Learn Expert program ending in June
Hi everyone, I wanted to share an important update with you directly. As some of you may have already heard, the Learn Expert program is being retired, and all Learning Rooms — including ours — will close at the end of June. This wasn’t a decision any of us expected, and I know it affects many of you who have been learning, sharing, and growing together here. Our room, Modern Development with Azure Integration and AI, has become a small but meaningful space for practical learning, real conversations, and hands‑on guidance. I would love to keep this community alive if possible. There is a path to continue: Learning Rooms can be transferred into an existing Microsoft Tech Community group — but only if a community owner approves the move. If any of you are connected with a Tech Community owner or moderator who might be open to hosting our room, please let me know. Even a simple introduction could help us keep this space going. If a transfer isn’t possible, the room will officially close at the end of June. Until then, I’ll keep sharing updates and next steps so you know where to find me and how to stay connected. Thank you for being part of this journey — your curiosity, questions, and contributions have made this room worth every moment. KonstantinosFrom Goal to Continuous Improvement: A Practical Copilot Studio Agent Lifecycle
Hi everyone, I recently created a short walkthrough and interactive workflow to help visualize the lifecycle of building an agent in Copilot Studio. The framework focuses on the following stages: Goal Create Authentication Topics Conversations Knowledge Actions Evaluate (Test) Publish Evaluate (Analytics) Improve One observation from working with Copilot Studio is that many discussions focus heavily on building and publishing agents, while the evaluation and continuous improvement phases often receive less attention. The workflow emphasizes that agent development is an iterative process: Define the business goal. Design the conversation experience. Connect knowledge and actions. Validate through testing. Publish to users. Analyze real-world usage. Continuously improve based on insights. I created a short video demonstrating this workflow and would appreciate feedback from the community.

🔹 What is MCP? Think of MCP as a secure bridge between AI agents and Business Central. It enables AI to retrieve, add, and update live business data using natural language prompts. 🔹 What you'll learn in this tutorial: ✅ Understanding MCP and its role in AI-powered business applications ✅ Configuring the MCP Server in Business Central ✅ Defining and exposing Business Central objects for AI access ✅ Building a custom AI agent in Copilot Studio ✅ Connecting the agent to Business Central through MCP ✅ Testing the integration with real-world scenarios, such as retrieving live customer information One of the most exciting aspects of MCP is how it simplifies the connection between AI and enterprise systems, opening new possibilities for automation, productivity, and intelligent business processes. Whether you're a Business Central Consultant, Developer, Functional Consultant, or simply interested in the future of AI-powered ERP solutions, this tutorial is an excellent starting point. 🎥 Watch the tutorial here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXDa68oFTw8 What Business Central use cases would you like to see powered by AI agents? #BusinessCentral #Dynamics365 #MCP #ModelContextProtocol #CopilotStudio #MicrosoftCopilot #AIAgents #GenerativeAI #ArtificialIntelligence #PowerPlatform #Dynamics365BusinessCentral #ERP #DigitalTransformationA Helpful AI-Powered Learning Experience I Found While Preparing for PL-400 within Microsoft Learn
While preparing for the PL-400 (Microsoft Power Platform Developer) exam, I discovered a very useful learning feature in some Microsoft Learn modules. In a few modules, the Module Assessment appears to include AI-generated questions. What I found particularly helpful is that when I answered a question incorrectly and retook the assessment, Microsoft Learn didn't just generate completely new questions. Instead, it often brought back the concepts I had previously answered incorrectly while also introducing new questions. This approach helped me reinforce weak areas and better understand the module content rather than simply memorizing answers. It felt more like adaptive learning, where the assessment focuses on concepts that need more attention. Also, if you find this AI-generated learning experience helpful, consider using the "Provide feedback about AI-generated content" option available in Microsoft Learn. Sharing feedback can help Microsoft continue improving these learning experiences for certification candidates. Has anyone else noticed this behavior in Microsoft Learn assessments? I'd be interested to hear whether you've had a similar experience while preparing for Microsoft certifications.Mastering the Kubernetes Gateway API is tomorrow!
For years, Kubernetes Ingress has been the default, yet it often forces teams into a fragile web of vendor-specific "annotation hell" to handle modern traffic requirements. The Gateway API moves beyond these limitations, offering an expressive, role-oriented standard that fundamentally rethinks the networking stack.

AI-102 Delivery Completed — Preparing for AI-103: How Is Microsoft AI Training Evolving?
Completed another AI-102 training delivery — and already diving into the roadmap toward AI-103. Recent discussions with learners covered several important areas: - Azure AI Services - Azure OpenAI - RAG patterns & enterprise architectures - Responsible AI - Real-world implementation considerations One thing is becoming increasingly clear: AI capabilities are evolving rapidly, and technical learning paths must evolve just as quickly. For trainers, architects, developers, and organizations, maintaining technical depth while adapting to continuous platform evolution is becoming both a challenge and an opportunity. I'm curious to hear perspectives from the community: What differences or shifts do you expect between AI-102 and AI-103? Which Microsoft AI topics are currently proving most relevant — or most challenging — in your projects?

Build an AI Agent That Does It For You.
Hi everyone 👋 A few weeks ago, I started thinking about how much time businesses still spend writing repetitive promotional emails manually every month. The process is usually the same: review customer purchase history check active discounts write personalized emails send them one by one So I decided to build a simple AI-powered workflow that could automate the entire process. For Edition #003 of my newsletter, I created an AI agent that: ✅ reads customer purchase data ✅ matches category-based discounts ✅ generates personalized promotional emails using AI ✅ sends emails automatically What I enjoyed most while building this project was seeing how even small personalization details can completely change the customer experience. Instead of sending generic promotions, the workflow creates emails tailored to each customer’s purchases and interests. In this edition, I shared: the real-world use case the complete workflow approach implementation screenshots sample datasets GitHub project files practical automation tips 📌 View the newsletter If you enjoy building practical AI automations or exploring real-world AI agent ideas, I think you’ll enjoy this edition. I’d genuinely love to hear your thoughts and learn how others are approaching AI-driven automation in their own projects 🙌Microsoft Clarity on my Shopify store facing issue to setup

Hi everyone, I see many of us experimenting with AI agents in Copilot Studio and other platforms. Spinning up an agent is now the easy part but making sure it actually helps users is much harder. In a short blog, I shared why listening to users should be part of your AI design, not an afterthought. I talk about: Using thumbs up/down, comments, and simple surveys Turning feedback into a backlog of improvements Why this feedback loop is essential for making AI agents truly useful If you’re building or maintaining AI agents, I’d love your thoughts and experiences. 🔗 Read the blog: Why Collecting User Feedback on Your AI Agent Actually Matters https://medium.com/@sajeda27/why-collecting-user-feedback-on-your-ai-agent-actually-matters-54deea4fee7bDesign and implement production-ready, multi-agent AI solutions Blueprint Survey Opportunity
