Thanks a lot for this video tutorial! I do have 2 questions: A) I would like to only provide certain time slots for an interview and then let the candidates choose and book. How do I set this up? B) If Isent a link to a booking page to a candidate and another candidate has already booked him/herself an appt on this booking page, will the 2nd candidate see the name & e-mail address of this person and the booking details? I am just wondering how it works if the booking page is shared with several candidates. Thanks for your support.

Microsoft has produced a confusing landscape of tools that change very quickly, hence why I have little faith in the products they are demonstrating that will appear 'next year' on whether they will ever arrive at all. I think the challenge Microsoft is experiencing is that they are trying to pivot from established Apps in M365 to new Apps with AI at their core. This is easier for competitors such as Notion.so to achieve because a 'page' can hold text, a presentation and a spreadsheet and AI can act on all of it in harmony and these competitors are making easier and easier to migrate. We can see that Microsoft would like to emulate this functionality hence why Pages and Loop exist. Ironically I think what Open AI is doing could undermine the whole apple cart. Because Open AI are adding the facility to connect with Apps on the desktop, Coding to begin with has opened up a whole new ability. So why is this important? Same reason why Start-ups are beginning to avoid building tools on top of Open AI's platform, because they can easy copy the tool and effectively put the Start-up out of business. So where is the smart money? For me, keeping my ChatGPT subscription sounds like a better investment that buying Copilot for now.

Ugh. I commented on their announcement video about this. Whats the point of using teams if it is just going to turn into a worse version of Slack.

Hi and thank you for this. Can I allow Bookings to book when I have other meetings as well? Maybe from a certain sender. I work in education and get invited to all classes but I dont attend them (I am the owner of the team)

I have the Microsoft 365 family subscription but cannot access any premium features even when signed in withi my Microsoft registered email address it keeps wanting me to take out a subscription, it is so frustrating, its the first time ive had this problem with my Microsoft subscription products

Hi Nick and Thurman MS continues on its path to irrelevance No matter the subject, teams, copilot studio or copilot in MS 365 every thing is becoming as Pooh Bear would say a confused noise There are now four different routes to copilot studio: teams biz chat with SharePoint links, biz chat with individual file links, copilot studio with file links or SharePoint links all that work differently It’s a complete mess as is new teams experience as you have pointed out As I have said before when they finally settle on a working solution I might reconsider use but at the moment it’s a mess

Please explain more practical, not like a presentation

Many thanks, Nick. I found her final thoughts on practicality exciting. Andreas

Good video

is there any way to import our existing agents from the copilot studio and add to 365 copilot?

Thanks Nick. Very nicely put together. I found the references useful as well. Do you know if there is a declarative way to write to files as well as a declarative way of grounding the data? My scenario is that once I have the output of the prompt from the custom agent, I want to write it to a new file in ODSP or SP. I suspect I am going to have to do this via graph, but I am struggling to find a single example of this anywhere.

Fantastic walkthrough Nick and relatable examples. It helped me get up to speed with SharePoint Copilot Agents.

Good info. The Microsoft report regarding employees who already use & "Shadow AI" issues was especially interesting.

I made custom copilots and was able to share with my team who don't have copilot licences. I made an agent and they were unable to use it because they don't have licences. What's the point of a sharepoint wide agent if those without copilot licences can't use it? Should be anyone who has the link and permissions like with a custom copilot. Any idea how this will be managed in the future?

Will the Sharepoint agents be available for both Teams sites and Communication sites, or just Teams sites? At my company we use Communication sites and I don’t see Sharepoint agents/copilots button. Thanks!

Thank you for the video! it has helped my recent project! one question - when I'm trying to add send email or ms teams chat bot step - the flow does not trigger at all. when i remove the step the formdata receives the text no problem... any ideas on why this is happening?

Thanks for sharing, in my case I was updating the lookup field, took me over 24 hrs with ChatGPT and Gemini with no luck, the "@odata.editLink" also resolved my issue. Must say, lookups are tricky to work with, Thank you.

I mean.. this is really great. This is living up to "adding value to followers". Instead of just showing us around in an app you actually add value by showing us smartness that makes the app useful in real life cases. Thank you! This is my first visit and I'm happy to subscribe, like and follow!

Thanks. Very useful analysis. I am a CIO and both frustrated and excited about these developments. Your no-fluff approach is good to hear.

Not a big Loop fan. OneNote is the only Microsoft app that I truly like!

Excellent, thanks!

Microsoft seem they whant us tu use AI but not the Microsoft AI, openAI or Grok ? but not copilot. Business Copilot does not work with the apps in any Windows 11 PC ?? 😥😥😑😑

looking for some help to build an automation for teams webinars - something you could help with?

How much does my businesses own

It's an effing mess, why don't they stop users wasting their time until they have a stable set of tools, I watched anotther video today by a senior microsoft developer that talked about a completely different approach to agents in copilot studio utilising so called 'dynamic chaining' activated through a new function, yet to be released called a "planner" no explanation as to what that is or where you find it! And obviously its not the existing planner app. It looks a good addition to copilot but how does this fit in with declarative and custom agents, has it been tested and does it work. My sense is MS needs to stop iterative updates and build a proper tool and then release it not this half assed process that changes every 5 mins.

Any idea on why it lets you book for an employee that is not available at that time? Also not sending out text reminders

Did they kill this app? I can’t find it

How can I see the emailadress of the person how booked? I can not see it, and in case client does not show up, I can not follow up.Or did I miss anything?

Some things changed since the recording of this video: the meeting options of copilot changed (e.g. transcript + copilot). Also the requirement of transcription and recording in order to use copilot does not exist any more. Copilot was automatically available and processing the content once I started copilot. Seems like a dedicated "copilot recording layer" was implemented independent from the recording and transcription features without copilot. At least those are my experiences in our environment, maybe that is different in other environments.

Incisive as always. Thank you!

21:00 really good points about "our" reasoning and A.I's reasoning. I agree the internet was crucial for A.I. and pockets of people doing stuff. And for having never seen a human body before, I'll be damned if it's not an expert bootyologist ;). Really good talk, ty.

A lot of people complaining about getting ads with copilot and not complaining about paying for a service like chatgpt and having a message limit. Really funny.

So what’s the difference between automations and autonomous agents?

All admin jobs gone in two years

Nick you are one of the few of the only creator that mentions these questions regarding licensing and access. I’m in the same boat as what features will be available for what license and subscription plan. I have been reviewing the Microsoft learn and blog pages and it seems Microsoft is very clumsy with their rollout of these releases. It took some learning curve to understand “declarative agents” vs these new autonomous agents? Please assist in your videos with your insights since it’s one of the few resources that clarifies Copilots releases!

Watching Mark Benioff trash talk CoPilot the last few week because Salesforce will have agents has had me laughing. The MS rebranding not only reinforces what was already knew, the license already existed with Power Platform. On top of that, the universe MS lives in is far larger than Salesforce. Every employee can get an agent anywhere they work not just CRM. The biggest gaps, in my opinion, aren't technical. They are usually a lack of process or definition of the problems we are trying to solve.

Thank you Nick, great video as always

Don't listen to those other comments. Your video was perfect and easy to follow!

Everything to do with copilot studio is sleight of hand - power automate has been a dog of a product beyond simple completions, and trying to get people to use it under the guise of an AI agent is a bit rich, there are lots of workflows that it's good for, such as forwarding emails received in GMail to an outlook account and if that outlook email has an attachment(s) saving the attachment to a specific folder in one drive or sharepoint, I think products like Replit have much more promise if used in conjuction with triggers. I noticed that if you now log on to copilot studio the previous promised copilot addition "Copilot for Finance" has disappeared

Copilot runs slow with time like if im developing a project if the chat goes too long it slows and as compared to canvas its fast and more reliable than copilot as it understands the logic of the code i am working

The new Copilot does suck badly!!! Mine just updated to an annoying AI that thinks its funny and I can't change its annoying personality. I was working in chat for several minutes and when I maximized the window the chat re-directed to yesterdays chat. When I shared the issue with Copilot it began to answer in a sarcastic way and I asked it to respond directly but it kept trying to be human despite me telling it that I do not like how its responding. When I asked what could have possibly happened to my previous chat and it said once its over its gone forever, but I back in the chat from yesterday. This video is outdated and I think its obsolete now. I hope this update does not effect the paid version in Office 365.

I find it very confusing that we need two solutions, both containing the custom connector, to be able to import it in some managed environment. Seems counterintuitive. I would much rather have the one solution with the custom connectors and the other with just the app and references.

Microsoft gluck gluck is crazy

ROBUST 365? Ha

Thank you for calling out the new service ....for what it really is .

I began using Loop in OneNote because I like the structure elements involved, but after doing a number of tests, I began to see its shortcomings. I didn't even think about the search feature until I saw your video. Even today, the search doesn't work within OneNote for a Loop component, at least on the desktop version. That alone eliminates it as a functional component for me. Thanks for the heads-up!

I find it very underwhelming. This is just a shortcut 'send to loop'. It will be usefull, as sometimes I want to continue editing information in Loop. But it's hardly a time saver. There wasn't really a problem with just copying information into a Loop page as i did before. I think it is troublesome that Microsoft has now 'adressed' collaboration with AI in this manner. And we still are not able to collaborate on interacting with AI. Al hopes are now on the Copilot teammember 😇😇

Prompt Buddy? Sounds awesome.

Hello, Thank you for the informative video. Just getting started with Shifts and I am needing to offer "open" shifts, but hoping there is a function that allows an employee to pick up a part or partial portion of the open shift. Is this possible?

Copilot pages seems to be an upcoming replacement for many of the things onenote can do. It's essentially loop in one note with its workspaces, pages and sublinks. While I wish it had the editibility of chatgpt canvas, it's a good foundation, but I agree that many of Microsoft's new tech rollouts seem to be half assed, and often overlap with and cannibalise their already existing apps.
