Mastering AI Prompt Engineering for a Smarter Workflow
You’ll discover how to get started with ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot, and why prompt engineering is becoming an essential skill for the future.
We’ll explore the knowledge embedded in these language models and show you how to craft effective prompts that take your work to the next level. Based on the RACE principle we explore the capabilities for a dog trim salon Pawsome. We dive in promptengineering from advertisements to social media content, to see how we get the maximized results from these tools.
Through practical examples, you’ll learn how these tools can support and optimize your daily tasks.
At the end of the session, you’ll receive a handy Quick Reference Card (QRC) to quickly revisit everything you’ve learned. Join us and discover the future of AI in your workflow!

Pipelines and AI: A Blessing or a Curse?
Building DevOps pipelines for infrastructure in Azure offers numerous opportunities, but also challenges that cannot be overlooked. On the positive side, AI provides unprecedented capabilities to automate repetitive tasks, optimize complex workflows, and eliminate error-prone processes. Think of automatically scaling infrastructure, monitoring performance, and predicting issues before they arise.
However, there is also a downside. AI-driven solutions can lead to over-reliance on automated processes, causing human oversight and insight to diminish. Moreover, integrating AI into DevOps pipelines introduces complexities that can increase development time and maintenance costs. And what happens when the AI gets it wrong? The consequences can be far-reaching in critical infrastructure.
This talk explores both the benefits and the risks of using AI in DevOps pipelines within Azure. Through practical examples and real-world insights, we highlight the balance between innovation and manageability. But does AI lead us to a future full of opportunities, or does it set us on a path of unforeseen challenges? At the end of this session, we leave that question open to interpretation.
