Observations, Customer Quibbles, Short Monologues of tiny impact. AI stuff that makes work more fun.

A pretty common question I get from people is what’s the difference between a “Skill” and an Automation and how/why should I make a skill in Microsoft Scout or Copilot Cowork.

Simply put, if you’re going to potentially do whatever you did a second time - there’s zero harm in simply telling it “save this as a skill (insert name or let it choose one.”

An automation is just like telling an employee “hey when this happens / or on this schedule, I need you to do (whatever, typically involves some skills you have made), with the ultimate outcome of (whatever you’re really hoping to get out of this, sometimes less is actually better!).”

Check this out - it’s how I took Mike Gaal’s amazing idea/prompt to get an evaluation of every 1:1 I have, and created a skill and an automation base on it in Microsoft Scout.

Quick video.

The coolest thing about Scout isn’t necessarily the “how” it does stuff, it’s watching people go from the merely curious to the “holy sh*t - this thing is amazing” within about 10 minutes or less of initial use.

Usually that happens because for the first time ever, it just took work OFF their plate that they never liked doing anyway and suddenly they can dream of their job being a bit more fun than it was 10 minutes ago.

That’s Scout.

It’s been wild seeing how #MicrosoftScout is enabling people inside MSFT to work through/around previously impossible internal bureaucratic blockers. Folks are literally unleashed by this tool to move faster and to help their employees be more successful. Exciting times!

@OmarShahine Thanks Omar!

Check out @jraphael10 Microsoft Scout app overview. Justin is one of our most engaged member of our internal Scout community and has done a great job sharing his experience with Scout.

[jraphael10 @jraphael10]

It’s pretty awesome to be able to show the power of Microsoft Scout - use AI to “AI-ify” itself on your behalf - act as your business travel agent- uses are truly only bounded by your imagination.

Introducing Microsoft Scout, the first autopilot agent from Microsoft - 57 days after starting my new job, we are launching Microsoft Scout to our Frontier customers. Big day for the team and for @openclaw #MicrosoftBuild https://t.co/ZGl47ADnCg

@sumit_c Super cool! Well done!

[jraphael10 @jraphael10]

@specialopsmag It's true. I'm sure if there were signups right there and then, half a class would have easily signed up. Definitely everyone was juiced

[jraphael10 @jraphael10]

@BradGroux So true.

[jraphael10 @jraphael10]

@BradGroux The one caveat or addition I’d give to this, would be the winners are the folks who also fully understand/can defend whatever their AI generated output is.

[jraphael10 @jraphael10]

Well said. There is no better time to “dive in” than now, get in as they say because the water is warm.;) I do feel like many companies (big and small, but mostly big) delay things (to their detriment) because they’re waiting for “maturity” - they want AI to feel like a polished iPhone 10 versus the semi buggy iPhone 3 basically. The problem with that mindset is the pace of change and the capabilities that AI provides means an exponentially widening performance gap between those who dive in and embrace some tinkering friction and those who sit on the sidelines .

Starting the week with a legit useful email from a manager is a rare event for most people, but #CopilotCowork makes it not just possible but probable:

@Microsoft365 @MSFTnews Well said!
Here's one sales thing I do with Cowork often: https://t.co/SIeuffdNZy

[jraphael10 @jraphael10]

What if your AI could read every Teams call, email, and Slack chat… and tell you which Q4 deals are about to blow up — before your CRM even knows? 😳
I built the exact Copilot Cowork prompt that runs my entire book of business.
It spots the delta between what sellers say and what’s actually happening.
Steal it before Q4 hits.

Absolutely love the @WynnLasVegas - service is best in the industry. Thank you!

@geekwire Great write up. It’s a unique strategy and technical needle to thread . I think ultimately it’ll prove to be a winner.

@matvelloso I interviewed the Group Pm for OneNote/Copilot Notebook a week or so ago actually, the direction for OneNote and Copilot Notebook is pretty compelling. Check it out here -
