The IT AI Quickstart Pack

A working slice of the IT AI Stack methodology, not a prompt dump.

One-time. Updates included.

“Battle-tested in production environments.”

That is how Jared Spataro, Microsoft’s CMO for AI at Work, described my free, open-source Copilot prompt library in the AI at Work newsletter, February 2026. He was citing that free repo, not this product. This is the paid work from the same practice, held to the same standard.

The situation

Most $29 prompt packs are one-line prompts you could have typed yourself, and they leave the real questions untouched: what should be a prompt, what deserves an agent, and what should stay a script.

What this is

The Quickstart is a slice of the full IT AI Stack: fifty engineered prompts with guardrails ported from tested agents, one complete tenant-tested agent with its smoke fixture and answer key, the three input templates the prompts lean on most, and the one-page rule for choosing prompt vs agent vs flow vs script.

The method in one line: AI prepares, humans decide. Every prompt leaves the decision, the send, and the signature to a person.

What is inside

Fifty engineered prompts across service desk, identity, security ops, M365 admin, cloud, FinOps, projects and architecture, each with CONTEXT, TASK, INPUT, OUTPUT FORMAT and GUARDRAILS
One complete tested agent: the First-Response Drafter, with paste-ready instructions (2,422 characters, count-checkable), build notes, smoke fixture and answer key
Three input templates: the ticket strip, the cost pivot, and the tenant profile
The Choose-Your-Lane page: prompt vs agent vs flow vs script, decided in six rows
The First 10 IT AI Opportunities card

Who it is for

IT practitioners who want a taste of the methodology before committing to the full stack
Anyone whose desk fields tickets, changes, incidents, or cost questions weekly

Who it is not for

Teams: the licence is one named purchaser. Team-wide deployment is the full stack’s Organization Edition.
Anyone expecting ten agents; this pack ships one complete agent as the worked example, the other nine live in the full stack.

First 10 IT AI Opportunities is free and covers the same ground at a smaller scale. If it is useful, this is the full version.

Questions people actually ask

Is this just the free card plus prompts?

No. The free card is the build sequence on two pages. This pack adds the fifty engineered prompts, a complete tested agent with the instruments to verify your own build of it, the input templates, and the decision rule. It is deliberately a working slice of the full stack’s method.

If I buy this and then want the full stack, do I pay twice?

The Quickstart is $29 and the full stack starts at $99; there is no upgrade coupon in v1. If you already know you want the operating layer, start with the stack.

Buying this with a company card?

Most buyers expense it. Your receipt email carries a Generate link that opens an invoice generator: add your billing address, put your legal company name and any reference your finance team needs in the Additional notes box, and download the PDF. If you have an EU VAT number, enter it at checkout and no VAT is charged. Here is the approval email, so you do not have to write one.
