Two in-person seminars on AI and Microsoft Copilot, tailored to Premia’s teams in Athens.
On 10 September 2026, we delivered two in-person seminars at Premia Properties’ offices in Athens. Each 90-minute session combined AI fundamentals, responsible use and Microsoft Copilot, with examples shaped around the work of a real estate investment company. Premia wanted an interactive format, with time for questions and practical material that colleagues could revisit afterwards. This brief shaped the programme, from the choice of demonstrations to the reference documents supplied after the seminars.
“Silvercrest AI’s training was clear, practical and tailored to the needs of different teams at Premia. It combined AI fundamentals and the practical use of Microsoft Copilot with examples from our everyday work, giving participants a useful framework they can apply in practice.”

A practical starting point
The preparation started with Premia’s request for a general introduction to AI followed by a closer look at Copilot. Colleagues from different teams would attend, so the content needed to connect a shared set of principles with tasks relevant to their own roles. We built the programme around real estate examples and the Microsoft 365 environment, giving the discussion a concrete business context from the outset.
The foundations covered how AI models work, where their limitations become visible and how to recognise unreliable output. Data confidentiality was part of the same conversation: what information can be shared, what should be excluded and how to approach AI within a company setting. The programme also introduced an AI fluency framework covering delegation, clear instructions, critical assessment and responsibility. A reusable, seven-part prompt template and real estate prompt examples made those principles more tangible.
Demonstrations and conversation
Both seminars left space for questions throughout, alongside explanations and live demonstrations. This mattered for a group spanning different responsibilities: the same tool can raise very different questions depending on the task. The two groups contributed substantive questions, making discussion part of the sessions rather than something reserved for a final question-and-answer slot.
For the Copilot part, the programme featured a connected demonstration: preparing a fictional portfolio-review meeting from beginning to end. The teaching example brought together Outlook, the calendar, Teams, Excel, Word and PowerPoint. It placed individual capabilities within a recognisable sequence of work, showing how the tools could contribute to meeting preparation across applications. The fictional real estate scenario gave the demonstrations a shared context and linked the general principles from the first part of the seminar to a specific business task.
The agenda also included the Copilot Agent concept: defining instructions for a recurring task so that a team can return to a more consistent starting point. Together with the prompt framework, this introduced a way to think about repeatable requests. Checking the response, protecting confidential information and retaining responsibility for the final work remained part of the wider training context.
Materials to revisit
After the seminars, we sent Premia the full presentation, a practical reference handout and reusable real estate prompt templates in an editable document. This gave the teams the explanations and examples in a form they could return to at their own pace. The materials complemented the live discussion and preserved the prompt structures for later reference. We also offered to answer follow-up questions by email or phone, giving colleagues a point of contact when revisiting the material.
