## Summary

A user in a company environment encountered restrictions when trying to use AI tools for work. Their company’s internal AI could generate Excel files and images but struggled with PowerPoint or advanced automation. The free version of Copilot was deemed unusable for their needs, and a request to use Copilot Studio was rejected by their department.

Attempting to install Claude Code Pro on their work PC required administrator permission, which they lacked. The user resorted to using Claude’s web version instead. They noted three lessons: compare AI tools before committing, ask internal departments about feasibility, and adapt to available constraints. The post concludes with plans to explore Claude’s web version further and invites others facing similar AI adoption challenges to follow along.

## Key points

- Company’s internal AI lacks PowerPoint support and produces low-quality images
- Copilot Studio request denied by the user’s department for automation tasks
- Claude Code Pro installation blocked without administrator permission on work PC

## Why it matters

Personal struggles with corporate AI restrictions highlight real-world barriers to productivity tools. Many users may face similar limitations, forcing workarounds or reliance on personal devices.
