Microsoft GPT-5 boosts Dynamics 365 and Power Platform

At Techrupt Digital we’re seeing a clear trend: interest in Microsoft Copilot is rising with the rollout of GPT-5 in Microsoft 365 Copilot. The excitement is real, but the smartest ROI move is simple: start with Microsoft Graph. Copilot without Graph is just a bot Microsoft Graph holds the context: people, files, emails, meetings, and permissions. That context is what makes Copilot truly useful and accurate. Recent updates add richer context handling, custom Copilot connectors to bring external data into Microsoft Graph, and governance features that respect existing permissions. Your ROI from Copilot depends on how well your data is represented in Microsoft Graph. Get Graph right first. The Copilot wins follow.

🚀 Microsoft just launched two in-house AI models (MAI-Voice-1 & MAI-1-Preview) - and the strategic implications are huge While everyone's focused on the technical specs, I'm seeing a calculated move toward AI supply chain independence. What Caught My Attention: ⚡ MAI-Voice-1: Full minute of audio in <1 second on single GPU - Already powering Copilot Daily and Podcasts - Available in Copilot Labs for testing 🧠 MAI-1-Preview: Foundation model trained on 15,000 H100 GPUs - Public testing via LMArena (smart validation strategy) - Rolling into Copilot for real-world feedback The Strategic Chess Move: Microsoft isn't just building models - they're building AI self-reliance. After years of OpenAI partnership dependency, they're creating their own foundation layer. Why This Matters for AI Product Teams: ✅ Vertical Integration: Control your core AI stack vs relying on external APIs ✅ Cost Predictability: Internal models = no per-token pricing volatility ✅ Feature Velocity: No waiting for partner roadmaps or API limitations ✅ Data Sovereignty: Keep sensitive workloads in-house The Infrastructure Tell: Mentioning their "next-generation GB200 cluster is now operational" isn't just flexing - it's signaling serious long-term AI infrastructure investment. My Take: This follows the "build vs buy" evolution we've seen across tech. First you partner, then you acquire capabilities, finally you build in-house. Microsoft is entering the "build" phase of AI. For enterprise teams: Watch how MAI models perform vs OpenAI in real Copilot deployments. Could signal broader shift toward proprietary AI stacks. The LMArena testing strategy is brilliant - let the community validate before full rollout. Classic Microsoft: methodical execution over flashy launches. Are you seeing similar "AI independence" strategies at your organization? What's driving the build vs buy decisions in your AI stack? #Microsoft #AI #MAI #AIStrategy #ProductStrategy #MLOps #TechLeadership #EnterpriseAI #AIIndependence

=COPILOT() is a super quaint AI integration by Microsoft The new =COPILOT() function in Excel lets you analyze, generate content, in the grid! I can see all those who swear by excel-first already thinking of all the other functions this is going to make extinct 😀 Microsoft Microsoft Copilot

Building the next generation of AI assistants requires three ingredients: rich data, context-aware models, and scalable platforms. Microsoft’s latest Fabric + Azure AI Foundry integration delivers exactly that. With Graph connecting relationships, Maps enriching data with location context, and OneLake AI Search powering knowledge retrieval, assistants can go beyond Q&A to deliver situationally aware guidance. Imagine assistants that: ✅ Recommend supply chain adjustments based on live maps ✅ Surface hidden connections in customer data for sales teams ✅ Or in dev workflows, anticipate questions before you ask them The assistants of tomorrow won’t just answer — they’ll understand context and act on it. Fabric’s new features bring us closer to that reality.

GPT-5 Copilot is here in Microsoft 365, but having it isn’t enough. Mazik developed co-pilots at Microsoft’s request, so we know how to make this integration actually work for your business, cutting hours of repetitive reporting to minutes and surfacing insights faster. If your team is ready to get real value from GPT-5, now is the time to act. #AI #Copilot #GPT5 #Microsoft365 #Productivity #MazikUSA #EnterpriseAI #StaffAugmentation https://lnkd.in/gxxqRd4p

✨ Microsoft Edge is getting smarter with AI! Microsoft is testing a new feature called “Journeys” — an AI-powered tool that turns your browsing history into interactive summary cards. 🚀 Key details: 👉 Available for Copilot Pro subscribers ($20/month) 👉 Currently in Microsoft Edge Canary, not yet stable release 👉 Powered by Phi-4, a small language model that runs locally 👉 Helps users quickly recap and revisit browsing sessions in a structured way This could be a huge productivity boost — instead of digging through dozens of tabs or history logs, your browsing “journey” is neatly summarized. The question is: would you pay $20/month for features like this, or should AI assistants in browsers be part of the standard experience? 🤔 #AI #Microsoft #Edge #Innovation #Copilot #Productivity
