A recap of Dynaimix’s Intro to AI Training at Cannon & Wendt Electric, Phoenix, April 7 and 8, 2026
Cannon & Wendt Electric has been doing this for more than seventy years. Quality electrical construction, skilled people, continuing education built into the fabric of how the company operates. So when their leadership brought roughly 50 people together for two full days of AI training, it was not a departure from who they are. It was completely consistent with it.
On April 7th and 8th, Dynaimix AI trainer Dan Callahan led Cannon & Wendt’s Intro to AI training at the company’s headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona. The room included members of their internal AI committee alongside representatives from multiple departments across the organization. The energy was focused, the participation was genuine, and the conversations that came out of it were exactly the kind that move a company forward.
Cannon & Wendt has standardized on Microsoft Copilot as their LLM, which gave the training a sharp and practical focus from the start. Rather than covering AI at a surface level, Dan went deep on Copilot specifically, including capabilities from Microsoft’s Wave 3 rollout and a preview of Copilot Cowork, which is expected to launch this month. That combination of what is available now and what is coming next gave the room something to work with immediately and something to look forward to.
The Copilot Agents portion of the training produced some of the richest discussion of both days. The ideas that surfaced were grounded and specific: schedule comparisons, SOP development, documentation workflows that currently eat time and create friction. These were not hypothetical applications. They were real problems the people in that room deal with on actual projects, and working through them together gave the team a concrete sense of how AI fits into the way they already operate.
Notebooks generated strong interest as well, particularly around submittal documents. For a firm running complex electrical construction projects across multiple teams, the ability to use Copilot Notebooks to organize and work through large document sets has direct operational value. It is the kind of capability that shows up in project efficiency, not just in theory but in practice.
The training also covered third-party tools that extend Copilot’s usefulness for different roles throughout the organization. That matters in a company like Cannon & Wendt, where an estimator, a project manager, and someone in operations all have different daily workflows and different places where AI can help most.
One thing that stood out across both days was how the room was already thinking. The conversations around Copilot Agents and the preview of Copilot Cowork made it clear that this group is already thinking in agentic terms. They are not just exploring AI out of curiosity. They are thinking about what it looks like when workflows run smarter, when teams can focus on higher-value work, and when the tools they use are actually built around how they operate. When Cowork launches, this team will be positioned to move quickly.
Dynaimix is proud to have been part of this training and looks forward to continuing to support Cannon & Wendt as they move from learning into building.
