Thanks for watching. Hopefully as these roll out that frustration will dissipate. So far, these genuinely do seem to mark an easier path to extensibility.
Microsoft seem they whant us tu use AI but not the Microsoft AI, openAI or Grok ? but not copilot. Business Copilot does not work with the apps in any Windows 11 PC ?? 😥😥😑😑
The separation of consumer (Microsoft Copilot and Copilot Pro) and business (Microsoft 365 Copilot or Microsoft Copilot with EDP) does get confusing in the apps. For the Windows Copilot app you need a consumer login, a business login will not work. For the M365 apps Copilot integrations you need Pro (for most) or M365 Copilot (for all). And for some new AI features on say a Copilot+ PC you need a consumer (Microsoft account) login. But Copilot does work on Win11 with the right types of logins.
It's an effing mess, why don't they stop users wasting their time until they have a stable set of tools, I watched anotther video today by a senior microsoft developer that talked about a completely different approach to agents in copilot studio utilising so called 'dynamic chaining' activated through a new function, yet to be released called a "planner" no explanation as to what that is or where you find it! And obviously its not the existing planner app. It looks a good addition to copilot but how does this fit in with declarative and custom agents, has it been tested and does it work. My sense is MS needs to stop iterative updates and build a proper tool and then release it not this half assed process that changes every 5 mins.
I’m not sure what that is referencing either. I have not dug into this yet but my expectation would be that within the agent builder you would achieve dynamic chaining of actions by describing some sort of if-this-then-that methodology in the natural language instructions. I would understand that now the declarative agent and custom agent framing for extensibility will be solid, agents themselves are now GA (plugins never made it from preview) and while what you can put inside an agent may evolve, they should be solid enough now to start to build and extend over time.
Thanks. Very useful analysis. I am a CIO and both frustrated and excited about these developments. Your no-fluff approach is good to hear.
