Build an AI Agent That Does It For You.
Hi everyone 👋 A few weeks ago, I started thinking about how much time businesses still spend writing repetitive promotional emails manually every month. The process is usually the same: review customer purchase history check active discounts write personalized emails send them one by one So I decided to build a simple AI-powered workflow that could automate the entire process. For Edition #003 of my newsletter, I created an AI agent that: ✅ reads customer purchase data ✅ matches category-based discounts ✅ generates personalized promotional emails using AI ✅ sends emails automatically What I enjoyed most while building this project was seeing how even small personalization details can completely change the customer experience. Instead of sending generic promotions, the workflow creates emails tailored to each customer’s purchases and interests. In this edition, I shared: the real-world use case the complete workflow approach implementation screenshots sample datasets GitHub project files practical automation tips 📌 View the newsletter If you enjoy building practical AI automations or exploring real-world AI agent ideas, I think you’ll enjoy this edition. I’d genuinely love to hear your thoughts and learn how others are approaching AI-driven automation in their own projects 🙌Microsoft Clarity on my Shopify store facing issue to setup

Over the past few months, I’ve been exploring how AI agents can solve real business problems inside the Microsoft ecosystem — not just as demos, but as practical, usable solutions. That’s what inspired me to create From Idea to Agent: Copilot. In Edition #002, I walk through how I built a real-world AI agent using Microsoft Copilot Studio and how anyone — developers, consultants, nonprofits, students, or business users — can start turning ideas into enterprise-ready AI experiences. This edition includes: ✅ A real AI agent use case ✅ A step-by-step implementation tutorial ✅ Practical lessons from real implementations 🎥 A complete 6-scene video walkthrough My goal with this newsletter is simple: Make AI agents easier to understand, easier to build, and more practical for everyday business scenarios. If you’re exploring: 🔹 Microsoft Copilot Studio 🔹 Power Platform 🔹 Dynamics 365 🔹 Power Automate 🔹 Enterprise AI solutions …I hope this edition gives you ideas, confidence, and practical guidance to start building your own. I’d genuinely love to hear how others in the Microsoft community are approaching AI agents and Copilot implementations. 🔗 Read the full newsletter here: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/edition-002-build-real-ai-agents-microsoft-ecosystem-sajeda-sultana-ihepe/?trackingId=JhLP0HdQTJasUmHeebHxTw%3D%3DDynamics 365 Supply Chain Management Functional Consultant Blueprint Survey Opportunity

Hi everyone, I see many of us experimenting with AI agents in Copilot Studio and other platforms. Spinning up an agent is now the easy part but making sure it actually helps users is much harder. In a short blog, I shared why listening to users should be part of your AI design, not an afterthought. I talk about: Using thumbs up/down, comments, and simple surveys Turning feedback into a backlog of improvements Why this feedback loop is essential for making AI agents truly useful If you’re building or maintaining AI agents, I’d love your thoughts and experiences. 🔗 Read the blog: Why Collecting User Feedback on Your AI Agent Actually Matters https://medium.com/@sajeda27/why-collecting-user-feedback-on-your-ai-agent-actually-matters-54deea4fee7bDesign and implement production-ready, multi-agent AI solutions Blueprint Survey Opportunity

Hi everyone, I keep getting the same questions in my inbox: “How do I start learning AI?” “Can I build an AI Agent without knowing how to code?” So I put together a simple, beginner-friendly blog focused on Microsoft tools like Copilot and Copilot Studio - perfect for anyone starting from zero. 👉 Check it out here: https://medium.com/@sajeda27/from-ai-curious-to-agent-builder-no-code-required-46f845458a97 If you find it useful, feel free to share it with someone who’s been asking the same questions 🙌
New Idea
Hi Team, I have been an extensive user of Microsoft Teams and the broader Microsoft ecosystem for a significant period, and I genuinely appreciate the continuous innovation that enhances modern collaboration. From my experience in IT, especially while working with cross-functional stakeholders, I find the meeting recording and automated summary features extremely valuable. However, I would like to propose an enhancement based on real-world challenges. In meetings where both technical and non-technical stakeholders are present, discussions often become highly technical, making it difficult for business participants to fully understand. This can lead to reduced engagement and misalignment. Suggested Enhancement: It would be highly beneficial if Microsoft Teams could generate two types of meeting summaries: Technical Summary: Detailed and suitable for engineering teams Business Summary: Simplified and easy to understand for non-technical stakeholders Example: Technical: We are integrating multiple third-party APIs. Simplified: Think of it like an airport control tower. Different airlines operate independently, but the control tower coordinates everything to ensure smooth operations. Our system is improving that coordination to make things faster and more reliable. Technical: We optimized the rendering pipeline. Simplified: We improved the application speed, reducing wait time from several seconds to almost instant. Why this matters: Improves understanding across teams Enhances decision-making Reduces communication gaps Makes collaboration more effective I believe this feature would significantly enhance Microsoft Teams and create a more inclusive experience for all stakeholders. Thank you.
