Microsoft Office gets killed on this app every week.
Then Monday comes and someone in finance asks you to resend it in Excel.
One loud thread can send your rollout team chasing the wrong problem.
In Viva Engage, ask Copilot what's trending across your network. Click a theme to open the conversations behind it.
Check how many communities raised it before you change the rollout.
Try this:
✨
1. Open Viva Engage on the web. On the home page, select the Copilot icon.
2. Ask: Catch me up on trending themes across the network.
3. Click one theme reference. Check whether the same question appears in more than one community before acting on it.

Make the agent fail.
Seriously. Break a tool call and watch what happens next.
Microsoft reports the Copilot harness continued after failed tool calls 84–91% of the time. Standard? Under 7%.
Continuing isn’t the same as succeeding.
But I want to see the recovery. 👀

Microsoft just killed Claude.
Am I doing this right?
More model choice. More ways to get work done with Microsoft Copilot.
Anthropic's Claude Fable 5.2 is rolling out in Copilot Cowork and Copilot Studio, bringing enhanced reasoning and coding capabilities to complex tasks. Combined with Work IQ, Copilot delivers results grounded in your organization's context so responses reflect your actual work instead of the prompt alone.

ALT A Copilot interface showing a chat window with the text, 'Hi Elvia, how can I help?' Menus show various settings, including 'Auto,' 'GPT 4.7,' 'Claude,' and 'Anthropic.'
Power Automate Desktop has a FLOWCHART designer now.
Build, edit and debug with connected nodes, visible branches and loops. Existing flows can switch over too.
Still in preview.
Anyone who’s inherited a monster desktop flow knows this was overdue.

GitHub Apps can now manage enterprise Copilot seats.
New permission: Enterprise Copilot license management.
A useful building block for onboarding and license automation. The APIs are still in public preview.
One detail for your workflow: removing a seat assignment does NOT guarantee immediate access removal.
Build the offboarding logic properly.

Before Copilot edits your Word document:
Switch Word to Reviewing.
Then ask:
Update this monthly report using the latest numbers from /October Data Pull email.
Copilot finds the email.
Updates the report.
Restructures sections.
Fixes formatting.
Every edit lands as a tracked change.
Accept.
Reject.
Audit the AI line by line.

“Can we just clone the Power App for another department?”
Sure. Which copy are we fixing six months from now?

OpenAI built a KILL SWITCH for its research AI workloads.
Control Room cuts off a job’s model output within 35 seconds of receiving a stop instruction. Enforcement happens at the inference layer.
Building autonomous agents? Show me how you stop them.

LOL. Google Sheets was free too.
Companies have entire operations built around Microsoft 365. A free document editor doesn’t unwind that.
Meanwhile, Microsoft already offers Claude inside Copilot.
Who’s bundling who?
Cowork. Code. Autopilot. Visible by DEFAULT.
Microsoft 365 Copilot licensed users will see these experiences even if their organization hasn’t enabled access.
End of January 2027. End of February for deferred release.
Usage still requires an applicable spending policy and available Copilot Credits.
The “can we get access?” conversations are coming.

Stop making Copilot fight the demo for screen space.
In a Teams desktop meeting, open Copilot and click Open private Copilot in new window.
Move it to your second monitor or park it beside the call.
When you miss a step, ask what the presenter actually said while the demo is still on screen.

Fable 5.2 is GA in GitHub Copilot.
Benchmark the whole job. Correctness. Total cost. Recovery when a tool fails.
Then read the retention terms before enabling it for company code.
A model leaderboard should never double as your approval process.

The Standard harness in Copilot Studio is good.
The Microsoft Copilot harness is NEXT LEVEL.
Same model. Same tasks. Look at that gap.
And Microsoft is already improving tool reliability without makers changing their agents.
This thing is going to keep getting better.

Power Pages admins can now block specific authentication methods centrally. Public preview.
Protocols. Individual OAuth providers. Local accounts. With exceptions for selected sites.
NOTE: Blocking a method stops EXISTING users signing in with it.

People use AI every day without knowing what a context window actually is.
It’s the model’s limited working space for a response.
Long chats can get summarized or trimmed. Earlier details can be lost.
Suddenly, “I already told you that” makes more sense.
Simple breakdown below.
Just remove the word vibe
I’ve almost stopped using the term “vibe coding” because there’s a negative connotation to it
It implies that you didn’t put a lot of effort or soul into the output and it’s just AI slop
But oftentimes people ARE putting their heart and soul into the work even when using AI coding tools. The 2 are not contradictory
We need a better word for describing this

GitHub Copilot can click around your desktop now.
It can read the screen, fill in fields, and jump between apps. Even that old app with no API.
You can see what it did and where it asked for permission.
Public preview on Windows and Mac.
