Power Platform Boost Podcast

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.
