The no-fluff field guide to AI at work

AI that earns its licence fee.

Patterns for anyone at work who wants AI to pull real weight: less admin, faster documents, automations that stick. Tested in a real business before they reach you.

No hype cycle. Just what holds up at work, from someone who ships this every week.

Word from the field

David Nudelman has consistently shared practical, real-world guidance with the Microsoft community, and it's great to see that experience captured in a playbook focused on adoption rather than just deployment. If you're leading Microsoft 365 or AI initiatives, this looks like a valuable resource to help turn licenses into measurable business outcomes.
Ali A. · CTO & Co-founder, Cybersecurity
David is a seasoned presenter and expert in Microsoft 365 Copilot. Attending the masterclass sessions was a delight. No slides, just a jam packed event with real world demonstrations across the full spectrum of Microsoft 365 Copilot with the latest information and capabilities including Copilot Cowork. His real world understanding of using the tools to achieve results made this experience top notch and provided a degree of value that would be associated with a paid course, so this just compounded the exceptional value of this opportunity from him volunteering his time to share this for free to the community. I highly recommend participating in any event that David makes available, as it will be well worth your time.

Great content, actionable advice. Thank you for explicitly stating up front that attendees will be getting the slide deck; lets us focus on content and dialog! Wish more presenters did that.

I think it was an excellent session. Whether it's reinforcing what you think you know or adding a nugget that you had missed all training is beneficial.

The Microsoft Copilot Masterclass was good! I wanted to learn a bit more advanced uses or Copilot Studio things like building apps using copilot or agents or agentic automated workflows. Overall I did learn some new things. If there is an advanced class for the things stated above then I would definitely like to join that in the future.
