Custom automation that stays valuable as Copilot improves
Microsoft Copilot is getting better fast. But there's a category of domain-specific automation that Microsoft will never standardize. That's where your edge is.
Domain-specific workflows that Microsoft won't build — your criteria, your formats, your operational processes
Connects data rooms, deal CRMs, and external tools Microsoft doesn't touch
Runs in your tenant using Copilot Studio + Azure OpenAI — your data stays yours
These workflows won't become commodity features in 6 months
Your 10 portfolio companies send monthly reports in 10 different formats — some Excel, some PDF, different column names, different KPI definitions. Someone manually normalizes this every month. Copilot can't handle format variation at this scale.
Your fund sees 60+ opportunities per month. Associates spend hours screening deals that will never fit. Copilot can summarize a CIM — but it can't score against your specific mandate, log to your deal tracker, or draft your standard rejection email.
A partner asks: "What did we learn about supply chain issues across all our manufacturing deals?" The answer is buried in 50 expert call transcripts, 20 IC memos, and 100 emails across 8 deals. SharePoint Copilot searches one site. You need cross-deal institutional memory.
Management meeting with TargetCo tomorrow. Someone spends 45 minutes pulling together the latest CIM, recent emails, expert call notes, news mentions, and open questions. Copilot can summarize one document. You need multi-source aggregation triggered by your calendar.
Every engagement has 5-15 expert calls. Teams Premium transcribes them. But six months later, "what did the supply chain expert say about lead times?" means re-listening to hours of calls. You need domain-specific tagging, theme extraction, and cross-call searchability.
Every workflow follows the same proven approach. Start small, prove value, then expand.
Microsoft provides building blocks. We assemble them into workflows that fit how your firm actually operates — your criteria, your formats, your processes.
Everything runs in your tenant. Data never leaves. Azure OpenAI — not ChatGPT — so prompts aren't used for training.
Data rooms (Intralinks, Datasite), deal CRMs (DealCloud, Affinity) — we connect what Microsoft doesn't touch.
These aren't features Microsoft will ship in 6 months. Domain-specific automation that stays valuable.
It's assembling it into workflows that fit how your firm operates.
