‘Twas the Night Before Christmas – Power Platform Planner Edition 🎅🎄

’Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house,
Mrs. Claus was busy — chasing a little mouse!
Her mind was abuzz with the holiday spree,
“I need a solution, Power Platform, hear me!”

“I am Mrs. Claus, and I’m here to request
A tool for my husband, the holiday’s best.
Santa needs help with his global endeavor,
Tracking kids’ gifts and their behavior — clever!”

Biz problem

 

The Planner responded with AI delight,
“I’ll draft your solution to make it just right.”
Out came user stories, one, two, three,
For Santa, Mrs. Claus, and the elves’ jubilee.

Santa story

Mrs claus story

Elf story

 

Santa’s app would keep him on track,
With routes and kids in his digital pack.
Mrs. Claus, the queen of inventory,
Had a dashboard and tools to tell the full story.

Santa app

 

The elves got a workspace, tidy and neat,
To log toy completions and schedules to meet.
Dataverse powered the data so well,
With naughty or nice lists as easy as Excel.

Apps

The Planner then showed the data model’s might:
A table for children, one for gifts, just right.
Relationships clear and entities defined,
Santa’s task list was instantly refined.

Erd

 

“Now approve,” it prompted, “and apps will appear,
For tasks, gifts, and kids — all holiday cheer!”
With a click from Mrs. Claus, the work was complete,
A suite of Power Apps, efficient and sweet.

List of apps

 

Santa’s sleigh dashboard tracked every last deed,
With Power Apps lighting his way at top speed.
Nice kids like Tommy, who helped rake the leaves,
Would wake to new toys under festive trees.

Gift list

 

But for Emily, who teased her poor brother Sam,
A lump of coal was in the program.
Even the elves sang the praises of tech,
“Power Platform has saved us from wreck!”

Child list

 

When the work was all done, and the elves went to bed,
Mrs. Claus raised her cocoa and happily said,
“It’s an AI Christmas miracle, all thanks to this tool,
Power Platform has made us the Yule-time cool!”

Mrs claus app

 

So to all holiday makers, here’s wisdom to savor:
When planning gets tough, trust Power Platform’s favor.
Happy holidays to all, and to all a good night,
May your apps and solutions be merry and bright!


Julie uses AI to get new headshots

Oh, AI, you’re everywhere. 

And that’s ok.

I usually adore you.

Yesterday we agreed you’d make some new images for me.  Headshots actually.  I gave you some photos of me, and for a small fee, you generated new versions of me.

100 versions of me actually.

Several of the new me look reasonably like me me.

45

Most of your versions of me have really great hair.

A few of me have put on significant weight without even the joy of eating the cookies and drinking the wine.

Some reassemble my sister.

32

Sometimes I look like my daughter.

16

You made a younger me, too.

31

On first glance, she looks reasonable, but she really has no chin.  Directly to neck.

78

I don’t even know who she is…

Try it yourself.  There are several options, but I do have a referral code for the one I used.  I get rewards.  You get a discount. https://www.aragon.ai?referralCode=202u%2BzFI1Bu9FC4dxVnHD9
