😎 Episode 62: Human Touch 😍

This episode could maybe also have been called "AI Overdose" - but we keep our heads cool this time and focus on how important it is, still, with the human touch.
- And also - Ulrikke's head was so cool in fact - that she forgot to publish the episode 🫣 Sorry for the delay, guys.. 🙈

In this episode, you will get news and updates about Copilot Notebooks 📑, new features for Copilot Studio 🤖, and have you heard about Windows Vision 👀 yet? Did you know that Outshift by Cisco has created Yarvis or that Antropic has released a new training framework for AI called AI Fluency? 👏 Maybe not Power Platform related directly, but too good not to share 🥰 And sharing is caring.

Also in this episode, Tanguy Touzard will save even more people even more time with his new XrmToolBox 🛠️ tool, Ana Inés Urrutia plays around with 7 Research Agents in Project Sophia, Sara Lagerquist provides lots and lots of tips for using Plan Designer (now Plans in Power Apps?), and Naveed Ali Shah posts about gamechanger after gamechanger for Model driven apps and Dataverse!

Have you been stuck on a technical issue and resolved it by just talking out loud to someone... or something? Like a rubber duck?

Rubber ducking, also known as rubber duck debugging, is a problem-solving technique where you explain your code (or any problem) to an inanimate object, like a rubber duck, to help identify errors or inconsistencies.

Get your own Power Platform BOOST rubber duck by attending one of our sessions at an upcoming event or conference!

🤖🫣 Episode 61: AI Anxiety 🤖🫣

We are feeling the waves of AI Anxiety 🤖🫣 come crashing in from time to time. In this episode, Nick was feeling it, mostly from listening to an episode from another podcast, Diary of a CEO , where a panel discussed the real implications that AI will have on us, information workers.

That led us to a conversation about what the future of Business Applications might look like on the back of the new direction Power Platform is taking with Code Apps, Generated Pages, and Single Page Applications.

We start this episode with a recap of the ⚡ Power Summit 2025 conference in London 💂‍♀️ that we attended this past weekend. It's amazing to see Raz and the rest of the crew bringing the community together like this! 🥰 We learned lots from April Dunnam's keynote and about Playwright 🎭 from Arjan Rijsdijk.

Then we dive into the most important 📣 announcements and news from Microsoft Build 2025, like
🎨 copilot tuning
🤖 multiagent experiences
🎓 new knowledge features
🛠️ updated tooling

We also talk about MCP servers, how they relate to API's, the new NLWeb open source library, new AI capabilities in Power Pages, Plans and Generated Pages in Power Apps, and lots more.

Thank you 🙏 to the fabulous Lisa Crosbie, Sebastian Sieber, Taiki Y., Jared Spataro, David Gomes, Frank X. Shaw, Justin Graham, Nick Babich, Ryan Cunningham and David Wyatt for the amazing content they produced! 🤩

So - the time cop is finally fired! 🤪 We have officially stopped caring about time. It's simply because there is so much happening every week, and it feels like we are on this journey together. We hope that it is valuable to you when we share our experiences like this. We would love your feedback! Tell us what you think! 😊

In this episode we cover a whole whack of AI 🤖 content; podcast episodes, cheat sheets, news and announcements, blog posts and rants (not ours this time), interwoven with stories from our own lives and experiences we have had lately. AI is shaping all of our lives, and we share with you how it is shaping ours.

We also cover news and update from the rest of the Power Platform, like link-type options in Fetch XML, the power of Transactions in Power Fx Functions, handling of errors in plugins, the new process maps for Power Automate (the thing that got Ulrikke all excited in the clip at the start) and finally how to return a managed to unmanaged environments. Then we round things off with talking about burnout, and how to avoid it. No wonder this episode is an hour long, ai? 😆 (no pun intended)

Thank you to Jukka Niiranen, Geoff Woods, Femke Cornelissen, Charles Lamanna, Thomas van der Waard, RANJAL TIWARI, Scott Durow, Kailash Ramachandran, Michael Roth, Griffin Lickfeldt, Rebekka Aalbers, Luise Freese who's content inspired us this time.

Hope you enjoy this epic journey through our minds wherever you listen to this podcast. Thank you listening. Let's stay connected ❤️
