We Built a Microsoft 365 SaaS Dashboard with ChatGPT—in Under 60 Minutes

HarjTech used ChatGPT and Microsoft Graph API to build a working Microsoft 365 SaaS dashboard in under an hour—proving that AI can replace expensive, off-the-shelf platforms with fast, secure, in-house solutions.

For most organizations, the biggest struggle isn’t ambition—it’s control. Departments each adopt their own systems. Projects are tracked in silos. Documents live in emails, desktops, or cloud folders. Approvals sit in inboxes waiting for action. Leaders end up managing the chaos instead of managing the business.

At HarjTech, we believe there’s a better way. By leveraging AI and automation, organizations can drastically reduce manual effort, remove repetitive tasks, and gain visibility into operations that were previously fragmented.

To prove it, we built a working SaaS product in just 60 minutes. Using ChatGPT and the Microsoft Graph API, our team created the HarjTech M365 SaaS Starter—a solution that connects directly to your Microsoft 365 environment (SharePoint, Teams, Power Platform) and gives leaders the insights they need, without spending hundreds of thousands on third-party SaaS platforms.

What Is the HarjTech M365 SaaS Starter?

Think of it as a command center for your Microsoft 365 ecosystem.

Instead of logging into different apps to check activity, usage, or documents, this starter solution pulls everything into one clean dashboard. Built with Next.js, TypeScript, and Tailwind, it’s fast, modern, and secure. Authentication is handled through Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD), so only authorized users can see the data.

What it includes today:

  • Leadership Dashboard
    View KPIs and tenant insights at a glance. Leaders can track activity across users, sites, and teams without needing multiple reports.
  • User Profile
    Get clarity on users and their roles, including manager relationships. A single pane of glass for HR and IT leaders.
  • SharePoint Visibility
    See sites, drives, and items, complete with icons, breadcrumbs, and metrics. No more digging through layers of folders—leaders can instantly see how SharePoint is being used, where files live, and what activity is happening.
  • Teams Activity
    Access a list of Teams and channels across the organization. Understand where collaboration is happening and identify inactive or duplicate spaces that create confusion.
  • Power Platform Inventory
    List Power Apps and Flows by environment. This is huge for IT directors—finally, a clear way to track what automations exist, who owns them, and where there may be risks.
  • Settings Page
    Configure runtime options without needing code changes. Leaders can adjust and personalize the dashboard without going back to IT.

Security Built In:
The solution enforces strict headers, per-IP rate limits, and never logs tokens. Only read-only delegated permissions are used, so you get visibility without opening the door to risk.

Why Does This Matter?

Every organization struggles with resource visibility. Even enterprises with large IT teams often can’t answer basic questions quickly:

  • How many Teams are active right now?
  • Where are critical project documents stored?
  • Which Power Automate workflows are running?
  • Are staff duplicating efforts across different systems?

Without these answers, businesses drift into inefficiency. Staff waste hours looking for information. Leaders make decisions without complete data. Compliance risks increase because nobody has the full picture.

The HarjTech M365 SaaS Starter solves this by:

  • Creating a single view of Microsoft 365 activity – no more scattered reporting.
  • Highlighting inefficiencies – inactive Teams, redundant flows, or forgotten SharePoint sites.
  • Improving governance – visibility into permissions and usage patterns helps prevent shadow IT.
  • Reducing wasted costs – stop paying for duplicate SaaS solutions when you can see what you already own.
  • Demonstrating AI’s potential – the demo itself shows leaders how fast and practical in-house solutions can be.

The Benefits for Leaders

  1. Faster Decisions: Leaders no longer wait for manual reports. Insights are live and accessible.
  2. Lower Costs: Instead of buying expensive SaaS platforms, you can build tailored solutions in-house.
  3. Better Compliance: Visibility into where data lives and who has access strengthens governance.
  4. Staff Productivity: Teams stop duplicating work and start focusing on business outcomes.
  5. Future-Proofing: The starter is a foundation—you can extend it with AI to automate reporting, detect risks, or even predict trends.
