Shadow AI poses a greater risk than overshared content. Providing managed GenAI does not need to be held up by protecting company secrets, you can do both and that's what I've been busy with these days.

An article on GenAI training in today's Star describes the need to align training to recognize that different roles will use AI in different ways, and the need to deliver for different learning styles, often generational. The solution? More AI. Interesting read. www.thestar.com/business/opi...

This week in "your devices aren't really yours," Google announces end of life for early Nest thermostats. What a great time to switch to another brand.

Thanks to @buckleyplanet.bsky.social for hosting #CollabTalk once again. Great questions prove I don't need to know a lot about a topic to have opinions (though experience with Studio certainly helped)! Have a great day out there, cheers.

A7: My suggestion for the future of agents is to make it easier to make user context available in the prompt priming script - user roles, location, event their expertise with a topic, can influence how the agent should answer and what it should assume. All my votes go on that request. #CollabTalk

A6: It's hard to say what feature I'm waiting for most with SharePoint & Copilot agents. I honestly think multiple fully developed add-ins are a better model than having multiple agents in a chat, and that one could prove a net minus. #CollabTalk

A5: With Copilot agents, I haven't found it easy to pull info from the current user's profile (role, home office, current location), perhaps this is easier with SP agents thought I wouldn't expect it, and that context often matters. #CollabTalk

A5: The biggest constraint of Copilot agents I find is that they often need a lot of context guidance to provide good answers. Who's asking and are answers role-dependent? What office are they in and what content applies there? Will it ask the right (or any) follow-up questions? #CollabTalk

A4: Getting a view of unique permissions, sharing links, and external access in M365 is a must-have for any org that values security. My favourite tool there is Envision IT's Tenant Dashboard (envisionit.com/products/m36...), which gives you all that at a glance. It's a truly killer app. #CollabTalk

A4: Preparing for SP Agents is identical with Copilot in general - have a unified view of your content and permissions and a plan to remediate oversharing, and then layer in Purview for Info Protection, Data Loss Prevention (DLP), and Retention. #CollabTalk

A3: The Q is about managing the SP Agents that people will create and I think training & awareness are still the best answers. People who understand basic prompt engineering are able to build useful agents. Holding hacklabs and other events where they can learn + build is a great start. #CollabTalk

Here's where I defer to people who've been planning SharePoint Agents - managing the rollout is really important and allows an opportunity to tap IT's experience and familiarity with company AI policy (presuming there is one!). #CollabTalk
A3 One way is to require a formal approval process for agent deployment, ensuring alignment with content policies, compliance, and business needs.

A2: To enable effective, security-minded SP agents, it's still best to take a "Teams-first" approach to site planning. Avoid unique permissions, subsites, and all those things that make permission audits difficult. #CollabTalk

A1: SharePoint Agents make it possible for anyone to make a Q&A app to ask questions about content in SP - Copilot Studio is not necessary. I just built a Copilot Studio agent for Policies and Procedures, and now an end user could conceivably do the same without IT's involvement. #CollabTalk

There are perennial warnings that America is coming for Canada's freshwater and 99 times out of 100 you can ignore it as alarmism not grounded in fact.

Last thought on migrations is to make sure everyone actually made the switch. One client could never get legal counsel to make the change, in the worst case you'll find a skunkworks subscription to an old service. Proactively white glove, and watch for people using the old system. #CollabTalk
