Power Platform Boost Podcast

In this episode, we cover two big announcements: Microsoft Copilot Apps on Managed Runtime - or Managed Apps, as we will continue to call them (rebels unite!) AND Microsoft's superapp: the new "Copilot OS for all form factors" with Home, Code, and Autopilot!

In other news, we also share content from Charles Sexton, Lisa Crosbie, Danish Naglekar, Michael Megel, and Michel Mendes covering topics like Power Platform Toolbox, Generative Pages, and GitHub Spec Kit. Also, check out the recording of Scott Durow on the Community Call where he presented the new Operative Next Gen course in Agent Academy for the new Copilot Studio Harness!

Nick shared his experience as a speaker and attendee at Scottish Summit, and Andy Kemp shared a gentle reminder in the form of a blog post about what it can feel like to find your place at community events like this. 

Puh! That's a lot to cover in one episode - so buckle up for the ride!

Episode 95: Nordic Summit 2026

This time we come to you "live" - or at least together - from Nordic Summit 2026 in Billund, Denmark! We sat down at the end of the two-day conference for a short recap of what it was like for Ulrikke to be an organiser and for Nick to be a speaker at this community event. 

One of the popular topics for this conference was the new way to build apps from Copilot Cowork and Copilot Studio for those with tenants enrolled in the Frontier Program, as announced by Ryan Cunningham. At Nordic Summit, we saw Cooky and Matt Beard demo this in their session, and we have links to the announcements in the show notes.

Also - if you are in the process of migrating from any CRM system into the Dynamics 356 CE platform, have a look at the Dynamics 365 Activate accelerator announced by Jeff Teper. 

We also highlighted some content around Power Pages from Tino Rabe and Ritwik Ganni, and had a good old banter about SSL/TLS Certificates for Power Pages - which you can now get directly from Microsoft instead of having to rely on a third party - we learned from Ritwik Ganni. 

Make sure to check out your local area for community events! Europe is on fire at the moment, and we are positive you will find a place to learn, teach, discuss, and network somewhere near you. Have a wonderful rest of your week and take care.

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 🌴

This episode starts with a recap of the biggest 📣 news and announcements for the Power Platform ecosystem from Microsoft BUILD last week. We are still buzzing from learning about Microsoft IQ, the new Autopilot from Microsoft called Scout🦞, the new Closed Loop Learning 👩‍🎓 for Power Apps MCP Server, and the Connector Inventory 🗃️ for governance. 

Our friends from The Cloud Advocacy 🥑 team at Microsoft published some great resources again this week, including a guide by April Dunam to help us understand when to use Sout, Copilot Cowork, M365 Copilot, or Copilot Studio. Scott Durow posted a great visual walkthrough about the completely new ✨️ experience for building with Copilot Studio! It's not just a facelift - it has been rebuilt from scratch, and the whole mental model has changed! If you need to deep-dive 🥽, Resa Dorani has you covered with a video showing all the new bells and whistles. 

There is a bunch of new content from the community again this week! It is an exciting time to be a technologist, that's for sure.
