AI Agent for HR in Microsoft Teams: Setup, Use Cases, and What Employees Experience

Oct 1, 2026 By Deepa Majumder In Workativ
Microsoft Teams is already where many employees communicate, meet, share information, and get work done. But HR support often sits somewhere else. An employee may need to search SharePoint for a policy, open the HR portal to check leave, log into another application to submit a request, or message HR because they cannot find the right answer. An HR AI agent in Microsoft Teams can make that experience much simpler.

Claude + Miro MCP in Action: AI-Run Strategy Workshops

Oct 1, 2026 By Miro In Miro
David Balkind runs strategy workshops without booking a room full of people. As a Specialist Innovation Advisor, David built what he calls a Strategy Café Engine — a setup where Claude, connected directly to his Miro board through MCP, runs full multi-session strategy workshops. Claude plays the facilitator (David calls it MOIRA), works through a structured innovation canvas box by box, and models different stakeholder perspectives — founder, funder, customer — to pressure-test the strategy from every angle. David checks in at key checkpoints while the canvas builds itself live on the board.

AI Agent for HR Self-Service: How Employees Get Answers and Take Action Without Contacting HR

Oct 1, 2026 By Deepa Majumder In Workativ
Employee self-service was meant to make HR easier. But in many companies, employees still have to jump between portals, policies, forms, and HR systems just to get one simple thing done. Need to check a leave balance? Find the HRIS. Need a benefits answer? Search SharePoint. Need to know whether a request was approved? Open another system or ask HR. That is self-service, but it still puts a lot of work on the employee. An AI agent for HR changes that experience.

Putting it online is the easy bit

Oct 1, 2026 By Thibault Martin In Element
TL;DR When deploying a service on your infrastructure, it can be tempting to just grab open source containers and roll them out with simple tools. Docker compose or ansible playbooks can do a fantastic job at rolling out a few containers in no time. But putting simple services online is the easy bit. The more containers in your stack, the more difficult it becomes to deploy them consistently, and the more chances for it to break.

Pydio v5.1: Gain More Control Over Tag Cloud Metadata

Oct 1, 2026 By Wire In Wire
Tag Cloud metadata fields are meant to make files easier to find, but only if the values in them stay consistent.

Using Chanty for Construction Crew: Keep the Office and the Field on the Same Page

Oct 1, 2026 By Lisa Hodun In Chanty
“Who the *** changed the plan?!” Pretty realistic for a typical morning on a construction site, isn’t it? A crew shows up ready to work and finds out the plan changed somewhere up in the office, but the information didn’t make it to the field in time. Almost every superintendent, foreman, or project manager has said it, heard it, or dealt with the fallout.
