Introducing Partner AI Digest: Showcase Your AI Solutions to Microsoft Employees!
Dear Partners I am writing to introduce a new initiative called "Partner AI Digest". Partner AI Digest aims to provide you with an opportunity to showcase the innovative AI solutions you have built to Microsoft employees. We understand that time is precious, each Partner AI Digest session will be limited to just 15 minutes. During this time, you will have the opportunity to present your AI solution and its unique features, highlight its benefits, and demonstrate its capabilities to the Microsoft community. To streamline the scheduling process, we have created a link where you can book your Partner AI Digest slots for the upcoming months. Please find the link below: Book Time Please note that once you have booked a slot, it is essential to provide a minimum of two weeks' notice if you are unable to make the Partner AI Digest session. This will enable us to allocate the time to another partner who may be interested in participating. To help you make the maximum impact during your 15-minute slot, we suggest the following strategies: · Clearly define your objective: Identify the key message you want to convey during your presentation. Focus on the most significant aspects of your AI solution that will resonate with the Microsoft audience. · Keep it concise and engaging: As time is limited, ensure your presentation is concise, structured, and engaging. Capture the attention of the audience from the beginning and maintain their interest throughout the session. · Highlight the value proposition: Clearly articulate the unique value proposition of your AI solution. Explain how it addresses a specific problem or pain point and the benefits it offers to Microsoft employees. · Showcase real-world examples: Whenever possible, provide real-world examples or case studies that demonstrate the effectiveness and impact of your AI solution. This will help the audience visualize its potential applications. · Demonstrate the solution in action: Utilize a live demonstration or pre-recorded video to showcase your AI solution's capabilities. This will provide a tangible experience for the audience and enhance their understanding. · Encourage interaction and questions: Allocate time for questions and engage in a discussion with the Microsoft employees. This will help foster collaboration, gather feedback, and address any concerns or queries they may have. We believe that the Partner AI Digest sessions will serve as an excellent platform for you to showcase your AI solutions to a wider audience within Microsoft. We encourage you to make the most of this opportunity and utilize the limited time efficiently to leave a lasting impression. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to GPS. We look forward to your active participation in the Partner AI Digest sessions.
