🔎 Ops Prompt of the Week
Prompt:
“You are building a two-agent AI system. The first agent monitors incoming support tickets in real time and flags those containing high-priority keywords. The second agent drafts response templates for flagged tickets. Coordinate the agents so that when the first high-priority ticket is handled, a notification is sent to the operations lead.”
What it does: Helps ops teams prototype a multi-agent workflow for ticket triage and response.
Why it matters: Demonstrates how agents can split responsibility across specialized tasks and collaborate in sequence.
How to vary: Use similar patterns for multi-agent workflows in inventory monitoring + reorder agents, or safety incident detection + task assignment agents.

Insight: Model Context Protocol – AI Agents’ New API Bridge
The **Model Context Protocol (MCP)** is emerging as a cross-platform standard that lets AI agents tap into tools like Slack, GitHub, databases, and web search in a unified way. Backed by OpenAI, Microsoft, Anthropic, and others, MCP enables secure, tool-augmented reasoning across vendor ecosystems. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
Why it matters: • Simplifies agent orchestration in multi-agent workflows. • Supports safer, permissioned toolchains for production agents. • Aligns with news on Copilot Studio’s orchestration—raising the bar for enterprise-grade AI ops.
🎉 Fun Prompt of the Week
“Write a playful conversation between two AI agents: ‘ScoutBot,’ who identifies low-stock inventory, and ‘OrderBot,’ who places the reorder and sends a confirmation. End with a team alert summarizing both actions in a cheerful tone.”
What it does: Tests multi-agent interaction, hand-off, and reporting logic.
Why it’s fun: Offers teams a chance to visualize coordinated agent workflows in a playful scenario.
