Copilot, Excel and photos
We have a number of networking devices, all the same type, that we are deploying within an office. To speed up asset management, engineers are putting a label on the back under the MAC and serial numbers then taking a photo so it can be documented later by admin staff. Through Excel I've tried with a single photo and multiple photos to extract the MAC details successfully and put them in to cells at the same time. However, this doesn't tell us which device it is as it doesn't process the photos in any order. Therefore my next step is to be able to capture the label info we have put on and tie this info together with the serial number each time so its all from the same equipment. Is it possible to do this either one photo at a time or across multiple photos? TIACopilot Makes Branding Easy! New PowerPoint Brand Images Feature
🚀 New PowerPoint Feature: Brand Images + Copilot Enhances Brand Consistency! Microsoft has just released a powerful new capability in PowerPoint: Brand Images, allowing users to insert company‑approved logos, icons, and photos directly from within the app. No more searching through folders, Teams chats, or old emails to find the “right” logo.

February News Roundup for Technical and Business Leaders (2026) February 2026 was a significant month for enterprise AI across Microsoft 365, Microsoft Copilot, and Microsoft Copilot Studio. From large-scale enterprise deployments to governance updates and expanded model flexibility, Microsoft continues transitioning from AI experimentation to enterprise AI at scale. Here’s your strategic and technical breakdown of what mattered most this month. https://dellenny.com/microsoft-365-copilot-copilot-studio-news/Optimising AI Costs with Microsoft Foundry Model Router
Microsoft Foundry Model Router analyses each prompt in real-time and forwards it to the most appropriate LLM from a pool of underlying models. Simple requests go to fast, cheap models; complex requests go to premium ones, all automatically. I built an interactive demo app so you can see the routing decisions, measure latencies, and compare costs yourself. This post walks through how it works, what we measured, and when it makes sense to use. The Problem: One Model for Everything Is Wasteful Traditional deployments force a single choice: Strategy Upside Downside Use a small model Fast, cheap Struggles with complex tasks Use a large model Handles everything Overpay for simple tasks Build your own router Full control Maintenance burden; hard to optimise Most production workloads are mixed-complexity. Classification, FAQ look-ups, and data extraction sit alongside code analysis, multi-constraint planning, and long-document summarisation. Paying premium-model prices for the simple 40% is money left on the table. The Solution: Model Router Model Router is a trained language model deployed as a single Azure endpoint. For each incoming request it: Analyses the prompt — complexity, task type, context length Selects an underlying model from the routing pool Forwards the request and returns the response Exposes the choice via the response.model field You interact with one deployment. No if/else routing logic in your code. Routing Modes Mode Goal Trade-off Balanced (default) Best cost-quality ratio General-purpose Cost Minimise spend May use smaller models more aggressively Quality Maximise accuracy Higher cost for complex tasks Modes are configured in the Foundry Portal, no code change needed to switch. Building the Demo To make routing decisions tangible, we built a React + TypeScript app that sends the same prompt through both Model Router and a fixed standard deployment (e.g. GPT-5-nano), then compares: Which model the router selected Latency (ms) Token usage (prompt + completion) Estimated cost (based on per-model pricing) Select a prompt, choose a routing mode, and hit Run Both to compare side-by-side What You Can Do 10 pre-built prompts spanning simple classification to complex multi-constraint planning Custom prompt input enter any text and benchmarks run automatically Three routing modes switch and re-run to see how distribution changes Batch mode run all 10 prompts in one click to gather aggregate stats API Integration The integration is a standard Azure OpenAI chat completion call. The only difference is the deployment name ( model-router instead of a specific model): const response = await fetch( `${endpoint}/openai/deployments/model-router/chat/completions?api-version=2024-10-21`, { method: 