What a way to kick-off day 1 of the 5th annual Power Platform Community Conference! We sold out this year, with over 9,000 people joining from all around the world.
There’s never been a better time to be a maker. The tools are getting more powerful, more people can build than ever before, and the kinds of problems we can solve keep expanding. My Autopilot (Apollo) even made a cameo in the keynote.
Loved seeing what this community is building and sharing some of what we’ve been working on. And the week is just getting started here at #PPCC26. 🙌

The agent I demoed is a Microsoft Foundry hosted agent/autopilot. Messages arrive from Teams & Outlook (or locally), then it uses gpt-6-luna for reasoning and Decision 1 for fast decision making.
If you're in the Microsoft ecosystem WorkIQ is probably the most important tool you can give your agent! A memory store to let your agent scope memories depending on who its talking to or the channel its in is also very useful.
Made a high level diagram for more context💜
Last week in Cologne I showed how you can use the GitHub Copilot App and Foundry to build an agent you can deploy across Teams, Outlook or an app of your choice.
I also showed how you can integrate our new Decision 1 model for intent classification. I'm interested in agents that can recognise intent and then take action independetly if they decide they can be helpful, so this was fun to show!

I rebuilt my Power Apps canvas time tracker in Microsoft Copilot Code in under an hour, on the same Dataverse tables.
The trick wasn't a clever prompt. It was a detailed spec.

Copilot Cowork just got a serious upgrade. PROJECTS are here!
Give each project its own instructions. Keep the project context together. Find the files created by its tasks under Outputs.
Client engagements. App builds. Content production.
When you’re handing real work to an agent, the instructions and context deserve as much attention as the prompt.
This update was long overdue.
LET’S GOO!

Skills are now inside Copilot Brand Kits! 👀
Create a skill or import one directly into your kit, and make it available to everyone who has access.
I’d put the team’s presentation playbook here.
> How we turn a case study into a customer story.
> How we adapt a technical deck for executives.
> The review checklist we keep pasting into Copilot.
Those workflows can now live alongside the brand assets the team already uses.
Build the skill once. Share it through the Brand Kit.

The PowerPoint Agent is sooo good! You should try it out. I have 0 clue how to use PowerPoint, but now I shine in all my corporate presentations with my sleek AI-generated slides haha! It's such a lifesaver. I don't know how many hours I would have spent creating average slides otherwise.
