CCDev5 - One Copilot, Hybrid Intelligence and the Road to Ignite

Yeah, so, uh, so we've had the Fly with Copilot event series that we've launched, and we actually had first stop in Seattle, Redmond Microsoft offices, and then first one in Europe, which was Prague.

So I went along to that, and I covered SharePoint agents and all the good stuff coming into SharePoint.

Gary and SharePoint.

On the day, on the day it went GA no less.

So I feel like-

Really?

... you know, I'm giving everyone in the, in the audience the, you know, the, the, the true kind of view of what SharePoint can do.

And you're laughing kind of like, you know, I was a bit like, "Oh, I'm talking about SharePoint agents." I, I, I, I've worked with SharePoint for a long, long time, right? To the point where you kind of go, "Eh, SharePoint.

Yeah, I know what that's about." And then you look back-

Sorry, you didn't say loved, didn't say loved SharePoint for a long time, though

... it's a love-hate relationship, right? [laughs] I think everyone who's worked with SharePoint or who develops on SharePoint will probably say that.

But it was, it was really cool to come back and kind of look at, like, SharePoint now, but with AI coming in was really interesting because the s- jobs that, like, I would have done back in the day as a consultant and, like, designing, like, a site layout lists, maybe even metadata, and having the site creation agent kind of do that for you, and you're able to go through it in natural language and build out the structure of your site.

It's like that's, like...

We've come a long way since the days of, you know, I remember-

Absolutely

... create- having a diagram of all the, the different things that we were gonna build and then, you know, that would take a while, and then you go off and write the scripts to build it and, and, and all that.

Now it's all in an agent, and the, the platform can build that out f- for you.

And, you know, uh, I'm not saying it's gonna do everything for you, but it gets you 80, 90% of the way, and that's just so much easier.

Like, you know, the whole, "We've created a SharePoint site," great, and it's just the default.

Like, okay, what are we doing here? Like, now you can get kind of past that.

But yeah, it was, it was a really interesting kind of session, and I think a lot of other people were surprised in the room as well.

Like-

[laughs]

... "Oh, yeah, SharePoint can do this now.

This is pretty cool."
