Notes from the trenches of real projects. What worked, what didn't, and why — no marketing spin.

Building long-running business processes in Copilot Studio using standard harness, state tables, agent flows, and multi-agent orchestration. Boring but effective and save
Child agents, connected agents, A2A, MCP, and the new skills: which of them exist in which harness, why, and how I decide before a single agent gets built.

What I have learned running Copilot Cowork in real tenants: how to enable it (including the EU data-boundary decision), what the skills actually do, where the limits bite, and what is coming.
