Key Takeaways
- Early career to now: Prashant began his career mostly working on Microsoft 365 services, especially SharePoint, in 2017. He pivoted to AI and started exploring Power Platform around 2019. He continued learning and sharing his knowledge over the years, diving into categories like Microsoft’s RPA offerings, Copilot Studio, and agents. Initially, when he worked with customers on automation implementation, it was about Azure, Power Platform, and applied AI services. Now, it’s been all about how to use GenAI and the best way to problem-solve with rising AI technologies. “This is the best time I have seen in the professional industry, especially when it comes to working in AI,” he says.
- Motivation to share: After gaining so much from the community, Prashant has developed a passion for sharing. He recalls early in his career how it was harder to obtain information and resources about Microsoft and its products. “I got so much from the community during that time, and that’s why this is one way of me giving back,” Prashant shares. There is so much information now that it can be difficult to get started, so he has been motivated to help others with their Microsoft journeys.
- Summit NA: Prashant will be sharing his expertise with users at Community Summit North America. He is leading a two-day Academy class, with day one covering basics around creating and implementing multi-agents and day two covering basics of Copilot Studio and prompt engineering. He will also be leading two education sessions on Monday, October 20th:
