A significant shift has just landed for Power Apps Canvas development and it’s not just another feature update. Microsoft has introduced the Canvas Apps Authoring MCP plugin, enabling coding agents like GitHub Copilot and Claude to actively participate in building canvas apps alongside makers and developers. At face value, this sounds like “AI helps you…

One of the biggest mistakes I see is organisations starting with: “We need an AI strategy.” Well sure… But more than that… you need a business strategy that includes AI. AI is not the goal. It’s a lever. If you don’t anchor it to tangible outcomes, you’ll end up with: The shift that works: Start…

If you are planning, operating, or governing Copilots, the single most important business concept to understand is Copilot Credits. They turn every kind of agent “work” into a common unit you can forecast and control. Since September 1, 2025, credits replaced “messages” as the billing currency, which makes it much easier to compare scenarios, set…

As enterprises move from simple copilots to networks of autonomous agents operating across applications, clouds, and business functions, governance, interoperability, and security become critical concerns. The Agent2Agent (A2A) Protocol has emerged as the industry’s first open, vendor‑neutral standard designed specifically to address these challenges. Creating a common language that allows AI agents to collaborate securely…

As organisations begin deploying autonomous AI agents into real operational roles, one question matters more than almost any other: What happens when something goes wrong? Not just bugs or bad prompts, but outages, regional failures, or service disruptions. This is where BCDR (Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery) becomes critical, especially in the context of Azure…

AI assistants are useful. Autonomous agents are a step change. If Copilot is the colleague you ask for help, autonomous Copilot agents are the colleagues who just get on with the work. Not in a sci-fi way. In a very practical, enterprise-ready way. This article is about: First: What Is an Autonomous Copilot Agent? Autonomous…

There’s a common view in tech: once you build an AI model or an agent, the hard part is done. But any technology leader knows the real challenge begins after deployment, especially with Generative AI, where outputs aren’t predictable facts but fluid language and reasoning. That’s why observability (the ability to see, understand, evaluate, and…

Did you know the Australian Government has formal guidance on using public generative AI tools? Last year (2025), the Australian Government released practical guidance on how agencies should use public generative AI tools, and it’s worth paying attention to, even if you’re not in government. In practice, this guidance is now widely referenced, particularly in…

“Powered by neural networks.” You see this phrase everywhere, in AI tools, vendor decks, and LinkedIn posts. But if you’re a business owner or a developing consultant, it often raises a fair question: What does that actually mean, and why should I care? Let’s demystify it. What is a neural network (in plain English)? A…
