Your GPUs aren’t the problem. Your data fabric is.
In this episode, we unpack why “AI-ready” on top of 2013-era plumbing is quietly lighting your cloud bill on fire—and how Azure plus NVIDIA Blackwell flips the equation. Think thousands of GPUs acting like one giant brain, NVLink and InfiniBand …
Your Power BI refreshes still crawling like dial-up? This episode exposes the real villain: your “safe” on-prem data gateway.
We tear apart the myth of the dumb tunnel and show how the gateway actually behaves like an overloaded processing engine—juggling auth, TLS, caching and concurrency.
You…
Still dragging cards around in Microsoft Planner like it’s 2015? In this episode, I show you how to stop babysitting boards and start speaking tasks into existence with a “Task Planner” Copilot agent.
You’ll learn how Planner, Copilot Studio, and Power Automate actually fit together: Planner kee…
🔍 Key Topics Covered 1) The Anatomy of an Autonomous Agent (Blueprint) - What “autonomous” means in Copilot Studio: Trigger → Logic → Orchestration. - Division of labor: Power Automate (email trigger, SharePoint staging, outbound reply) + Copilot...
Your Copilot sounds smart but secretly knows nothing about your business. It’s guessing from Wikipedia while your real memory—orders, invoices, inventory—sits locked in SQL Server behind the firewall. This episode exposes the fix: the Power Platform Data Gateway, a locked-down, outbound-only “spina…
Think adding Model Context Protocol to Copilot Studio is “just a custom connector”? This episode blows that lie apart. We unpack why the shiny MCP dropdown only talks to Microsoft’s own sources, and why your “connected” MCP is usually a dead tunnel, not a live bridge. You’ll learn what MCP really i…
Cloud Flows vs Agent Flows: The Budget Bombshell Microsoft Hoped You’d Miss
You’re building automations like it’s 2019 and it’s quietly draining your budget. The premium connector trap turns one small flow into a company-wide license bill. Hidden API throttling slows down your automations without …
Microsoft just made Python “run natively” inside Power Platform — and chaos followed.
From Copilot Studio’s Code Interpreter to Azure Functions, everyone’s suddenly a Python dev… until the flows time out, the files hit 512 MB, and IT gets a heart attack.
In this episode, we break down the great…
Microsoft says Copilot is now free across Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and OneNote. But here’s the twist: it’s not magic — it’s your data, orchestrated. In this episode we rip off the marketing gloss and show how Microsoft Graph pipes your emails, files, meetings, and notes into a single “AI b…
Your “intern” just became your scariest, smartest coworker—and it’s made of code.
In this episode, we unpack how Microsoft Security Copilot is quietly turning traditional Security Operations Centers into AI-driven defense factories. Forget drowning in alerts, phishing noise, and endless Patch Tu…
Most companies think Copilot = instant productivity.
Wrong.
Copilot isn’t the ROI engine — Power Automate is.
Copilot only “suggests.” Power Automate does the work.
In this episode we expose the 5 hacks that turn Copilot from a chatty intern into a revenue-generating automation machine — …
AI inside the Microsoft Power Platform isn’t “Copilot writes formulas” anymore. In 2025, Microsoft shipped four capabilities that fundamentally change how apps, data and automation get built: Dataverse Prompt Columns, AI Form Filler / Form Assist, Generative Pages and Copilot Agents. These aren’t f…
Managing identity in 2025 shouldn’t feel like running a smartphone next to a rotary phone, but that’s exactly what happens when organizations rely on both on-prem Active Directory and Microsoft Entra ID. This episode breaks down the real cost of that dual-directory setup: mismatched policies, sync …
This might be the week the bots stop “assisting”… and start working.
Microsoft quietly flipped a switch — and Copilot Studio can now literally use your computer.
Not API calls. Not connectors. Not cloud sandboxes.
Actual mouse movement. Real keyboard input.
A legit AI agent that can launch your…
In this episode of the M365 Show, we unpack the most common Power Apps mistake in the Microsoft 365 ecosystem: assuming SharePoint is a “free database.” We break down why SharePoint lists look like a database, but architecturally behave like a file-centric collaboration layer—not a transactional da…
Power Apps charts are obsolete. They look like a 1990s Excel demo and they can’t be styled, can’t be made dynamic, and can’t be made modern without pain.
We stop trying to fix them.
The new move is simpler: don’t render charts inside Power Apps at all. Let AI draw the chart image for you — on…
Most “inventory systems” are just Excel sheets LARPing as ERPs — and that’s why warehouses lose assets, fail audits, and end up with phantom spreadsheets nobody trusts. Barcode scanning isn’t a gimmick — it’s the only sane way to ingest perfect data into Dataverse once — not typed twice. Power Apps…
Power Apps makes it dangerously easy to build an app on a SharePoint list—and most beginners assume that if it works instantly, it must be the right foundation. It isn’t. SharePoint was never engineered to act like a real transactional database, and when you scale—users, data size, queries—delegati…
You paid for AI synapses — but you’re parking fossils. Fabric was engineered for real-time intelligence, semantic relationships, live context, and AI agents that reason. Most orgs treat it like a network share. The result? Zero cognition, zero AI, zero advantage — just expensive cold storage with b…
Your company isn’t blocked by data—it’s blocked by syntax.
Copilot Studio turns plain-English questions into governed Fabric queries, so “What was our revenue by quarter?” finally gets an instant, secure answer—no SQL, no tickets, no waiting. It’s not a chatbot; it’s a translation engine that reme…
Power BI is lying to you.
Those neat, orderly “Applied Steps” you trust are a façade.
Power Query is secretly rearranging, deferring, collapsing and sometimes ignoring the way you wrote your transform steps — which is why your filters don’t filter, your merges get weird, and refreshes suddenly go…
Copilot didn’t hallucinate — you hallucinated first.
Your schema lied → Fabric believed it → Copilot repeated it with confidence.
Bad Bronze → leaky Silver → fake Gold = executive decisions built on fiction.
Fix the Medallion discipline + fix the semantic layer — or keep paying for an AI that po…
Power BI isn’t failing because of visuals — it’s failing because nobody plans. 60–70% of BI projects become expensive wallpaper. This episode exposes the 3 discipline steps that separate strategic intelligence from dashboard vanity — why most organizations confuse activity for progress, and how to …
You Thought Your Power BI Maps Were Safe breaks down the Bing Maps → Azure Maps eviction — and why this is not optional, not cosmetic, and not “a visual upgrade.”
As of Oct-2025, Bing Maps visuals are deprecated.
If you don’t migrate, your map visuals become blank boxes.
This episode explains …
