AI: "Would you like me to do a thing?"
Human: "Do the thing."
AI: "I cannot do the thing."
3 years after ChatGPT, this remains the state of the art AI assistant. At least if you're paying $30/mo for M365 Copilot.
Tell me again about "the year of agents".🫠

Success rate of Power Platform Monitor Alerts is now 31% after two months. Yes, you'd still be better off flipping a coin that trusting these Managed Environments features to alert you when your business process automation is failing.

Testing the Microsoft 365 Copilot Workflows (Frontier) agent is a fascinating peek into the world of how LLMs try to think. The date isn't always the same as the GPT 4.1 training data cut-off point. It drifts during the week, then soimehow resets after the weekend. Amazing.

Microsoft Agent 365 isn't so much a new thing, rather than just a way to offer existing services to AI agents in addition to human users. Here's a diagram for illustrating all the #Microsoft products that A365 touches:

I love how Claude Code product itself is vibe-coded. This $250 credit promo ended yesterday. Today, the UI counter reset itself back to full $250. Of course the actual billing is now based on consuming your regular Claude credits again.
It make perfect sense since LLMs don't know today's date.🤷♂️

Ajatella, että jo 25 vuotta sitten jotkut uskalsivat tämän sanoa ääneen. En kyllä itse uskaltaisi enää lukea tätä kirjaa, koska sen kuvaama roistovaltio olisi todennäköisesti paljon nykyistä kesympi.😐

I remembered Claude can create and render Mermaid diagrams, too. So I asked it to describe Microsoft Agent 365 architecture, again from the customer's perspective. Now there's a new Architecture Overview section on the A365 FAQ site: a365-faq.jukkan.com

Remember, kids: whenever you're building serious business process automation with Copilot Studio or other AI agents, start your instructions with these words.
"Today's date is: Now()"
Something I learned from #MSIgnite demos. Yes, this is real. No, I wouldn't say it's "rock solid". #CopilotStudio

Let me illustrate what part of the Office home page is now Office apps vs something else:
If you thought Microsoft couldn't do more to hide Office apps from the page where office[dot]com redirects to - think again!😛
This is what the Frontier users of "the service formerly known as Office" now sees in their Microsoft 365 #Copilot home page. Scrolling the sidebar won't show any apps.
