From initial idea to finished AI use case: next AI Sandbox

Without an understanding of the technology, AI ideas remain vague, and there is often no reliable framework for testing before use cases are rolled out internally. Typical hurdles:

• Lack of technical knowledge – those unfamiliar with AI (and AI agents) cannot define meaningful use cases.
• A secure environment for experimentation – sensitive data must not be allowed to enter arbitrary AI systems, and production systems must not be put at risk in the process.
• The gap between individual tasks and process automation – using AI for a single task is straightforward, but automating entire process steps requires a structured approach.

The solution is the next AI Sandbox (Microsoft or n8n environment) for development, testing and learning – set up by next level. Includes Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot Studio and Power Automate:

• No live data, no risk to production systems
• Develop ready-made use cases, position them internally and then put them into practice

In the Sandbox, you’ll work with tried-and-tested AI agent use cases and use them to develop solutions for your organisation. Three proven scenarios to get you started:

• Meeting Minutes & Tasks: AI agent ‘Mike’ automatically generates minutes, extracts tasks and assigns them to the right people.
• Project Health Predictor: AI agent ‘Alex’ analyses project data and predicts risks before they escalate.
• Project Portfolio Agent: AI agent “Ela” automates analysis and management at portfolio level.
• In addition, you can develop and test your own workflows in the Sandbox – for example, complex workflows such as data analysis, process automation and AI-supported decision-making.

This results in ready-to-use use cases that you can then position internally and put into productive use.

Understand, try out, implement: We equip you with the tools and skills you need. In a one-day workshop with our AI specialists and your team, we provide a detailed introduction to AI agents and the use of next AI Sandbox technology.

• Define objectives: Together, we identify the processes with the greatest potential for AI.
• Outline the process: Define triggers, sub-steps and expected output – what will be automated, and what will remain manual?
• Build in the Sandbox: Together, we set up your first AI workflow: tailored to your real-world business processes and needs.
• Validate and deploy: Review results (Human in the Loop), position the use case internally and plan the path to productive implementation.

After the workshop, your team will be able to use the sandbox independently. You will have the knowledge to develop further use cases yourselves – securely, in compliance with the GDPR, and within the familiar Microsoft ecosystem.
