Microsoft Copilot: Why Microsoft Graph is key to ROI

Picture this: You’re in a project review meeting. Someone asks for the latest customer feedback trends, another wants to see sales pipeline data, and someone else needs a draft proposal to send by the end of the day. Normally, you’d scramble between Outlook, Excel, Power BI, and Word, juggling tabs and deadlines.   Now imagine instead: - Copilot pulls insights from Teams chat, where customer notes live. - An agent in Copilot Studio queries Dynamics data for pipeline updates. - Another agent drafts the proposal in Word, all while you’re still in the same conversation. That’s not science fiction anymore. With Copilot Studio’s multi-agent capabilities and the evolution to GPT-5 reasoning, we’re seeing a fundamental shift: - Copilot can reason across multiple contexts (projects, departments, workflows). - It can delegate tasks to specialized agents for scheduling, compliance, and knowledge retrieval without requiring you to jump tools. - With low-code orchestration, enterprises can finally shape AI to match their workflows instead of adapting to rigid systems. This changes the narrative from AI “assisting” humans → to AI collaborating alongside humans and systems. It’s less about one Copilot giving answers and more about a network of Copilots working quietly in the background to keep business moving. What I’m seeing is that AI in Microsoft 365 is moving beyond add-ons. It’s quietly becoming the structure that holds enterprise intelligence together. How ready do you think organizations are to adopt a ‘Network of Copilots’ approach rather than relying on a single AI assistant?

I’m pleased to share that, thanks to strong cross-departmental collaboration, we have successfully released the Microsoft Agentic World video today. The video highlights real-world examples of AI agents built with Microsoft’s three core products—Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot Studio, and Azure AI. It demonstrates how AI agents can support day-to-day work, address business challenges, and deliver value through practical use cases. The content is designed to help decision makers intuitively understand the potential of AI adoption. • Microsoft 365 Copilot: Delivers out-of-the-box, basic agents to automate routine tasks and assist daily operations. • Copilot Studio: Enables no-code/low-code creation of specialized custom agents, integrating with internal systems to streamline workflows. • Azure AI: Powers advanced, fully customized agents for decision support, driving business improvements through large-scale data analysis and prediction. Through this video, viewers can clearly envision the benefits—greater operational efficiency, higher employee productivity, more time for creativity, and faster identification and resolution of business issues. By showcasing practical applications and expected outcomes, the video aims to inspire organizations to consider adopting Microsoft AI agents. This release is a key step in demonstrating how Microsoft AI agents can transform the way businesses work. https://lnkd.in/gbm-sHXa

Microsoft Copilot is everywhere in the news, but here's what they don't tell you: At £22 per user per month, Copilot can DOUBLE your Microsoft 365 costs overnight. For a 200-person organisation: - Current E3 costs: £5,046 monthly - Adding Copilot: £4,400 monthly - New total: £9,446 monthly (87% increase) Before you jump on the AI bandwagon, ask: → Which users will actually benefit from AI assistance? → Is your data governance ready for AI tools? → Can you measure productivity improvements to justify the cost? Smart approach: Start with a pilot group of power users, measure results, then scale gradually. Don't let AI hype derail your budget discipline. Need help planning a cost-effective Copilot rollout? Let's discuss your strategy. hashtag #MicrosoftCopilot #AI #Microsoft365 #ITBudget #DigitalTransformation

🚀 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

The time for AI is NOW. Copilot and Microsoft Fabric are no longer “future tech” - they’re today’s competitive advantage. Organizations that embrace AI-powered insights, automation, and data-driven decision-making are already pulling ahead; those who hesitate risk being left behind. With Copilot woven into the Microsoft ecosystem and Fabric unifying analytics at scale, we finally have the tools to: - Unlock productivity gains across every role - Break down data silos for faster, trusted insights - Empower teams to focus on impact instead of manual effort This isn’t about experimenting anymore. It’s about scaling. It’s about transforming how your business thinks, acts, and delivers value. If your organization hasn’t built a roadmap for Copilot and Fabric adoption, the best time to start was yesterday. The second-best time is today. The time for AI is NOW. #MicrosoftFabric #Copilot #PowerBI #AI #DigitalTransformation #Microsoft

When you’re brainstorming the big things, don’t forget to use AI to accelerate the little things too. Post-it notes are still a popular medium at away days and for ideation but recording a wall of scrawl is a painful chore. Instead of typing them up, tell Microsoft Copilot or your favourite LLM to transcribe a photo of your wall and group them into bulleted lists. You still need to check the results but it’s a lot quicker than starting from scratch. Tip: ask people not to overlap notes and avoid using blue notes or you’ll need to adjust the image contrast. At HM Revenue & Customs we’re starting to collect and share these little personal productivity tips. A recent limited Copilot trial, if the results scale up, suggests that next year we could see as many as 2 million hours saved across the organisation. That frees up time for delivering better customer service, closing the tax gap and looking up from the grind to think about modernising everything we do. Time saved on the little things enabling time to implement the big things. #AI #Copilot #Microsoft #HMRC #Innovation
