Enhance Teaching and Learning with Microsoft Copilot: A New Era for Schools and Universities
Artificial Intelligence is transforming education, helping institutions create more engaging, personalized, and efficient learning experiences. Among the latest innovations, Microsoft Copilot stands out as a powerful AI assistant designed to support educators, students, and administrators in their daily work. https://dellenny.com/enhance-teaching-and-learning-with-microsoft-copilot-a-new-era-for-schools-and-universitiesWhy Most AI Agents Fail in Production And What Successful Teams Do Differently
Artificial intelligence has reached a point where building an AI agent is easier than ever. With modern large language models, frameworks, APIs, and no-code platforms, a developer can create an AI assistant in a matter of hours. It can answer questions, automate workflows, write emails, summarize documents, or even interact with external applications. https://dellenny.com/why-most-ai-agents-fail-in-production-and-what-successful-teams-do-differently/Stop Everyone Prompting Differently! Organizational Prompts in M365 Copilot (Full Walkthrough)
🚀 Microsoft just solved one of the biggest Copilot adoption challenges. Organizational Prompts allow admins to publish approved prompts directly to users across the organization. No more: ❌ Everyone prompting differently Instead: ✅ Standardized AI experiences ✅ Faster user adoption ✅ Company-approved workflows I just published a video explaining how it works. 🎥 Link in the comments 👇 What would be the first Organizational Prompt you'd deploy in your company? #Microsoft365 #Copilot #MicrosoftCopilot #AI #M365 #PromptEngineering #FutureOfWorkPublishing and Sharing Your Agent Across Microsoft Teams: A Complete Step-by-Step Guide
Microsoft Teams has become much more than a communication platform. It is now a central workspace where employees collaborate, manage projects, automate tasks, and interact with AI-powered assistants. With Microsoft Copilot Studio, organizations can build intelligent agents that answer questions, automate repetitive work, and improve productivity across departments. https://dellenny.com/publishing-and-sharing-your-agent-across-microsoft-teams-a-complete-step-by-step-guide/Testing and Debugging Your Microsoft 365 Agent: A Complete Guide for Building Reliable AI Assistants
Artificial intelligence is transforming the way businesses work, and Microsoft 365 Agents are leading this change. These intelligent assistants can automate repetitive tasks, answer employee questions, summarize meetings, retrieve documents, and improve collaboration across Microsoft 365 applications. However, creating an agent is only the first step. The real challenge begins when it’s time to test and debug it. https://dellenny.com/testing-and-debugging-your-microsoft-365-agent-a-complete-guide-for-building-reliable-ai-assistants/Copilot Feedback - Power User Experience Improvements
As a frequent Copilot user for technical discussions, architecture, governance, Microsoft 365, Power Platform, and problem-solving activities, I would like more control over the user experience. Copilot has become a daily productivity tool, but several UI and usability improvements would significantly benefit advanced users. 1. Allow Disabling Suggested Follow-Up Prompts The suggested replies shown below every response may be useful for new users, but for experienced users they often add little value and consume screen space. Please provide an option to: Disable suggested prompts entirely Adjust their frequency or aggressiveness Enable them only for new conversations or learning scenarios 2. Make '/' and '@' Shortcuts Configurable The automatic triggering of slash commands and @ mentions while typing can be disruptive and may interrupt or replace text unexpectedly. Please allow users to: Disable these shortcuts Configure alternative trigger characters Require a keyboard shortcut before activating them 3. Add a Power User Mode Consider introducing a dedicated Power User Mode featuring: No suggested prompts Reduced UI clutter Compact layouts Fewer interruptions while typing Advanced customization options A productivity-focused experience 4. Compact Conversation View Long technical conversations can become difficult to navigate due to excessive spacing and scrolling. Please provide: A compact view option Reduced vertical whitespace More conversation content visible on screen 5. Conversation Search Many conversations contain valuable information that users want to revisit later. Please add the ability to: Search within a conversation Search code snippets and formulas Search by date or topic Quickly jump to matching results 6. Pin Important Messages Allow users to pin key answers, code snippets, formulas, decisions, or reference messages within a conversation so they can be easily found later. 7. Enhanced Copy Experience For technical users working with Power Apps, Power Automate, SQL, PowerShell, and other technologies: One-click copy for all code and formulas Preserve formatting during copy operations Support copying multiple related blocks together 8. User-Defined Response Profiles Allow users to create and switch between response styles such as: Technical Troubleshooting Power User Learning Mode Executive Summary Architecture Review This would reduce the need to repeatedly explain personal preferences. 9. Memory Transparency and Management Allow users to: View all stored memories and preferences Edit or delete individual memory items Temporarily disable specific memories Understand which memories are influencing responses This would improve transparency and trust. Summary Copilot is evolving from a simple chat tool into a professional productivity platform. Providing greater control over the interface, shortcuts, suggestions, memory, and conversation management would allow experienced users to tailor the experience to their workflow while preserving the current experience for those who prefer more guidance. Thank you for considering these improvements.What Is Microsoft 365 Agent Builder? A Beginner’s Guide
Artificial intelligence is changing how people work, communicate, and solve problems. Over the past few years, Microsoft has introduced several AI-powered tools to make everyday business tasks easier and more efficient. One of the newest additions to this growing ecosystem is Microsoft 365 Agent Builder, a feature designed to help users create intelligent AI agents without requiring advanced programming skills. https://dellenny.com/what-is-microsoft-365-agent-builder-a-beginners-guide/Scaling AI Agents with Kubernetes and Distributed Systems
Artificial intelligence has moved far beyond simple chatbots and rule-based automation. Today’s AI agents can reason through complex problems, interact with multiple tools, collaborate with other agents, and perform tasks with minimal human intervention. As organizations deploy AI agents across customer service, software development, research, finance, healthcare, and operations, one challenge becomes impossible to ignore: how do you scale AI agents reliably? https://dellenny.com/scaling-ai-agents-with-kubernetes-and-distributed-systems/
Does Microsoft 365 Copilot Agent Builder support OCR and image analysis for SharePoint?
Hello everyone, I am currently testing a Microsoft 365 Copilot Agent Builder agent that is grounded on SharePoint document libraries. During testing, I observed that the agent can successfully analyze and generate responses from text-based documents such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, CSV, and TXT files. However, when folders contain image-based files (JPG/PNG), the agent sometimes reports incomplete analysis or is unable to extract information from those files. I would appreciate clarification on the following: Does Microsoft 365 Copilot Agent Builder officially support OCR (Optical Character Recognition) for JPG and PNG files stored in SharePoint? Can Agent Builder natively analyze image-based content, or is this capability only available through Copilot Studio with additional AI services? Are there any documented limitations regarding image processing compared to text-based document processing? Has anyone successfully implemented a SharePoint-grounded Agent Builder solution that can reliably analyze scanned images, photographs, or image-based documents? If OCR/image analysis is not currently supported, is there a recommended Microsoft solution or architecture for achieving this requirement?
