Using Microsoft Copilot Studio for Internal AI Assistants — A HR Assistant Demo

We also added a practical, automated workflow: Holiday Request Submission.

Instead of filling out a form or sending an email manually, employees can simply use natural language

The AI assistant will:

• Collect the required information (dates, reason, comments).
• Automatically forward the request to the employee’s supervisor.
• Generate and send the email using Power Automate.
• Confirm to the employee that the request has been submitted.

This automation saves time for both employees and supervisors while standardising the process and reducing errors.

Internal AI assistants are not just “fancy chatbots.” They can:

• Reduce repetitive workload for HR, IT, Finance, or Operations teams.
• Improve employee experience by offering instant and consistent support.
• Automate internal workflows using Power Automate.
• Integrate directly into familiar tools like Microsoft Teams or intranet, allowing employees to chat with the bot right where they work.

And thanks to Microsoft Copilot Studio’s low-code approach, building and maintaining these bots is faster and more cost-effective than traditional development.

By combining Copilot Studio with the rest of the Power Platform, businesses can build not just chatbots but powerful internal assistants that automate real processes, reduce internal friction, and boost productivity.
