Microsoft 365 Copilot Search Now Available
Microsoft 365 Copilot Search is the second iteration of Copilot Search. It borrows heavily from the older Microsoft Search in Bing feature in terms of how it presents different types of results. Copilot Search is unmatched when it comes to searching Exchange, SharePoint, and Teams, but its ability to search the web is hindered by the dependency on Bing and the preference given to Microsoft.com sources. https://office365itpros.com/2025/07/14/copilot-search-mark2/Copilot Audio Overviews for OneDrive Documents
Microsoft 365 Copilot users can generate audio overviews from Word and PDF files and Teams meeting recordings stored in OneDrive for Business. Copilot creates a transcript from the file and uses the Azure Audio Stack to generate an audio stream (that can be saved to an MP3 file). Sounds good, and the feature works well. At least, until it meets the DLP policy for Microsoft 365 Copilot. https://office365itpros.com/2025/07/07/audio-overview-copilot/
Co-pilot is resurrected Clippy on steroids. Give us ACTUAL options to remove it
I am sick and tired of spending now literal hours of my life finding the newest, most super-secret hidden ways of disabling MS's newest way to chase the dragon of monetizing some new faddish tool. Every single new iteration of their desktop products further hides the malware that is copilot. I don't WANT that intrusive pile of donkey-excrement any more than I did that equally obnoxious Frankenstein's monster's stepfather Clippy back in the Y2K era. MAKE IT SIMPLE. NO ONE WANTS THIS POS.Portal change
Why one earth is https://m365.cloud.microsoft/ and https://portal.office.com now redirecting directly to Copilot? What a stupid change. No one wants this. Users want quick access to their files and apps, which the old office portal would facilitate nicely. Stop forcing copilot on your customers.Microsoft Launches New Way to Consume Documentation
The MCP server for Microsoft Learn is available in public preview. It can be installed to allow AI agent real-time access to Microsoft documentation. The problem with any AI technology is that it depends on the accuracy of its sources. And sometimes the accuracy of Microsoft Learn is not as good as people assume, which then means that the AI responses aren’t so good. https://office365itpros.com/2025/07/02/mcp-server-for-microsoft-learn/Copilot Agent Governance Product Launched by ISV
Agent governance is the framework that allows tenants to deploy agents safely, securely, and under control. A new ISV offering from Rencore helps to fill some gaps in Copilot agent governance that currently exist in what’s available in Microsoft 365. It’s good to see ISV action in this space because the last thing that anyone wants is the prospect of Copilot agents running amok inside Microsoft 365 tenants. https://office365itpros.com/2025/06/27/agent-governance-rencore/Supercharging Solution Architecture with GitHub Copilot Prompts Every Architect Should Know
As a Solution Architect, you’re often juggling high-level system design, reviewing code, drafting technical documentation, and ensuring that your solutions meet both business and technical requirements. GitHub Copilot, powered by advanced AI, isn’t just for developers—it can be a powerful assistant for Solution Architects too. In this blog, we’ll explore how you can craft GitHub Copilot prompts to accelerate your architectural workflow, design decisions, and documentation. https://dellenny.com/supercharging-solution-architecture-with-github-copilot-prompts-every-architect-should-know/Outlook’s New Summarize Option for Email Attachments
Among the blizzard of Copilot changes is one where Outlook can summarize attachments. That sounds small, but the feature is pretty useful if you receive lots of messages with “classic” (file) attachments. Being able to see a quick summary of long documents is a real time saver, and it’s an example of a small change that helps users exploit AI. Naturally, it doesn’t work with Outlook classic. https://office365itpros.com/2025/06/23/summarize-attachment-outlook/People Skills Rolling Out Within Microsoft 365
People Skills is a new Microsoft 365 solution that uses AI to determine what skills are possessed by users based on their profile and activities. The skills recorded for users turn up on the Microsoft 365 profile card, just like the older SharePoint/Delve implementation. Is this an example of more AI being used “just because we can” or a useful solution? It’s up to you to decide. https://office365itpros.com/2025/06/17/people-skills-overview/
