Power Platform Boost Podcast

Soo.. Someone got their knickers in a twist about the new AI at Work roadmap! :D We also discuss the future of Power Platform based on what we gather from this new merge of the release notes - and also test out the new Microsoft Release Communications MCP Server, which is great if you want to create your own roadmap agent.
We also highlight content from Richard Riley, Howdang Rashid, Lisa Crosbie, and Em D'Arcy around the word of the week: tokenomics. We also explore the new Project HydraFusion for GitHub Copilot, which enhances multi-model orchestration.

In this episode, we share some tips and tricks we use when working with coding agents to keep them up to date and our project work coding-agent-agnostic. The Power CAT team has released an update to the Copilot Agent Kit - an essential tool for anyone working with Copilot Studio. 
Training and keeping certifications up to date is also important, and we can now get help from Vivian Voss's new Free Microsoft Certification Trainer website. It's also important to keep on top of the changes to security setup for Power Pages, and we highlighted some other new features as well. 
Thank you to the amazing people behind the content we highlighted this week: Anouck Fierens, Vivian Voss, Tino Rabe, Nagesh Bhat, the Power Platform Podcast by Mark Christie and Malin Martnes, with guest Scott Durow.
Hope you all are having a great week and that you stay safe and take care.

Yiiiihaa!! This time we spent a fair bit of time talking about the mental model around the new announcements for Copilot Studio, and that it's now based on the GitHub Copilot Harness, and what that means. 
Our amazing friends at the Cloud Advocacy team released a new module for this new harness already! Shout out to Elaiza Benitez, Daniel Laskewitz, Scott Durow, Jack Rowbotham, Dona Sarkar and April Dunnam. Combine this course with the extensive list of recorded webinars by the CAT Team, that cover everything that you can possibly come across when working with Copilot Studio!
We also need covered community content around how to make a podcast recording from the daily digest from all the newsletters you subscribe to but don't have time to read, by Remi Dyon. We wanted to shout out to the newsletter crews that keep us in the loop every week: Power Platform Weekly, curated by Carina M. Claesson, Daniel Laskewitz, Ed Gonzales, and Magnus Gether Sørensen; Power Platform Dev Weekly, from Danish Naglekar and Anwesha Sharma; the Copilot Studio Newsletter on LinkedIn, curated by Bülent Altinsoy; Charles Sexton's series of Code Apps updates; and How to AI, Ruben Hassid's newsletter on Claude and AI tools

It's in the middle of the summer for both of us; Nick just had a serendipitous experience 🏆️ at the local grocery store, and Ulrikke just came back from an Interrail trip 🚅 through Europe with the kids! If you want to hear about our summer experiences, tune in to this cutout: 🏖️Boost Extra! Summer Vibe! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=draieQra5tA 😎 
 If you are looking for something more tech-related to fill your ears with while on holiday, EPPC just published the keynotes from last week's event on ▶️ YouTube! We highly recommend you tune in to watch the keynotes by Ryan Cunningham, Nirav Shah, Leon Welicki, and the rest of the Microsoft team! 🤩 It was refreshing to watch the only non-Microsoft keynote speaker, Chris O'Brien. He talked about what's discussed in the boardrooms and how to align your career to stay relevant. 
We also picked up LinkedIn posts from Steve Mordue, Jukka Niiranen, and Scott Hanselman this week as they touched on the same nerve as Chris did in his keynote, echoing some of the fears - but also proposing solutions for all of us working in this fast-paced⚡️AI era. 
Also, Vesa Juvonen, the Copilot Studio CAT team, Nagesh Bhat, Michel Mendes, Luciano Spiguel, and Kunal Sethi gave us technical deep dives and interesting📣 announcements around M365, SharePoint, Copilot Studio, and Power Pages this week 😀
Hope you are having a great summer (or winter) wherever you are, that you take care to manage the heat 😅 for yourself and your loved ones, and that you stay safe. Catch you next time 🌴
