We believe the real value of AI isn’t found in demos or slide decks, it’s found when teams roll up their sleeves, experiment, and build together. That’s exactly what happened when we partnered with Vaudoise Assurances for a full-day Microsoft Copilot Prompt-a-thon.
What Is a Prompt-a-thon?
A Prompt-a-thon is a structured, hands-on workshop where teams explore how AI tools like Microsoft Copilot can be applied to real, everyday business challenges. Think of it as a hackathon — but focused entirely on prompting, prototyping, and discovering practical AI use cases within your existing workflows.
Rather than abstract theory, participants work on scenarios they actually face: automating repetitive tasks, accelerating insight generation, improving team collaboration, and more.
What We Did Together
Over the course of the day, cross-functional teams from Vaudoise Assurances dove into Microsoft Copilot with a clear mission: find where AI can make a tangible difference in their work.
The energy in the room was palpable. Ideas moved quickly from whiteboard concepts to working prototypes, a reminder that when curiosity meets the right tools, innovation doesn’t have to be slow.
Why Hackathons Work for AI Adoption
One of the biggest barriers to enterprise AI adoption isn’t technology — it’s mindset. Teams need a safe space to experiment, fail fast, and discover what’s genuinely useful versus what’s hype.
Workshops like this Prompt-a-thon accomplish exactly that:
- They democratize AI. Every participant, regardless of technical background, can find value in Copilot.
- They generate real use cases. Ideas that emerge from real workflows are far more actionable than top-down mandates.
- They build momentum. Seeing a colleague solve a real problem with AI is more persuasive than any vendor presentation.
Looking Ahead
The Prompt-a-thon with Vaudoise was a strong reminder that the journey from AI adoption to AI advantage is a team sport. It takes curiosity, a willingness to experiment, and the right partners to guide the process. We’re excited to see how the ideas and prototypes from this session continue to evolve, and we look forward to running many more sessions like this with organisations ready to make AI work for them.
