Meet your new Copilot 365 assistants: Skills agent, Interpreter agent, Project agent and the facilitator

Making your tasks easier for you: The other day I wrote about the new Skills feature coming to Microsoft 365 in the following weeks. But the Advanced tier os the new skills feature is just one of three out-of-the-box agents already in place or coming the next weeks and months (and many more in the future, I'm sure). This agents are designed to handle "everything" from simple tasks to complex multi-step processes where you choose to implement them. In this rather length post, I’ll try to break down each agent’s capabilities, why they’re useful, and how you can prepare to make the most of them.

Speaking at NICCONF

on
The fifth Nordic Infrastructure Conference (NIC) is just around the corner (February 3-5 in Oslo Spektrum), and I am proud to announce I am listed as one of the speakers this year.
The NIC is probably one of the largest and best Nordic IT events of the year, and it is a perfect place to be to meet up with peers and partners form all over.

I am holding a slightly different type of session on this event. Instead of doing a lvl400 technical session, I’m doing a low level session where I want to focus and highlight on the end-user experience of a unified communication deployment.

If you have deployed a unified communications platform, or are looking at a deployment in the future, this session is for you. I’ll talk about what your goal could be, how to successfully prepare the organization, and give away some few tricks on how to prepare yourself as a user. Read the full session description on the event site.

 I might be speaking as Skype for business MVP, but the lessons lerned in this session can easily be applied to other technologies as well.

Session information: Unified Communications – Unplugged
Track: Server & Client Platform
Time: 04/02/2016, 14:40 - 15:40
Location: Room 3
