How our skill sets fit into your tools.
Three ways to bring our skill sets into whatever AI tool you use, all inside the IT rules you already have. Not ready for that yet? BBN AI Space is an easy place to start.
Our three integration paths, side by side.
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standard that lets AI tools talk securely to outside data sources and systems. For most setups, it's the simplest way in.
Running Copilot Studio agents? There's an M365-specific path built just for that. And for any tool that doesn't speak MCP yet, we ship a dedicated import package.
| A Option A MCP | B Option B Copilot Studio | C Option C Import package | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | Most AI stacks. Claude, Copilot, ChatGPT, and custom assistants that speak MCP. | Microsoft-standardized orgs that want agents managed inside their M365 tenant. | Non-MCP runtimes and sovereign cloud setups. |
| Where it shows up | Your AI app's chat surface: Claude, ChatGPT, Salesforce Agentforce, Frontify, or any MCP-compatible assistant. | Copilot chat, Teams, Outlook; anywhere your users already work with Copilot (depending on your specific setup path). | The runtime you import into: Gemini Gems, Copilot Cowork, AWS Bedrock, Azure OpenAI, air-gapped custom setups. |
| Update cadence | Continuous | Monthly | Quarterly |
| IT effort | Low | Medium | High |
| Data leaves your boundary | No | No | No |
| Who owns the files | BBN AI Studio hosts the endpoint; you flip versions. | Your M365 tenant; IT controls every release. | You own the files. Highest control, highest responsibility. |
Test the skill sets without integrating.
Want to try the skill sets before integrating anything? BBN AI Space is open anytime, for testing or as a bridge while IT gets ready.
It's our own production-grade platform with every skill set already installed, so you can start right away and move into your own AI tool whenever you're ready.
How the integration works.
Our skill sets are up and running fast: days from signature to first results, not the months a typical IT project takes. No migration, no training course.
- 1 The kickoff
Choose your integration path.
Once you've signed the monthly subscription, we help you pick the simplest path for your stack. From there, access runs on your existing single sign-on.
- 2 Day 1
Skill sets unlocked.
The default skill sets are ready on day one and drop straight into whatever AI tool your team already uses.
- 3 Day 2 to day 10
First real wins.
From the very first tasks, prompts, and briefs, your team feels the difference. And that's just the start.
- 4 After onboarding
Calibration and fine-tuning.
To fit your market, company, and workflows, we go beyond the defaults: one of our experts works with you to tune the skill sets to your brand, your audiences, and your tone.
That same person stays on call for questions and requests, and folds in every new skill set as it ships.
Data, governance, and EU AI Act compliance? Handled.
Your infrastructure. Your boundary.
Skill set execution happens inside your AI platform or tenant. Prompts and outputs never pass through BBN AI Studio infrastructure. Model vendor terms and DLP policies apply as you have already configured them.
GDPR-ready, Frankfurt-hosted, restrictable by region.
Skill set artifacts and any optional telemetry are hosted on EU infrastructure. Frankfurt data residency is the default.
No training on your prompts.
New skill sets are written by our named senior practitioners, who distill their best practices into clear instructions for your AI. Your data is never part of that. And your model vendor's own no-training terms still cover your prompts, references, and outputs.
Every change is logged.
Skill sets are versioned. Each change ships with a changelog (what changed, why, who approved). Older versions remain available for rollback. You see exactly what your team's AI is doing on your behalf.
AI declared, humans accountable.
AI use is declared in contracts and in output metadata. Every skill set has a named human accountable for it: the practitioner who built it. Creation processes are logged and auditable, with no black boxes and no unsigned work.
DPA, GTC, and CC included.
BBN AI Studio ships with a Data Processing Agreement, General Terms and Conditions, and Code of Conduct aligned to the EU AI Act. Legal review packs are available for procurement on request.
What IT, security, and procurement ask before go-live.
What happens to our data when we use a BBN AI Studio skill set?
In all three integration options, the skill set executes inside your AI platform or tenant. Prompts and outputs never transit BBN AI Studio infrastructure. Your model vendor’s terms apply.
What if our AI platform does not speak MCP yet?
Use Option C. Skill sets are delivered as import packages that drop into whatever runtime you use: Google Gemini Gems, isolated sovereign setups, air-gapped assistants, and similar all sit on Option C until MCP support arrives.
What if none of the three paths is unlocked yet?
BBN AI Studio is the service: the skill sets and the people behind them. BBN AI Space is a workspace: our own professional platform with the skill set library preloaded. Most teams use it to demo BBN AI Studio, test it on real briefs, and bridge interim production while IT prepares the primary AI platforms. Space is production-grade. Skill sets are portable: when your primary AI is ready, the same skill sets move into it. See BBN AI Space at https://bbn-international.com/b2b-ai-space/.
Can we run BBN AI Studio entirely on our infrastructure?
Yes. Option B (Copilot Studio) and Option C (Import) both run entirely inside your boundary. Option A (MCP) also executes inside your AI platform. For sovereign cloud or air-gapped setups, Option C is the path.
How is identity and access handled?
Authentication uses your existing SSO. Access rules, roles, and audit logs stay in your platform. We do not issue a new identity layer or hold user accounts on our side.
What logs and audit trails do we get when skill sets run?
Skill set execution sits inside your AI platform, so the logs your IT team already collects cover prompts, outputs, identities, and timestamps. On top of that, BBN AI Studio publishes a per-skill-set changelog (what changed, why, who approved) so you can tie output quality back to the skill set version that produced it.
What happens if a skill set update breaks our workflow?
Previous skill set versions stay available. Roll back in minutes. Option A flips the live version, Option B re-imports the prior package, Option C reverts to the prior file set. Changelogs make every revert auditable.
