In this video, I tested Microsoft Office Agent with a real-world prompt:

“Create an Excel budget template for a new store opening project in the UK from an IT department perspective.”

As a project manager with over 20 years of experience building project templates from scratch, it normally takes me at least an hour to complete a solid first draft.

Office Agent generated a structured, formula-ready Excel file in just 4 minutes.

In this video, I:
• Review the generated budget summary
• Verify the formulas (including contingency calculations)
• Evaluate whether the template is truly ready for real-world use
• Compare the same prompt in ChatGPT, Gemini, and Copilot

You’ll see the key difference between AI that provides guidance and AI that actually delivers a usable file.

AI doesn’t replace project managers — it accelerates them.

If you're exploring how AI can improve project management, retail IT rollout, or operational efficiency, this series is for you.
