Embracing the Unconventional: Claiming the “Dooh” Badge with Our Uniquely Useless AI Personality Adaptation

Posted on by

In a blend of innovation and whimsy, our team is excited to announce our claim to the “Dooh” badge, celebrating our venture into the extraordinarily useless yet fascinating realm of AI. We’ve dedicated hours to creating an adaptive AI personality for our Teams integration, a feature that, while seemingly unnecessary, showcases our creativity and willingness to explore the uncharted territories of AI development

A Quirky Twist to AI Interaction

Our adaptive AI personality in Teams is an intriguing paradox. It’s an advanced feature, designed to change its responses and interactions based on user input and context, yet it serves no practical purpose in a business environment. This unique attribute adds a layer of unnecessary complexity to the AI, turning standard interactions into a showcase of over-engineered ingenuity.

Celebrating the Art of the Useless

By venturing into this seemingly pointless endeavor, we embrace the spirit of innovation in its most unadulterated form. It’s a testament to our team’s ability to think outside the box, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in AI, even if it means treading into the realm of the delightfully impractical.

GitHub Pages

With this blog post we are aiming for the badge

When Power Pages sites stopped provisioning, we tried instead to make the Peaches Mini Games start map in something called GitHub pages.

We created a repository in GitHub and added our code there. Following this tutorial:
GitHub Pages | Websites for you and your projects, hosted directly from your GitHub repository. Just edit, push, and your changes are live.

Greate a new repo

For a low coder like me, this is unfamiliar and feels very developer’y šŸ˜€ I’m loving it!

Chat GPT and I created the framework for the game map that I added to the index.html in the repo.


Committed and pushed the code and 10 minutes later the GitHub Pages page was live and the initial game rendered:

https://peachesofitera.github.io/

The Public Repo is here:

https://github.com/peachesofitera/peachesofitera.github.io

Anyone is welcome to use this as the starting point for their game if they like.

With this blog post we aim for the Go With The Flow, The Existential Risk, Mario badge and Plug N’ Play.

  • The Mario Badge for the gamification of Copilot.
  • The go with the Flow and Existensal Risk, because the use of Prompts with CHAT. One prompt to check if answers are correct or not The other prompt tells if the answer is Correct or Incorrect and will use this to send an action to power automate to populate a dataverse table.
  • The plug NĀ“play for the use of prompt plugins in copilot.

Video of the in progress solution:

Steps:
Opening the admin center at https://aka.ms/ppac

Enabled Copilot for the Environment:

The Copilot component is ON in Canvas App:

Copilot

Found a website with Mario facts: https://kids.kiddle.co/Mario
Also uploaded a PDF with mario facts.

Conversation start

Conversation end or start again

  • Tested Generative AI inside the copilot studio, got answers, but could not check the answers with generative AI, it was good to give the answers, but not good to check if the answers is correct.
  • Made a power automate flow that generates a text with AI builder. – But it had limitations, it stopped with that you had to have an approval of text before i could process it.

So the next step i did was to try the new Prompts in Copilot studio: (It took many iterations of the prompt to make the copilot say if it was correct or incorrect).

Started making the Quiz topic that is the “game”, to test if it would work like i thought:

It works

Next STEPS:

Send correct answer to dataverse table to score a point:

Add the Copilot(chatbot) control to the canvas app:

Point Taken has gone above and beyond this year for the Cool Camp. We have Power Ups , Green Pipes and blocs all over the place.

It also does help that we have an extremely handsome Mario that actually is strong enough to lift any Peach out there!! (Emojy Strong arm) (Emojy Princess)

Thievery for a good cause!

We wanted to out Mario Detection Systems cameras to be small ( -ish), to be more difficult for the Mario Bros to detect, so naturally we settled on using a Raspberry Pi to run our Mario Detection software. But can a Raspberry Pi even run this software? Can it even be done?

Well, luckily we found OpenCV, an open source computer vision library!
And even better, we found Caroline Dunn’s facial_recognition repository on GitHub, which specifically tackles facial recognition on the Raspberry Pi 4. This was a natural “Yoink!” for us.

After a little bit of tweaking, we can now detect Marios and Luigis, and upload the images to our Sharepoint with a Power Automate flow!

Sometimes, it’s better to let someone else do most of the hard work šŸ™‚

Nasty hacker; import Power Pages when provision fails

Posted on by

With this blog post we aim for the badge “Nasty Hack”

Lots of teams have struggled provisioning new Power Pages sites in newly created environments. We have experienced the same problem.

Provisioning in older environments still work, so the idea was to provision a blank new power pages site in an old environment in another tenant, put it in a solution, export the solution and import it into the new environment.

Export the solution

Unmanaged, of course, to be able to edit the site in the destination environment.

Import

Success

Reactivate site

All good so far..

But then..

Provisioning still is in progress like the first one..

DOH!

Maybe this should qualify for the DOH! Badge instead..

Hei bloggen!

We want to show of our amazing outfits and Remarkable Teamspirit! Not only do we save time by wearing our dungarees everyday, we feel the Mario spirit and we look amazing. We bought them second hand and decorated them together.

Harnessing the Power of PromptFlow: Introducing Our Plug N’ Play Bot Service for Microsoft Teams

Posted on by

Revolutionizing Team Collaboration with PromptFlow

In our latest venture, we’re excited to introduce a cutting-edge bot service integrated into Microsoft Teams, marking our claim for the “Plug N’ Play” badge. This bot leverages PromptFlow technology to automate and streamline communication within Teams.

We have a dataset with 5000+ races with statistics on race performance. With the AI-chat bot, the users will save time when deciding on their strategy for upcoming races. The natural language model makes it easy for the user to ask questions such as, which players have the best lap time on certain maps, what kart usually performs better and so on.

Technical Highlights

  • Built on Microsoft Bot Framework for robust conversational AI experiences.
  • Seamlessly blends into Microsoft Teams, enhancing the platform’s collaborative efficiency.

Future Prospects

This bot is just the start of our journey in transforming business communication with cloud-based AI solutions. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to innovate and redefine collaborative workflows.
