IN THE KNOW
Turn Data into Visuals with Power BI Copilot
Microsoft Power BI is a data analytics tool used by many finance, sales, and operations teams to analyze large datasets. Power BI Copilot is the AI assistant built into Power BI that helps users turn raw data into clear, interactive visuals using plain-English requests.
Suppose you are preparing a board presentation and need to show regional sales versus targets. You ask Copilot that exact question, and it generates dynamic charts with filters that let leaders explore performance by region, product, or timeframe in seconds.
Practical Takeaways:
Build executive-ready visuals without manual chart design
Speed up board and leadership reporting
Make complex sales data easier to explore
Standardize Report Design with Vizly
Vizly is a lightweight AI tool focused on visual consistency in data reporting. It applies brand color palettes and design rules automatically so charts and dashboards always look polished and aligned.
Let’s say different teams submit analytics decks every month and none of them match visually. You apply your brand palette in Vizly, and every new chart adopts the same colors and styling automatically, no manual formatting required.
Practical takeaways:
Keep analytics decks visually consistent
Reinforce brand identity in every report
Reduce time spent fixing slide formatting
BACK THAT APP UP
Create End-to-End Work with Genspark AI
Genspark AI is a unified AI workspace that coordinates multiple AI models to produce complete outputs, such as documents, spreadsheets, and presentations, from a single prompt. It removes the need to jump between tools or copy content from one app to another.
How to use it:
Step 1: Create a Sparkpage for your project
Enter a prompt like a quarterly performance review, and Genspark creates a workspace that pulls together research, data, and draft content.Step 2: Select output formats and refine
Choose AI Slides, AI Sheets, AI Docs, or AI Video, and refine the output using simple commands like adjusting tone or adding comparisons.Step 3: Export or share the finished work
Download files or share a live link. If source data changes, the Sparkpage stays updated.
Turn Spreadsheets into Apps with Glide AI
Glide is a no-code platform that lets teams turn spreadsheets into simple internal apps. Glide AI adds intelligence on top of that by helping structure data and improve how information is presented to users.
Suppose you track inventory or attendance in a spreadsheet. You connect it to Glide, and it becomes a live app that teams can open anytime to see current data, without editing the source file or requesting updates.
Practical Takeaways:
Give stakeholders self-service access
Reduce dependency on emailed spreadsheets
Share live data without version confusion

WHAT THE TECH!
AI Is Designing Proteins Humans Never Could
AI systems are now creating entirely new proteins. These proteins are engineered to interact with DNA, RNA, and drugs. Development timelines are shrinking by nearly half. Medicine is being designed, not discovered.