'POST', headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'api-key': apiKey, }, body: JSON.stringify({ messages: [{ role: 'user', content: prompt }], max_completion_tokens: 1024, }), } ); const data = await response.json(); // The key insight: response.model reveals the underlying model const selectedModel = data.model; // e.g. "gpt-5-nano-2025-08-07" That data.model field is what makes cost tracking and distribution analysis possible. Results: What the Data Shows We ran all 10 prompts through both Model Router (Balanced mode) and a fixed standard deployment. Note: Results vary by run, region, model versions, and Azure load. These numbers are from a representative sample run. Side-by-side comparison across all 10 prompts in Balanced mode Summary Metric Router (Balanced) Standard (GPT-5-nano) Avg Latency ~7,800 ms ~7,700 ms Total Cost (10 prompts) ~$0.029 ~$0.030 Cost Savings ~4.5% — Models Used 4 1 Model Distribution The router used 4 different models across 10 prompts: Model Requests Share Typical Use gpt-5-nano 5 50% Classification, summarisation, planning gpt-5-mini 2 20% FAQ answers, data extraction gpt-oss-120b 2 20% Long-context analysis, creative tasks gpt-4.1-mini 1 10% Complex debugging & reasoning Routing distribution chart — the router favours efficient models for simple prompts Across All Three Modes Metric Balanced Cost-Optimised Quality-Optimised Cost Savings ~4.5% ~4.7% ~14.2% Avg Latency (Router) ~7,800 ms ~7,800 ms ~6,800 ms Avg Latency (Standard) ~7,700 ms ~7,300 ms ~8,300 ms Primary Goal Balance cost + quality Minimise spend Maximise accuracy Model Selection Mixed (4 models) Prefers cheaper Prefers premium Cost-optimised mode — routes more aggressively to nano/mini models Quality-optimised mode — routes to larger models for complex tasks Analysis What Worked Well Intelligent distribution The router didn't just default to one model. It used 4 different models and mapped prompt complexity to model capability: simple classification → nano, FAQ answers → mini, long-context documents → oss-120b, complex debugging → 4.1-mini. Measurable cost savings across all modes 4.5% in Balanced, 4.7% in Cost, and 14.2% in Quality mode. Quality mode was the surprise winner by choosing faster, cheaper models for simple prompts, it actually saved the most while still routing complex requests to capable models. Zero routing logic in application code One endpoint, one deployment name. The complexity lives in Azure's infrastructure, not yours. Operational flexibility Switch between Balanced, Cost, and Quality modes in the Foundry Portal without redeploying your app. Need to cut costs for a high-traffic period? Switch to Cost mode. Need accuracy for a compliance run? Switch to Quality. Future-proofing As Azure adds new models to the routing pool, your deployment benefits automatically. No code changes needed. Trade-offs to Consider Latency is comparable, not always faster In Balanced mode, Router averaged ~7,800 ms vs Standard's ~7,700 ms nearly identical. In Quality mode, the Router was actually faster (~6,800 ms vs ~8,300 ms) because it chose more efficient models for simple prompts. The delta depends on which models the router selects. Savings scale with workload diversity Our 10-prompt test set showed 4.5–14.2% savings. Production workloads with a wider spread of simple vs complex prompts should see larger savings, since the router has more opportunity to route simple requests to cheaper models. Opaque routing decisions You can see which model was picked via response.model , but you can't see why. For most applications this is fine; for debugging edge cases you may want to test specific prompts in the demo first. Custom Prompt Testing One of the most practical features of the demo is testing your own prompts before committing to Model Router in production. Enter any prompt `the quantum computing example is a medium-complexity educational prompt` Benchmarks execute automatically, showing the selected model, latency, tokens, and cost Workflow: Click ✏️ Custom in the prompt selector Enter your production-representative prompt Click ✓ Use This Prompt — Router and Standard run automatically Compare results — repeat with different routing modes Use the data to inform your deployment strategy This lets you predict costs and validate routing behaviour with your actual workload before going to production. When to Use Model Router Great Fit Mixed-complexity workloads — chatbots, customer service, content pipelines