The hardest part of the LightningCopilot project wasn’t building the LWC.
It was getting Entra ID, Power Platform, and Copilot Studio to all agree on who you are — silently.

Federated credentials, custom scopes, Static Resources instead of CDNs… a dozen small things that had to line up!

AI agents are moving from buzzword to baseline.

Most companies plan to make them core to their AI strategy within a year.
Want to learn how to build one the right way?

Check out the Microsoft Copilot & AI Agents Summit (Nov 26–27).
Real examples, and practical frameworks!

Finally published the LightningCopilot walkthrough, how to run a Microsoft Copilot Studio agent inside Salesforce Lightning with Entra ID SSO + MSAL.
It’s a proper step-by-step, not another “just drop an iframe” post.

Remember: agents drift when they reread their mistakes. Trim history, externalize state, feed less back. Reliability rises.

Majority voting barely improves long-horizon reliability. Thinking tokens, ie: "reasoning" before acting, win every time. Pay for the right compute.

My desk looks like a small tornado passed through, coffee mug, cables, notebooks, and a few rogue spinner magnets that didn’t survive another fidget session.
Some people need calm to focus; I apparently need creative chaos.
Curious, what’s the one item on your desk you can’t live without?

Agent build tip: Plan externally, execute in small, verifiable steps. Cleaner pipelines.

Drift happens when agents read their own bad outputs. Cut context, watch error rate, escalate sooner. Human in the loop!

Step 1: Create the PIM‑enabled group.
Entra → Group → Enable PIM → add Eligible Member assignments (time‑boxed).

An “ethical AI” report shipped with 15+ fake citations. Why? Hallucinations + humans pasting smart-sounding lines. I share a simple playbook to stop ghost citations and keep trust.

💭 Track horizon length, not just accuracy. Tiny per‑step gains can mean big jumps in how far agents run without help.

Still giving standing access in Defender XDR?
Use PIM‑for‑Groups + URBAC for JIT, time‑boxed permissions.

Air-gapped networks aren’t as secure as many think. Stuxnet proved that. Insider threats prove that. Meanwhile, HTTPS/TLS provides a controlled, encrypted tunnel—similar to a VPN. It’s time to rethink our approach to security.

Went live with @Merrill last week to break down the new Conditional Access deployment guide + setup.cloud.microsoft. Super slick way to deploy CA right. 🔐

VPNs are widely trusted for security, but HTTPS/TLS achieves many of the same security goals—just at the application layer. If we trust VPNs, why dismiss HTTPS/TLS as “open internet”?

No data center? No problem.
I built an AI chatbot with Docker, an RTX 3080, and NGINX—secure, fast, and fully local.

Huh what - local inference with docker? Yup.
✅ Local inference with vLLM
✅ Secured with NGINX & Certbot
✅ Fast, private, and free
