Build production‑grade agents that: Ingest structured and semi‑structured data (Airtable, CSV, SharePoint, APIs), Reason over incomplete or messy inputs using LLMs, Execute actions in complex web UIs with dynamic selectors, Verify success via OCR, screenshot validation, and state‑based confirmation, Prototype “last‑mile” automations where APIs are unavailable, and human work still dominates.
Define the enterprise reference architecture for computer‑use agents, including: When to use Power Automate Desktop vs Azure AI Foundry, Standards for reasoning loops vs scripted flows, Criteria for attended, unattended, and fully serverless agents
Establish repeatable patterns such as: Trigger → Reason → Act → Verify → Recover loops, Exception escalation to humans via Teams, Evidence‑capture and auditability by design
