Notes from the trenches of real projects. What worked, what didn't, and why — no marketing spin.
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.
A practitioner's reference for Power Platform core, Copilot Studio, Dataverse, Dynamics 365 Contact Center, and Dynamics 365 Customer Service.
Cowork's document skills — Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and PDF — with working prompts and the cross-skill chains that deliver finished files.
Using the Meetings and Daily Briefing skills in Cowork for prep, recap, action items, and a prioritized morning view of your day.
Microsoft's new 'IQ' layers - Work IQ, Fabric IQ, and Foundry IQ - provide AI agents with deep organizational context across work, data, and knowledge domains. Here's what they are, why they matter for enterprise AI, and how developers can use them to build smarter agents.
Cowork's Scheduling and Calendar Management skills — finding times, sending invites, reviewing the week, and defending focus time.
Using Cowork's Email skill to triage, draft, and send mail in Outlook end-to-end — with approval prompts before anything leaves your tenant.
Hands-on custom skills in Cowork — the SKILL.md format, OneDrive layout, a working weekly-report example, and the limits that still apply.
