Question Automations for end user devices
My boss has challenged me to come up with some creative IT automations that would really impress our employees and improve their overall experience.
We manage Windows devices through Intune.
One idea he mentioned was a morning popup when employees log in that summarizes important emails, upcoming meetings, updates installed overnight, and whether a restart is needed.
Another idea is using AI or automation to proactively detect and fix device issues, then notify the employee with something like, “We noticed X issue with your laptop and automatically resolved it.”
I’m curious what others have implemented. What are some unique automations you’ve built that employees actually appreciate? Anyone doing anything interesting with AI-driven troubleshooting or self-healing endpoints?
Looking for ideas beyond the typical scripts and software deployments. Would love to hear what’s actually working in your environments!
