Client tools and automation (optional)
- Curate and test useful client tools that work with the internal endpoint, such as coding harnesses, developer tools, and automation platforms including n8n.
- Explore the Microsoft agent platform, including Microsoft 365 Copilot agents and Copilot Studio, and build selected workflows or agents for internal use.
- Identify repetitive or information-heavy tasks that are worthwhile to automate, then prototype pragmatic solutions with relevant teams.
