From thinking about AI to building with it

Most AI conversations stay theoretical. This workshop is about getting hands on. Over the afternoon, you’ll take a quick look at where your team is today, explore practical ideas, and build a simple agent prototype with support along the way.
  • 1

    Assess your AI readiness

    Understand what's driving AI adoption in Finance right now and honestly assess where your team stands before you activate.

  • 2

    Find your highest-value use case

    Use a guided framework to surface high-impact, low-complexity opportunities specific to your Finance function, not generic AI examples.

  • 3

    Build a working agent

    With hands-on guidance from the HSO and Microsoft teams, create a real prototype agent before you leave the room.

  • 4

    Leave with a team activation plan

    Define clear ownership, realistic timelines, and next steps so momentum doesn't stall after the workshop ends.

Agenda

  • 1:00 PM – Welcome and introductions: Overview of the workshop goals and a chance to meet the HSO and Microsoft teams.
  • 1:15 PM – Agent 101 : A simple walkthrough of what AI agents are and how Finance teams use them.
  • 1:45 PM – PayFlow Agent demo: A live demonstration of a Finance agent to spark ideas before the build session.
  • 2:00 PM – Use case brainstorm: Identify high value, low complexity opportunities using our guided framework.
  • 2:45 PM – Hands on agent build: Create your own agent prototype inside Microsoft Copilot or Copilot Studio with support from our team.
  • 3:45 PM – Showcase and next steps: Share your prototype and outline a clear plan for activation inside your organization. 

Tangible outputs, not just ideas

You will leave with:
  • A working AI agent prototype
  • A prioritized list of high value use cases
  • A clear understanding of your AI readiness
  • Guidance on how to continue the build with your broader team

Who should attend?

This workshop is for Finance leaders who want to move from ideas to action. You’ll get the most value if you join with a decision maker and a real problem you want to explore. To participate, you’ll need at least one Microsoft Copilot license and be open to experimentation.
