🤯 Your $30 Copilot license could be the cheapest part of your AI bill.
Microsoft, Anthropic, and OpenAI are moving more AI capabilities to consumption-based billing. Every prompt, agent run, and retry can add to the bill.
Poor data governance can mean wasted tokens, unnecessary AI usage, and higher bills. One unmanaged agent can turn into a six-figure bill.
Join Orchestry CEO Michal Pisarek and Tom Arbuthnot, Co-Founder and CTO of https://t.co/ZOG3rz1e8v, to find out:
✅ Why your Copilot license is just the starting cost
✅ What's new, what's already retired, and how AI billing is changing
✅ How consumption-based billing works across Copilot, Cowork, and AI agents
✅ Where unexpected costs and token waste come from
✅ How to govern AI costs without slowing adoption

Orchestry has been named in new Gartner research on governing Microsoft AI agent building. 🎉
As AI makes it easier for more people to build agents across the Microsoft ecosystem, organizations need a way to scale innovation without losing control.
In its report, Implement Adaptive Governance to Safely Scale Microsoft Agent Building, Gartner explores how organizations can apply governance controls proportionate to the risk of citizen-built agents. Orchestry is named among the third-party solutions organizations can look to for signals on agent governance.
Knowing what agents exist is only the beginning. Organizations also need visibility and accountability to scale AI safely.

🔥 Here's a question that makes M365 admins sweat more than any hot sauce: how many AI agents are running in your tenant right now, and who built them?
We're betting most people can't answer it, and we're not afraid to say so.
That's why we saved agent sprawl for the season finale of M365 Hot Takes.
🌶️ Two Microsoft MVPs, two Orchestry hosts, three hot sauces, and the most unfiltered conversation about AI agents you'll hear this year.
Come join us October 27 for Episode 3: The agents are already in your tenant.
Have an agent horror story or unpopular opinion? Bring your own hot take to the table. The spiciest one wins a prize.

Your Microsoft 365 agent count might be accurate, and still be incomplete.
Each admin surface reveals a different part of the picture: drafts, SharePoint agents, Foundry agents and shadow AI all have their own visibility gaps.
So how many agents are actually in your tenant? And what’s missing?
We break down what each surface reveals, what slips through the cracks, and why no single count tells the whole story.

Our CEO, Michal Pisarek, has some bold thoughts in our M365 Hot Takes series. 🌶️
We’re not afraid to say what others won’t, and the season finale is going straight for the hottest topic in Microsoft 365 right now.
🔥 Episode 3: The Agents Are Already In Your Tenant
AI is already here. But who’s accountable for the agents nobody approved, the shadow AI nobody tracked, and the sprawl nobody saw coming?
We’re closing out the season with unfiltered, bold opinions from Microsoft MVPs who’ve seen it all and aren’t afraid to say it like it is.

Most organizations are still preparing for AI.
The harsh truth? AI is already here. So why are we still talking about getting ready?
🌶️ Stephanie Donahue, Ben Stegink, Michal Pisarek, and Joy Apple are taking on agent sprawl, shadow AI, and the question nobody wants to answer: Who gets blamed when AI goes wrong?
It’s the M365 Hot Takes season finale, and we’re ending the series with bold opinions and hard truths about AI in Microsoft 365.
Got an opinion? Bring it. Challenge the panel in the chat, and your hot take could win a prize. 🔥

How many guests are sitting in your Microsoft 365 tenant right now? And how many of them shouldn’t be?
Guests get added, access gets granted, and then they just sit in your directory. No clear owner, no context, and no end date.
With external sharing moving to Entra B2B, that guest list is only getting harder to ignore.
So how do you actually keep guest access under control?
We break down how Orchestry manages the guest lifecycle from onboarding to cleanup, including two new releases that make both easier.
🔎 See what’s already accumulated in your tenant:

Your AI agents might be outliving their purpose. 👀
A project ends. An owner leaves. An experiment gets forgotten.
But the agent? It may still be running, and it may still have access.
Sound familiar? We’ve seen this sprawl movie before with Teams, SharePoint, and Microsoft 365 Groups.
The question isn’t just how many agents you have. It’s whether you know who owns them, what they can access, and which ones should still exist.
We’re making the case for agent lifecycle management in Microsoft 365.

Your permission mess is about to get exposed. ⛔
AI doesn’t care about the “just share it” decisions you made ten years ago. It can surface them all.
We’re turning up the heat with Orchestry’s in-house experts and Microsoft MVP guests to talk about what happens when messy permissions and oversharing finally come due.
💥 For Episode 2, we’re tackling permission debt.
Years of oversharing, “restricted” content that isn’t, forgotten permissions, and the cleanup that’s been kicked down the road.
And yes, the hot sauce gets worse with every take. 🔥
No scripts. No safe answers. Just unfiltered takes and fiery debate.
Come agree, disagree, and bring your own opinions. Nothing is off limits.

Next week we're in Denver for the EDUCAUSE Annual Conference 🏔️
Every year EDUCAUSE asks its members to rank the issues facing higher ed IT. Knowledge management for safer AI landed at #5 and data analytics for operational and financial insights at #3. On most campuses, both of those start with the same pile of content: sites created for courses that ended semesters ago, research nobody labeled, and guests added for a project that wrapped long ago.
It shows up on your Microsoft storage bill first and in your Copilot results second. The good news is that it's one cleanup, not two.
Come find us at booth #763 and let's chat about where this stands at your institution. What's further along on your campus, the storage cleanup or the AI readiness work?

Everyone claims their tenant is "AI-ready." We're not convinced.
So we're bringing together four Microsoft MVPs to tell you why.
🌶️ M365 Hot Takes is a new three-episode series where Microsoft experts debate the opinions that nobody wants to say out loud. Live and unscripted.
We're kicking things off on September 23 with Marc D Anderson and Julie Turner in Episode 1: "AI-ready" is a lie in Microsoft 365.
Agree? Disagree? Come join the conversation.

We want to hear from you. Nothing is off limits, and the spiciest take might just win a prize.
🤖 Getting a list of agents is the easy part.
The hard part starts when you ask what they can access, what they’re connected to, and what’s happening behind the scenes.
Agents don’t exist in isolation. They sit on top of your Microsoft 365 environment: your permissions, your content, and the Power Platform behind them.
That’s why we built AI & Agents: a new layer of visibility and governance for every agent across your tenant, in one place.

How many AI agents are in your Microsoft 365 tenant? Depends where you look.
Every one of them will hand you a different number, and every one of them is correct. Each counts a different slice of the same tenant. Getting a single number means either reconciling four exports by hand or using a tool that crawls across them.
But the real question isn't just how many agents you have.
It's which ones you should be worried about, and what you can do about them.
Here's what one roster across the whole tenant looks like 👇https://t.co/pVDPd3HrWR
It’s too late to get ready for AI. It’s already in your tenant, and the sprawl is growing where you can’t see it.
The problem now is: what can you actually do about the agents already running in your tenant?
Today, that changes. 🚀
Introducing Orchestry's newest capability: AI & Agents ✨
✅ One view, instead of five portals
✅ A 0 to 100 risk score you can actually explain
✅ See who built them, what they can access, and what they can do

Winner, winner, chicken dinner!
At TechCon365 Seattle, we locked our LEGO Donkey Kong set in a box and challenged attendees to find the key that opened it.
🔑 Hundreds of keys. Only one that worked.
👏 Congrats to our winner, Christina Byers!
Enjoy the build, and thanks for stopping by the Orchestry booth. 🦍
Turns out finding the right key is a lot easier when you know where to look. 😉