Cost-sensitive deployments — where even single-digit percentage savings matter at scale Teams wanting simplicity — one endpoint beats managing multi-model routing logic Rapid experimentation — try new models without changing application code Consider Carefully Ultra-low-latency requirements — if you need sub-second responses, the routing overhead matters Single-task, single-model workloads — if one model is clearly optimal for 100% of your traffic, a router adds complexity without benefit Full control over model selection — if you need deterministic model choice per request Mode Selection Guide Is accuracy critical (compliance, legal, medical)? Is accuracy critical (compliance, legal, medical)? └─ YES → Quality-Optimised └─ NO → Strict budget constraints? └─ YES → Cost-Optimised └─ NO → Balanced (recommended) Best Practices Start with Balanced mode — measure actual results, then optimise Test with your real prompts — use the Custom Prompt feature to validate routing before production Monitor model distribution — track which models handle your traffic over time Compare against a baseline — always keep a standard deployment to measure savings Review regularly — as new models enter the routing pool, distributions shift Technical Stack Technology Purpose React 19 + TypeScript 5.9 UI and type safety Vite 7 Dev server and build tool Tailwind CSS 4 Styling Recharts 3 Distribution and comparison charts Azure OpenAI API (2024-10-21) Model Router and standard completions Security measures include an ErrorBoundary for crash resilience, sanitised API error messages, AbortController request timeouts, input length validation, and restrictive security headers.

Exploring Azure Face API: Facial Landmark Detection and Real-Time Analysis with C#
In today’s world, applications that understand and respond to human facial cues are no longer science fiction—they’re becoming a reality in domains like security, driver monitoring, gaming, and AR/VR. With Azure Face API, developers can leverage powerful cloud-based facial recognition and analysis tools without building complex machine learning models from scratch. In this blog, we’ll explore how to use C# to detect faces, identify key facial landmarks, estimate head pose, track eye and mouth movements, and process real-time video streams. Using OpenCV for visualization, we’ll show how to overlay landmarks, draw bounding boxes, and calculate metrics like Eye Aspect Ratio (EAR) and Mouth Aspect Ratio (MAR)—all in real time. You'll learn to: Set up Azure Face API Detect 27 facial landmarks Estimate head pose (yaw, pitch, roll) Calculate eye aspect ratio (EAR) and mouth openness Draw bounding boxes around features using OpenCV Process real-time video Prerequisites .NET 8 SDK installed Azure subscription with Face API resource Visual Studio 2022 or later Webcam for testing (optional) Basic understanding of C# and computer vision concepts Part 1: Azure Face API Setup 1.1 Install Required NuGet Packages dotnet add package Azure.AI.Vision.Face dotnet add package OpenCvSharp4 dotnet add package OpenCvSharp4.runtime.win 1.2 Create Azure Face API Resource Navigate to Azure Portal Search for "Face" and create a new Face API resource Choose your pricing tier (Free tier: 20 calls/min, 30K calls/month) Copy the Endpoint URL and API Key 1.3 Configure in .NET Application appsettings.json: { "Azure": { "FaceApi": { "Endpoint": "https://your-resource.cognitiveservices.azure.com/", "ApiKey": "your-api-key-here" } } } Initialize Face Client: using Azure;

Agentic AI is quickly becoming one of the most talked-about innovations in enterprise technology. Unlike traditional automation tools, agentic systems can plan, reason, take initiative, and execute complex multi-step tasks with minimal human intervention. Powered by advances in large language models and autonomous decision frameworks, agentic AI promises to transform how organizations operate. But here’s the hard truth: many organizations rush into adoption without fully understanding what they’re implementing. The result? Wasted budgets, frustrated teams, compliance risks, and AI initiatives that quietly fade away. If your organization is exploring or actively implementing agentic AI, understanding the common pitfalls can save you time, money, and reputation. Below are the most frequent mistakes companies make — and what to do instead. https://dellenny.com/common-mistakes-orgs-make-when-adopting-agentic-ai/Copilot for Planner and To Do Automating Task Management
