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…

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…

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…

🚀 1. Microsoft Copilot Isn’t Just GPT-Powered Anymore Until recently, Microsoft 365 Copilot and Copilot Studio leaned heavily on OpenAI’s GPT models (including the latest versions like GPT-5). Now, Anthropic’s Claude models (such as Claude Sonnet 4 / 4.5 and Claude Opus 4.1) have been added as optional model choices in key Copilot experiences. This…

“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…

Vibe coding is basically building software by describing what you want in natural language and letting the system turn that into code. Instead of wrestling with syntax, you guide the outcome through prompts, testing, and quick iterations. It feels more like brainstorming than traditional coding, which is why it is becoming such a big talking…

My team recently came across a new feature in Microsoft’s AI prompt management interface called Test Hub (Preview), and it looks like a game-changer for anyone working with reusable prompts. Traditionally, testing AI prompts has been a bit of a trial-and-error process. You’d tweak a prompt, run it, check the response, and repeat until it…

Microsoft has just released a preview of Request for Information (RFI) in Copilot Studio agent flows, and I think this is one of the most important updates yet for organizations building AI-powered automations. Why? Because automation is powerful, but judgment still matters. In industries like insurance, finance, healthcare, or legal, there are moments where AI…

Coming out of Microsoft Build, is the new ‘Dataverse MCP Server’, released just a couple of days ago in mid-May 2025, which is really exciting! https://github.com/microsoft/Dataverse-MCP/blob/main/README.md 🧠 What Is MCP and Why Should You Care About It? If you haven’t ever heard of MCP (Model Context Protocol) or Dataverse MCP Server and wondering what they…

The Microsoft Power Platform Architecture Center has been a trusted hub for solution design guidance for a while now. What’s new — and a major step forward — is that it now includes Copilot Studio solutions alongside traditional Power Platform architectures. This expansion brings even more resources to help teams design solutions that aren’t just…
