SharePoint has entered its AI era — and this is not just another feature release.

In this episode, I walk through what’s actually changed, based on what I’ve been testing myself. From the new SharePoint AI agent that can build lists and libraries from a simple description, to the newly announced Skills capability that lets you teach SharePoint how your organisation works — this is a shift in how the platform is used, not just how it looks.

I break down what the AI agent can do today, where it still has limitations, and why I think the real opportunity isn’t for beginners — it’s for people who already understand how SharePoint should be structured.

We also touch on the SharePoint Admin Agent and what it means for governance, visibility, and understanding your environment without relying on scripts and exports.

But the biggest takeaway is this: AI doesn’t replace structure. It depends on it.

If your content is messy, untagged, and sitting in the wrong place, Copilot won’t fix that for you. It will just scale the problem.

This episode is a practical, no-hype look at what’s here now, what’s coming, and what I’d focus on first if you want to make the most of it.
