What if Microsoft Access could act as an AI Agent that actually does things in your database?

A number of students have emailed me recently asking if I have more projects planned involving Access and AI integration, and the answer is absolutely yes. One idea I've been working on is showing you how to turn Microsoft Access into an AI agent.

If you're not familiar with the term, an agent is basically AI that can take actions - not just give answers. Instead of asking, "What's this customer's phone number?" and getting a reply, you could say something like, "Mark order 14525 as paid," or, "Add a follow-up for me to call John Smith next Thursday," and it would actually do it. Behind the scenes, it could write and execute the SQL to add the record, or send an email, or update your database automatically.

I've already built a few AI tools for Access, like my AI Builder that can write SQL or simple VBA for your database. But this would take it a step further: giving the AI a defined list of commands it's allowed to execute - things like look up a customer, add a contact, cancel an order, remove someone from the mailing list, or send an email.

So the question is: would you be interested in seeing me build an Access AI Agent? Maybe first as a template, and if there's enough interest, a full seminar.

Would you use something like this?
