Remember that time we said, “ANYONE in the world can build Agents”…and guess what?

They did!

Now we have the predictable problem of you not know if you have 50 Agents in your org or 500. (I’m guessing 500)

Come find out at #MSIgnite next week!
Lab 662: Avoiding Agent Chaos with your new best friends #Agent365 and #Foundy governance tools.

Runs 4 times, grab a slot in the scheduler today! 🦞

It’s been ages since visit the Guinness superstore. There lots of horses like a carriage for the tourist.

Got little time before tomorrow so no drinking. 🤣 Maybe baby Guinness is an exception
