EPPC26 Thursday keynote recap: Nirav Shah (Microsoft) introduces Agent 365 — the unified control plane for governing AI agents across Microsoft and third-party platforms. Covers the governance gap, shadow AI, KPMG case study (130K agents), local agent discovery, and new cost management features.
Rick Van Rousselt’s EPPC26 deep dive on RAG in Copilot Studio: chunking, embeddings, knowledge source comparison, a cautionary 100%-accuracy case study, and a production evaluation framework for a Dutch financial institution with 6,000 employees.
Artificial Intelligence has quickly moved from experimentation into everyday tools. Yet, in real-world business environments, many AI initiatives fail—not because the technology is lacking, but because the approach is wrong.

AI conversations often focus on complexity—multi-agent systems, advanced architectures, and large-scale transformations. But what if the real value comes from something much simpler? I attended Microsoft partner architect seminar in Hilton Kalastajatorppa. I had one session about developing Copilot Studio… Continue Reading →
What happens when you don’t just build agents—but use agents to build agents? In my session “Agent Stories Part 1: Copilot Studio agent development with an agentic approach”, I walked through a very practical and hands-on example of how agent… Continue Reading →
At some point, every Copilot Studio conversation hits a limit. Simple chat-based agents are easy to build.But real business problems rarely stay simple. I attended Microsoft partner architect seminar in Hilton Kalastajatorppa. I had one session about developing Copilot Studio… Continue Reading →
