## Overview

A partner describes what they learned in the Red Carpet Copilot Program, which helps partners turn concepts and ideas into AI-powered solutions their clients can use. The partner says getting started is the biggest challenge and that other partners also struggle with defining use cases.

The partner says the main effort in building a copilot function is prompt engineering, which takes time and needs continuous testing and validation to give customers the best answers. Automated testing is in place to check that copilot functions keep working as intended. The partner also says building a copilot should be a focused, team-based effort across the organization.

## Key points
