New Year, New Momentum: Here are three Copilot updates to get you started into 2026

on
It's a new year, so I thought I'd start the year by mentioning three features already released, or soon going to be released. One of the features improves the workflow of sharing files with comments, the other improves the application specific Copilot, and the last feature makes it easer to find the nest available timeslot for a 1:1 meeting. As with all of my other posts, timelines can shift, and the timelines in this post is as written in the Message Center at the time of posting. AI-Summary experience when sharing files. With this new feature, copilot intent to help users share files with clearer context in just a few steps. Users will get the capability to generate a concise summary of a file and include it when sharing from the File Explorer share dialog or the OneDrive activity center. This will make it easier to share the context of a file and giving the receiver a faster understanding of what a document or file contains before they open it. General Availability announced...

11th MVP Award Rewarded

on

I am actually on vacation, but as I sit here under the summer sun, toes in the pool and a cold drink within reach, I have been waiting for that email confirming that I’ve been awarded my 11th Microsoft MVP Award! As last year, I am being awarded in both the Teams and Copilot category.

To say I’m humbled would be an understatement. Being part of the global Microsoft MVP community for over a decade now has been an incredible journey, filled with learning, sharing, speaking, and connecting with passionate technologists from every corner of the world.

What is the Microsoft MVP Award?

The Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) award is given to technology experts who share their knowledge and real-world expertise with communities. With fewer than 4,000 MVPs worldwide, it’s an honor to be part of such a vibrant and dedicated group. MVPs contribute through speaking engagements, writing, open-source contributions, and helping others online and offline. You can learn more about the program here.


Thank You

This recognition wouldn’t be possible without the people and organizations who support and inspire me every day.


  • Thank you to the PG (Product Groups) teams at Microsoft for welcoming feedback, opening doors to collaboration, and always pushing the envelope with innovation.
  • Thank you to my employer, Innofactor, for making it possible for me to invest time in community work, tech talks, and content creation, and for truly living the values of sharing and growth.

From late-night Teams messages to on-stage presentations and coffee-fueled blog writing sessions, this journey continues to energize and challenge me.

Looking ahead: MVP-Dagen this fall

I’m especially excited about hosting MVP-Dagen again this autumn. This event has become a highlight of the year for me. Where Norwegian MVPs come together to share insights, inspire others, and have some good laughs along the way. The community spirit and energy at MVP-Dagen is unmatched, and I can’t wait to help make it even better this year.

For now, I’m going to soak up a bit more sunshine, enjoy some well-deserved time off with my loved ones, and recharge for another year of tech, community, and innovation.

Thanks again to everyone who’s been part of the ride so far. Let’s keep building and sharing together.
