The model is not enough - it doesn't come with an understanding of how your business or team works. That context is spread across the work happening every day: files, conversations, emails, databases, and apps. Figuring out what matters for a particular task, and what the model actually needs, is a hard & unsolved problem.

That's why Work IQ + Copilot is special... so I white boarded a bit how it works under the hood.

Microsoft Foundry is the best platform for running agents in the enterprise - and one reason is the observability and governance features to keep your agent within the bounds you define 🔐🔎

Long running agents can reason, act, and use tools to help transform so many parts of a business - but doing so responsibly means you need to be able to confidentially answer: What can it access? What can it influence? Where can data go? Can I reconstruct what it's doing? Can I control and budget costs?

Check out the demo below to see how Foundry provides a platform to answer all of these questions for you, and gives you a slick agentic developer experience to get it all up and running faster than ever before 🎉🧑‍💻

Your SharePoint list may not need Power BI yet.

Copilot in SharePoint preview can turn a list into a live-linked dashboard.

Use five prompts to define the view, KPI rules, filters, exceptions, and a source-and-refresh receipt.

Prototype faster. Keep governed BI governed.

The best first Copilot workflow is not the most impressive one. It is the job your team already repeats in SharePoint every week. Pick one of these 8 prompts, replace the example link, then verify the source, permissions and approval gate. #MicrosoftCopilot

Copilot in SharePoint can create files, organize content, build reports and automate repeatable work. Before using it, verify the content, permissions and approval gates. Start with one of these 7 workflows, not a tenant-wide rollout. #MicrosoftCopilot #SharePoint

A polished AI demo proves a workflow can work once. A test plan shows whether your business can trust it.

Before giving it more authority, test:
• normal work
• missing info
• conflicting info
• sensitive exceptions
• system failures

@jchilders98 Seeing clips of Maine politics or the daily comedy show in NYC - the clips of what the D's do are so ridiculous, they seem much more like bad SNL skits than reality. It's hard to believe they are real. As noted today, they jumped the shark a long time ago...

President Trump has endorsed @JohnJamesMI to be the next governor of Michigan. What’s your thoughts on this?

@aricnesbitt Yes this is very important and I support this in Michigan!

Another round of massive layoffs

All CEOs using the same script of "We are dominating right now! But we must lay off 20% of the company."

Despite the fact that this script is toxic and makes Americans hate AI, your takeaway should be this:

If you have not mastered AI by now, you are completely useless in today's workforce and are waiting to be laid off

You have 0 leverage and the clock is ticking

Crying on blueski that the data centers are drinking all the water and AI is just capitalism slop machines is only digging your own grave

AI is here. It will bring far sunnier day, but in the meantime it will bring massive disruption

If you're not preparing for this now, you are filled with entitlement and only hurting you and your family

And while I think many of these leaders are using AI as an excuse for their insane overspending in 2021 and not being prepared for market conditions (and you can now vibe code half these tools), the same takeaway should be had: learn all the tools available today including Codex, Claude Code, Hermes, OpenClaw, ChatGPT, Claude Design and others, or be doomed to being a statistic in a PR written tweet by your CEO on a Thursday afternoon

AI agents don’t fix messy operations. They expose them.

Before you build one, answer:
• Who owns it?
• Where does the data live?
• What counts as done?
• When should a human step in?
• What should it never do?

Reply CHECKLIST for the full 7-question version.

@emangare @Copilot @Outlook This looks like personal copilot, not m365 copilot

AI agents explained for business owners, not developers. What they do, why they matter, and how to use them.
