AI-assisted application building

Describe it.
Test it. Publish it.

Workshop turns a clearly described business process into a focused app, deployed in your existing SharePoint environment, then guides your team through private testing and controlled publication.

Built for teams that want fast delivery of tools they own and control.

01 / THE PROBLEM

The small-app backlog
is still a backlog.

Every organization has work that matters too much for a spreadsheet and feels too small for a traditional software project. Workshop gives those needs a governed path into SharePoint.

02 / HOW IT WORKS

From need to useful app,
one clear step at a time.

01

Build

Describe the users, records, decisions, and outcomes. Add relevant files or SharePoint context when the work needs exact source material.

02

Test

Prepare a private SharePoint page, try the current version, and decide whether to refine the app or continue toward release.

03

Publish

Confirm the release page and data access, then publish the verified version for the intended SharePoint audience.

03 / ILLUSTRATIVE CASE STUDIES

Start with the work.
Build the missing tool.

These representative scenarios show the kinds of focused applications a team can shape in Workshop. Each begins with a plain-language prompt, then improves through real use and iteration.

01

Manufacturing intelligence

Make production performance visible.

Built through a few focused iterations

The challenge

A manufacturer cannot easily tell which machines and shifts perform best on a particular job. Its ERP is slow to update and even harder to analyze, leaving supervisors to piece together machine, operator, order, and runtime data by hand.

What the team builds

A fast floor-entry app and operations dashboard that exposes machine and shift trends, shows which operators perform best on which equipment, and flags degraded performance for specific order types so future work can be costed more accurately.

Machine + shift trends Operator-machine fit Order-aware cost signals

Starting prompt

Build a SharePoint app for production supervisors to record each completed job by machine, shift, operator, order type, planned runtime, actual runtime, scrap, and downtime reason. Make floor entry take less than a minute. Show machine and shift trends, operator-machine fit, and flag degraded performance for similar orders. Add an estimating view that uses historical performance to adjust future job costs, starting with exports from our ERP.
02

Airport safety management

Turn incident tracking into resolution.

Operational prototype in one week

The challenge

A small airport tracks safety mishaps and OSHA submissions in spreadsheets. Incidents can be logged, but root-cause work is inconsistent and corrective actions are difficult to follow all the way to verified closure.

What the team builds

Over the course of a week, the airport describes and tests a purpose-built safety tool. It logs incidents, uses AI investigators to challenge assumptions and surface missing evidence, draws the causal analysis, recommends corrective actions, and tracks accepted actions through completion.

Guided root-cause analysis Visual causal maps Corrective action closure

Starting prompt

Build a safety incident management app for a small airport. Let staff log mishaps with photos, location, severity, witnesses, and OSHA fields. Guide investigators through root-cause analysis, use AI investigators to challenge assumptions and suggest missing evidence, draw the causal chain, recommend corrective actions, and let us accept, assign, date, and track every action to verified closure. Replace our Excel tracker without losing export capability.
03

Vineyard planning

Optimize land, water, and every workday.

A solution shaped around the property

The challenge

A winery needs better crop-rotation and irrigation planning, but generic software does not fit the property and specialist consulting is expensive. The useful inputs already exist across satellite images, historical records, and operating spreadsheets.

What the team builds

The winery combines those sources in a tailored simulation and optimization tool, then iterates until it reflects the land and current agricultural science. It compares scenarios and produces practical daily and weekly task lists, with a representative result of 20% lower costs and 15% higher output.

20% lower costs 15% higher output Daily + weekly plans

Starting prompt

Build a vineyard planning and optimization app using our satellite imagery, block boundaries, crop history, soil and water data, and operating spreadsheets. Simulate crop-rotation and irrigation strategies, optimize land and water use, and produce daily and weekly task lists. Explain recommendations using current agricultural science, let us compare scenarios and override assumptions, and record actual outcomes so the model improves each season.

04 / TRUST BY DESIGN

Generated code is sandboxed and goes through a thorough security review.

Pierline separates creation from trust. Final artifacts move through configured source checks, independent review, signing, and exact-byte verification before Workshop hosts them inside a constrained runtime.

01

Independent validation

The complete release candidate is reviewed separately from the model that created it.

02

Verified release

Approval is bound to the exact artifact bytes and their deployment context.

03

Tenant governance

SharePoint and Entra remain the identity and authorization authorities.

05 / WORKSHOP TO HARBOR

One governed path,
shown end to end.

This is a real Workshop project moving from a plain-language request to a working app hosted by Harbor inside SharePoint. The screens below use a demonstration lawn-care application.

Describe it in Workshop

Start with the problem, not a specification.

Explain who needs the app, what they need to accomplish, and attach the files that give the work context.

Workshop Test screen showing that a private test page is ready 02

Try it privately

Test, learn, and ask for the next change.

Workshop prepares a private SharePoint page so the team can use the current version before deciding to refine or release it.

Workshop Publish screen with release and application data access controls 03

Verify through Harbor

Release only the reviewed artifact.

At the release boundary, Harbor verifies the signed, independently reviewed artifact and its exact bytes before hosting it.

A focused app, ready for the intended team.

The finished application runs inside the organization’s Microsoft 365 environment with its familiar identity and permissions.
