Manual approval chains and inbox overload slow every organization. This demo-heavy session shows how to drop Copilot directly inside Power Automate to read incoming documents, extract intent, summarize risks, and route decisions—all within Microsoft Teams. We’ll build a flow that uses Azure OpenAI for extraction, GPT function calls for policy checks, Adaptive Cards for human-in-the-loop review, and Dataverse tables for auditable storage. You’ll learn prompt-engineering tricks to keep legal happy, fallback patterns for offline users, and live metrics for cost control. By the final “F5,” attendees will have a blueprint they can retrofit to expenses, contract review, or support tickets.
