When planning HogWorkplace, we initially didn’t know what it should look like. To get a clearer idea, we decided to sketch it by hand. Our goal was to create an intranet on a SharePoint site for both Hogwarts and the other house common rooms. We wanted to incorporate AI and CoPilot Studio, which led us to develop DobbAI. DobbAI is available on all SharePoint sites within HogWorkplace.

We aim to create a PowerApp that visualizes Hogwarts and the Hogwarts Express, making it clickable to navigate to different features on the SharePoint site. We sketched these drawings and pictures to visualize our thinking.

Hogwarts: The main SharePoint site, showcasing Hogwarts, the Hogwarts Express, and DobbAI.

Visual Design: A more detailed design of the castle, DobbAI, and the train.

Features: Showcasing the rest of the features on the Hogwarts SharePoint site, including a button to find your common room, conversation posts from Viva Engage, and a Hogwarts Academic Calendar that displays the yearly calendar. Clicking on an element in the calendar provides additional information.

DobbAI Interaction: Demonstrating how DobbAI will look once you interact with it. It’s a chatbot where DobbAI answers your questions based on its knowledge. We’ve integrated all the SharePoint sites, documents, lists, etc., of HogWorkplace into its knowledge base. You will only receive answers and access to information that your signed-up user has permission to read, ensuring no sensitive data is shared. When you get an answer, you also receive the source of the information and, in some cases, a navigation link to the relevant location if it suits the prompted question.
