their first custom AI agent. He explains that the session will cover real-world examples and walk through agent creation, deployment, monitoring, and governance to help participants “get the groundwork to take advantage of the future days in the conference.”
- Event takeaways: When discussing event takeaways, Weiner explains that the AI Agent & Copilot Summit will help leaders move from AI experimentation to real execution, turning curiosity into measurable business value across customer service, operations, and employee empowerment. Further, sessions will demonstrate how Microsoft 365 and Copilot Studio agents provide a low-barrier way to build secure, data-aligned AI solutions tied directly to business goals.
- Gaining a competitive edge: The event brings a unique take to the space as it unites both practitioners and partners to share real-world AI and Copilot use cases, helping make agents more practical, approachable, and grounded in tangible business outcomes to accelerate adoption, says Weiner.
