How Microsoft's AI VP automates everything with Warp | Marco Casalaina

About this episode

Marco Casalaina discusses how he automates tasks using AI tools like Warp and Microsoft 365 Copilot.

Marco Casalaina , VP of Core AI Products and AI Futurist at Microsoft, demonstrates how he uses AI tools to automate administrative tasks that typically consume valuable time.
