So my name’s Kane. I’m the automation and AI specialist here at Lanter Technologies. and I’m pretty heavily involved in the marketing and the licensing of Copilot. And so, I’ felt it was really important that even if, business didn’t want to engage us for in-person training, that every user had an opportunity to do at least some sort of introductory course on Copilot. so, that’s what this video series is. it’ll walk through, you know, what Copilot. is, how to get to it, the different applications you might see it’ in. I’ll talk to some of my own workflows and how I use Copilot. and we’ll talk a little bit about some of the rough, edges of Copilot and maybe what Copilot isn’t. Because I think that it, is a little bit different to some of the consumer products you might have used previously. but it is a good product. but I think as long as your expectations are set properly, you’ll have a really good time with it. And so that’s what this video course is. so let’s get cracking.
