Microsoft MVP in AI & Azure

[Alec Harrison @Alec13355]

Back in February I wrote about Foundry Local — the pitch was "run real AI without paying the cloud tax." This is the follow-up where I put it to work on something I use every day: code review.

I gave one of my repos its own AI code reviewer.

One quote I heard today "if you can save people time, money, or convenience you have a business if you can do all 3 you have a home run" I think in the age of AI when 90% of POCs fail you have to ask yourself which of the 3 are you solving?

@HyVee I've notice a huge drop in quality of the mobile app and online ordering experience. Not sure how else to report the issues. Feels like it progressively gets harder to purchase from you all from slow searching to having to complete the checkout process multiple times.

If you say you’re an “AI Expert” but haven’t worked with any of the related technologies (chunking, indexing, agents, agent frameworks, foundry/bedrock, Claude code, etc) you look like someone not ironically sending this picture.

Stop trying to build a "Sentient Enterprise" on Day 1. You’re just burning cash. 💸
The smartest companies aren't building AI moonshots—they’re shipping "Micro-Wins."
Here is the blueprint for Enterprise AI that actually works:

What is stopping you from coding like this ?

[Alec Harrison @Alec13355]

Copilot Studio is dead (it just doesn't know it yet).

The real story from Ignite 2025 isn’t a new model. It’s that Microsoft quietly erased the line between Copilot Studio and Foundry.

Microsoft quietly made Copilot a consumer product too.
This changes pricing, accessibility, and the future of how we work.

Half the RAG examples out there feel like they were written by someone who’s never built anything.

So I wrote a real one

Azure OpenAI Responses API + Azure AI Search → grounded answers, real citations, and a tiny C# example that doesn’t waste your time.
