It’d be amazing if Copilot could notify users when specific products they care about become available—especially if it could tie in wishlist items and region-based tracking. Imagine being able to tag a graphics card or monitor you’ve had your eye on, and then Copilot lets you know the moment it’s up for order in your area. No more manually checking five different websites every morning. Just one smart alert when the product is available, with all the relevant specs and vendor links. This would save time, cut through the noise, and make Copilot way more proactive. It’s the kind of feature that fits perfectly with how people already use Copilot—so why not take it a step further? If Copilot’s goal is to be truly helpful and intuitive, adding personalized product alerts would be a strong move in the right direction.35Views0likes1CommentImproving Copilot's Causal Reasoning and Command Throughput via Centralized Protocol Layer (EDCA)
Problem Statement Copilot's agentic behavior is confined to pre-defined workflows or embedded tools. Prompt variability leads to semantic drift across sessions. Causal reasoning is weak under user goal ambiguity (e.g., “X + Y + Z triggers unintended output B”). Developer-side cost for scaling model I/O is too high under the current chain-of-thought format. Proposed Architecture: EDCA Central Control Layer (Mediator Core) Acts as routing hub between expression → intention → execution path. Supports fallback chains, multi-path detection, and output anchoring. Protocol-based Expression Parsing User utterances are parsed through a control protocol rather than raw prompts. Enables modular injection of reasoning modules. Agent Proxy Submodules For scalable delegation in C-end scenarios (non-technical users). Acts under a value-aligned behavior sandbox. Results from Experimental Deployment Metric Before (Raw Prompt) After (EDCA Protocol) Throughput (req/min/core) ~120 ~170 Semantic Coherence (avg depth) Moderate Significantly Higher Resource Waste (multi-chain) ~23% conflict ~5% conflict Why This Matters for Copilot Scales beyond pre-defined tools Enhances user trust via stable expression paths Reduces cost via intention compression & fewer back-and-forth calls Enables structured delegation for both B-end and C-end deployment scenarios Call for Feedback This is not a product — this is a thinking protocol. We’d love to hear from Copilot devs, LLM architects, and interaction designers: Where is Copilot heading? How can control layers like EDCA join the ecosystem?

Hi Everyone. Currently trying to make a connection to our PowerBi platform through Copilot Studios. So far i keep getting a connection failure. I have tried to adjust our security settings in Active Directory. I have tried adjusting the permission on the workspace and access to the datasheet. When i use the Json query to extract on the columns in the giving table i just get a connection error. even though the connection seems valid. Any suggestions on how to proceed?85Views1like1CommentAgent not visible in M365 Copilot
I created an agent in M365, including its name, description, instructions, and required actions. The agent is properly tested in Copilot Studio and published, but it is not visible in the M365 Copilot agent list. Interestingly, one agent is visible while the other is not, and I am unable to determine the issue.6.5KViews0likes8CommentsFeature Request: API Access for Copilot to Support Knowledge Management Tools
I'd love to see Microsoft offer a public API endpoint for Copilot, especially one that's compatible with OpenAI-style integrations. This would unlock massive potential for developers and users working in tools like: Obsidian (local-first, markdown-based personal knowledge management) Logseq, Zettlr, and other note-based or PKM systems Custom research environments, digital gardens, and AI-enhanced workflows Currently, many plugins in this ecosystem support third-party models (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini), but Copilot is not accessible—despite the fact that Microsoft has positioned it as a cross-platform assistant with memory, reasoning, and contextual awareness. An API endpoint would allow: Seamless AI interactions within a user's vault or notes Context-sensitive summaries, tagging, and creative workflows Natural-language search across local files using Copilot’s memory and intelligence Voice or chat-based journaling that connects to structured PKM formats Microsoft already supports Copilot integrations in Office apps like Word and OneNote, but many users prefer markdown-based, privacy-respecting environments. Providing API-level access would allow broader use cases while respecting platform independence. Obsidian alone has millions of users and a thriving plugin ecosystem. A Copilot integration—even just one with simple API compatibility—could become a game-changer for anyone building personalized, long-term knowledge workflows. If this isn't the best place to post this please let me know :)57Views0likes1CommentHow to send node.js request with prompt to copilot and get request?
Hi, I need to authorize, get Bearer token and send prompt to copilot, get and show result, that's all How to do it, do we have any official docs? I have found in Dev panel which request makes browser but how to make an app to do it with custom design, is it allowed, do we have node.js apps examples like ChatGPT have? I need just free prompts like ChatGPT, nothing special, not Microsoft 360 etc., just simple get request)229Views0likes1CommentCopilot 365 plugins for Word / PowerPoint
Hi, I've successfully created plugins for use with Copilot 365 in Teams and Outlook. However, they aren't showing up in the list of plugins in Word Copilot (I only see "Web search" there). Is this a current limitation or something planned for a future update? Or is there already a way to use plugins in Word and PowerPoint? I thought it was officially available because I saw it demonstrated in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I44RtBr01Lw&t=366s (minutes 6 to 7). In the video, they mentioned it would be available by early Q3 of 2024, but we’re already in Q4. Do you have any information on this? Thanks!230Views1like1CommentWhat the hack is a "Microsoft 365 Copilot Bizchat"?
I am taking a training course on learn.microsoft and this word "Microsoft 365 Copilot Bizchat" just came out of nowhere... I went few slides/pages of the training course and even googled it but there is no definition or clarification of it either sigh... What is that237Views1like4CommentsIs application/vnd.api+json a supported API response format for a Copilot Declarative Agent?
I have been testing some 3rd party API's we use to see how they work with a declarative copilot agent built with the MS365 Agents Toolkit (formerly the Teams Toolkit). I have one API that the agent fails to return responses from (it successfully calls the API, but the debug console says it failed to return data). As far as I can tell application/vnd.api+json is a standard .JSON format (and everything works fine in Postman) so I am trying to get some clarity on if this is supported or not (or if someone has been able to get this working).98Views0likes1Comment
