Smarter AI Workflows in Microsoft 365 Copilot has been announced on the roadmap: Tools, Source Control, and Agents

Tool Selection in Copilot Chat: Making AI Features More Discoverable One of the most helpful updates in my opinion, is the introduction of the new “Tools” button in Copilot Chat. Users will soon see this button directly in the chat prompt box, offering quick access to a curated set of Copilot features such as Researcher, Analyst, Pages, and image generation.  This will hopefully help users with an easier path to the different tools at their disposal. The feature is turned on by default, with no admin configuration required. This feature is associated with Roadmap ID 497298 , and is expected to roll out in the last weeks of August.

How to locate users without the EXT in line uri and add it to them

on
Sometimes added users do not get their EXT set in their LineURI as they should, and it can be a frustrating to locate these users and to edit the lineURI to the proper format.

Fortunately, we have powershell for those kind of jobs. The following example will locate any csuser with a lineURI but without the extension set. Then add the extension to the lineURI and save the configuration.
$extSet = Get-CsUser -filter {lineuri -notlike "*ext*" -and lineuri -ne $null}
foreach ($user in $extSet){
$myURI = $user.lineuri
$myURI = $myURI + ";ext=" + $myURI.substring($myURI.length - "4") 
set-csUser -Identity $user.displayname -LineUri $myURI -verbose}

The example above will add the extension of 4. Edit this as fit for your environment.
I will add this example to the PsCommands sections as well
