Microsoft’s free, 12-lesson GitHub course on building AI agents offers a practical, hands-on primer that packages Microsoft tooling, agent design patterns, and runnable code into a single, modular learning path—making it one of the most accessible entry points for developers and IT professionals...

Capita’s fast-moving push to embed Microsoft Copilot agents into everyday operations is moving beyond pilot projects into live, measurable service transformation — cutting email response times, automating high-volume tasks, and wiring AI-driven “agents” into end-to-end processes for clients and...

Microsoft has quietly moved a critical enforcement point for enterprise AI agents from after-the-fact logging into the live execution path: Copilot Studio now supports near‑real‑time runtime monitoring that lets organizations route an agent’s planned actions to external monitors — Microsoft...

Microsoft has quietly pushed a significant control point into the live execution path of enterprise AI agents: Copilot Studio can now route an agent’s planned actions to external monitors (Microsoft Defender, third‑party XDR vendors, or customer endpoints) and receive an approve/block verdict in...

Microsoft’s Copilot Studio has moved from built‑in guardrails to active, near‑real‑time intervention: organizations can now route an agent’s planned actions to external monitors that approve or block those actions while the agent is executing, enabling step‑level enforcement that ties existing...

Microsoft has quietly but meaningfully shifted the balance of power between autonomous AI agents and enterprise defenders: Copilot Studio now supports near‑real‑time runtime security controls that let organizations route an agent’s planned actions through external monitors (Microsoft Defender...

Microsoft’s Copilot Studio has added a near‑real‑time monitoring and control layer for AI agents, letting enterprises intercept, evaluate and — when necessary — block agent actions as they execute, and giving security teams a new way to enforce policies at runtime without sacrificing agent...

Generative AI has arrived in the boardroom and the break room alike — but the difference between headlines and hard outcomes is leadership, disciplined execution, and the work of adoption that too many organizations still underestimate. A recent event preview and podcast discussion that...

Azure’s argument is stark but simple: it’s no longer a question of whether teams can build AI agents—the real battle is how quickly and reliably they can move from prototype to enterprise-ready deployment. Background The pace of agent development has accelerated from lab experiments to...

Microsoft and Cloudflare have quietly handed website owners a practical toolset to turn ordinary pages into AI‑friendly, conversational endpoints — a move that could accelerate the shift from traditional, keyword‑based search toward answer engines and materially reshape how traffic, attribution...

Elon Musk’s recent unveiling of Macrohard—a deliberately cheeky name for what he calls a “purely AI software company”—is more than a viral post: it’s a formal signal of intent from xAI that mixes trademark filings, infrastructure scale, legal maneuvering, and an explicit plan to monetize with...

Elon Musk’s xAI has quietly converted a social-media tease into a formal trademark filing and a full‑blown strategic salvo at Microsoft: the “Macrohard” project promises a purely AI software company built from cooperating agentic models, powered by xAI’s Grok family and the Colossus...
