M&A Due Diligence in Minute Copilot Chat’s Power to Cross-Reference Disparate Data Silo
In high-stakes M&A, every minute counts—and every missed clause or mismatched figure can have million-dollar consequences. Traditionally, due diligence means long nights of toggling between contracts, spreadsheets, and correspondence scattered across OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams. Now, with Copilot Chat, that manual grind becomes a seamless, insight-driven conversation. https://dellenny.com/ma-due-diligence-in-minute-copilot-chats-power-to-cross-reference-disparate-data-silo/The Art of Delegating to AI A New Prompting Mindset for Knowledge Workers
AI isn’t just another tool on your desktop — it’s a new kind of colleague. One that never sleeps, learns from context, and can execute complex workflows with astonishing precision — if you know how to delegate properly. Yet most knowledge workers still talk to AI the way they talk to search engines: with short, shallow commands like “summarize this” or “write an email.” That’s not delegation — that’s task automation. To unlock AI’s real value, we need a behavioral shift — a new way of thinking about how we communicate our goals, constraints, and expectations. Microsoft calls this prompt engineering. But in practice, it’s closer to something more familiar: management. https://dellenny.com/the-art-of-delegating-to-ai-a-new-prompting-mindset-for-knowledge-workers/Measuring the Un-Done Work Calculating the ROI of Microsoft 365 Copilot
When we talk about productivity gains, we often focus on what gets done. More meetings completed, more reports generated, more lines of code written. But with AI tools like Microsoft 365 Copilot, the real story isn’t only about doing more — it’s about doing less of what doesn’t matter. In other words, the ROI of Copilot comes not just from the tasks completed faster, but from the tasks that never had to be done at all. https://dellenny.com/measuring-the-un-done-work-calculating-the-roi-of-microsoft-365-copilot/Copilot Connector with Windows, Google Drive
Copilot in Windows now allow connections with Google Drive, Google Calendar and Google Contacts. It also allows connection with personal accounts of Outlook and OneDrive. You can now get insights and prompt Copilot based on these connections. You can test it out and give feedback to Microsoft to further improve Copilot's connection with third-party applications.

When organizations adopt generative AI, the first question that arises isn’t “What can it do?” but rather “What can it see?” In the age of large language models, protecting corporate data is paramount. Microsoft Copilot’s integration with Microsoft Purview and Microsoft Graph forms an invisible shield around your data — ensuring that every response respects your organization’s existing security and compliance boundaries. This isn’t just about powerful features. It’s about responsible access — and making sure that AI never sees what users shouldn’t. https://dellenny.com/copilots-invisible-shield-leveraging-purview-graph-to-control-generative-ai-risk/Prompt Injection Protection How Microsoft 365 Copilot Defends Against Jailbreak Attacks
As AI assistants become deeply embedded in productivity tools like Microsoft 365, new forms of security risks have emerged — and among the most insidious is prompt injection. These attacks aim to manipulate a large language model (LLM) into ignoring its safety rules or corporate boundaries, often referred to as “jailbreaks.” While most blog posts about Copilot focus on features and productivity gains, it’s time for a deep dive into the security architecture that keeps Microsoft 365 Copilot safe, compliant, and resilient against these evolving threats. https://dellenny.com/prompt-injection-protection-how-microsoft-365-copilot-defends-against-jailbreak-attacks/Beyond Compliance Using Copilot to Automate GDPR and HIPAA Reporting from Teams and Outlook
In today’s data-driven workplace, legal and compliance teams face a constant balancing act: staying ahead of complex regulations like GDPR and HIPAA while managing the sheer volume of communication data flowing through Microsoft Teams and Outlook. Every chat message, email thread, and shared document can contain personal or protected information—making manual reporting and redaction nearly impossible to sustain. Enter Copilot for Microsoft 365. Beyond its productivity benefits, Copilot is rapidly becoming a powerful ally for compliance automation—helping organizations move beyond compliance checkboxes and toward proactive, data-aware governance. https://dellenny.com/beyond-compliance-using-copilot-to-automate-gdpr-and-hipaa-reporting-from-teams-and-outlook/How To Generate a Process Flow using M365 Copilot
Generating a process flow using Microsoft 365 Copilot involves leveraging AI-powered tools within Microsoft 365 apps like Word, PowerPoint, Visio, and OneNote. Here’s how you can do it step by step in this https://dellenny.com/how-to-generate-a-process-flow-using-m365-copilot/
Your interactive guide to setting up the web client via Direct Connect
Project Overview> I developed a way to use copilot studio agent using direct connect. This guide outlines how to configure a Microsoft Copilot Studio agent for secure web integration using Direct Connect, Azure Bot Services, and Power Platform. The web client uses a secure Express.js backend to handle credential exchange, ensuring the **Client Secret** is never exposed on the frontend. If anyone is interested, I can provide the source code. Prerequisites You must have administrative access to the following resources to complete the setup. 💻 Local Development Node.js (v12+) and Git installed. 🤖 Copilot Studio Agent Agent created and imported to the Production Environment. 🛡️ Azure Access Access to Azure Subscription 1 and Microsoft Entra ID for App Registration.
