Record yourself doing a task once, and Skill Recorder turns it into a skill an AI agent can repeat. GitHub Copilot reconstructs your intent and steps, then builds a Skill or an Automation. Works with Cowork, Copilot Studio, Scout and more. https://github.com/microsoft/skill-recorder
A skill I built and tested on my own vacation is now in the PowerCAT catalog. It watches Teams and email for urgent asks from key people or topics, then pings my personal inbox. I disconnected and missed nothing: https://microsoft.github.io/cat-agent-skills/skills/vacation-urgent-forwarder/
PowerCAT shipped new resources for building Copilot Studio agents in the task paradigm (Cowork, Scout): https://microsoft.github.io/mcscatblog/posts/new-orchestrator-resources/ https://github.com/microsoft/copilot-studio-plugin https://microsoft.github.io/cat-agent-skills/
Tried something with Agent 365. My agent runs on an autopilot identity and queries Work IQ, so when I ask "which meetings did you have today?" it returns its own calendar, not mine. On an autopilot identity the token identifies the agent, not the user, so Work IQ answers as the agent.
Copilot Cowork is GA, so I reused the exact same MCP server and OAuth registration from my federated connector to power a Cowork plugin. No new Entra app, nothing to register again. https://www.developerscantina.com/p/cowork-mcp-connector/
You can plug your own MCP server into Microsoft 365 Copilot as a federated connector: live data on demand, nothing ingested into the tenant. New post with the full setup, Entra auth included: https://www.developerscantina.com/p/mcp-federated-connector/
The Work IQ APIs are now generally available. Give your custom agents Microsoft 365 organizational data, far beyond Graph. Built for every scenario: MCP and A2A for agentic, REST for traditional. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/blog/2026/06/02/announcing-the-new-work-iq-apis/
Copilot Cowork is now generally available. It runs complex, long running tasks against your org data and returns a finished result. New skill catalog to extend it, plus a Cost Management Dashboard for tracking Copilot Credits. GPT 5.5 (EUDB compliant) and Edge browsing are available in Frontier.
The day is here. I am at BeConnected in Italy today. Come to my two sessions: 🔹 10:55, Room 4: MCP in the Microsoft 365 Copilot ecosystem 🔹 16:10, Room 6: onboarding agents into Agent 365 Come say hi 👉 https://www.beconnectedday.it/?mtm_campaign=Speaker&mtm_kwd=MatteoPagani
BeConnected is next week, the number 1 free community event on Microsoft tech in Italy, on June 11. I am speaking twice: MCP in the Microsoft 365 Copilot ecosystem, and onboarding agents into Agent 365. Free and open 👉 https://www.beconnectedday.it/?mtm_campaign=Speaker&mtm_kwd=MatteoPagani
Microsoft Scout is out. Like OpenClaw, but with safe work-data access via WorkIQ, Teams built-in, skills, browser automation. I use it for briefings, OOF triage, expenses. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/blog/2026/06/02/introducing-microsoft-scout-your-always-on-personal-agent/
🚀 Speaking at BeConnected Day — FREE event in Milan, June 11th! Two sessions: 🔌 MCP in the M365 Copilot ecosystem 🤖 Onboarding agents into Agent 365 Grab your free ticket 👇 https://www.beconnectedday.it/?mtm_campaign=Speaker&mtm_kwd=MatteoPagani #BeConnectedDay #Copilot #MCP
Agent 365 SDK works beyond M365! Built a standalone web agent with full observability + governance via Agent 365, Azure Monitor & Aspire — all from one Microsoft OpenTelemetry package. One library, three destinations. 🚀 #Agent365 #OpenTelemetry #AIAgents
Vibe coding with GitHub Copilot can be genuinely fun when the result solves a real problem 😊 I built a React + Azure Functions PWA to plan our family trip to Disneyland Paris: shared timeline, weather-aware scheduling, live ride queues, restaurants, and manual rearranging. Small project, real use.
I had an AI agent test my event registration form 20+ times via Playwright — different data, complex routing, Excel verification. It found a bug I'd have missed. Playwright + AI agents is a game changer for boring-but-critical testing. 🤖
Last stop of the Copilot Developer Camp: Milan! Being kicked off right now by Paolo Pialorsi. Deep dive on building agents for M365 Copilot in the morning, hackathon in the afternoon. #CopilotDevCamp #Microsoft365
I vibe coded a tool to solve a common Copilot Studio need: seeing user feedback in detail. Filter by agent, search feedback, and expand any entry to see the full conversation context. Open source 👇 github.com/qmatteoq/copilotstudio-feedback #CopilotStudio #VibeCoding
GPT-5.5 is out and it's built for agentic workflows — multi-step reasoning, tool use, autonomous execution. Already available in Azure AI Foundry and GitHub Copilot. openai.com/index/introducing-gpt-5-5/ #GPT55 #AgenticAI
Kamal Shree and the one and only @donasarkar.bsky.social introduce the Copilot Developer Camp in Rome! Packed room and packed agenda, full of sessions and practical workshops on building agents for the Microsoft Copilot ecosystem #copilot #microsoft365
The first round of sessions from Microsoft Build 2026 has been added to the catalog! Go and check it out if you want a sneak peak of the topics that will be covered during the 2 days! Hint: AI will play a big role. And agents, of course 😊 build.microsoft.com/en-US/sessions #msbuild

Next level of smart working 😊 Getting ready for the Copilot Developer Camp in the Microsoft headquarters in Rome tomorrow! We have a packed agenda and an amazing line up of speakers! #copilot #microsoft365
Thanks to the support of my friend Francesco Lana, I upgraded my home network: 1) Upgraded my FTTH provider 2) Moved to Unifi and Dream Router 7 3) Added a new cable to bring Internet to my PC using Ethernet Well, I can’t complain 😊
Excited to be at the Global Azure Bootcamp in Milan! Join me at 5.15 PM to see how you can use Azure to manage authentication for an MCP server and consume it through the Microsoft 365 Copilot ecosystem www.azuremeetupmilano.it/e/3814/Globa... #azure
Today I had the great opportunity at the Microsoft AI Tour in Milan to show a glimpse of the future of Agent 365: hwo you can take any pro-code agent and, by using the Agent 365 CLI and the Agents 365 SDK, make it part of the control plane, so you can monitor it, govern it and protect it. #msaitour
Excited to join the AI Tour in Milan on March 10! I'll discuss integrating pro-code agents into Agent 365 for enhanced observability, monitoring, and security with Entra, Defender, and Pureview. Plus, an amazing lineup of speakers and sessions: aitour.microsoft.com/flow/microso... #aitour #agent365
Oh my way to Bucharest for a Copilot Studio hackathon with multiple customers. It will be an intense but fun week! #CopilotStudio #Copilot
Beautiful day in Milan to experience for the last time the Olympic spirit of the city #MilanoCortina #Olympics
Excited to see Microsoft Agent Framework reaching the status of Release Candidate! This means that the API surface is stable, so now it’s a good time to start migrating your projects away from Semantic Kernel #ai #dotnet
Microsoft Agent Framework Reaches Release Candidate | Microsoft Foundry Blog
Microsoft Agent Framework is now at Release Candidate. A stable, open‑source foundation for building single and multi‑agent systems across .NET and Python—on the path to GA.

We continue our journey on how to consume Entra-authenticated MCP servers in the Microsoft 365 ecosystem. After building a protected MCP server and used it in a declarative agent, now we learn how to do the same with Copilot Studio #mcp #CopilotStudio www.developerscantina.com/p/mcp-copilo...
