With all the fuss around OpenAI Operator, I added Browser Use to one of my demo repos. Browser Use is similar to OpenAI Operator in that it can go to a website and interact with it in the background and perform actions.

Even though I did not like it, I finished season two of Silo yesterday.

What I liked: the style, cinematography and Rebecca Ferguson.

What I did not like: the continuous switching between the two silos and the overall story line which was kind of bland and boring

Holding my breath for S3! 😉

I often use, or try to use, the port forwarding capabilities of VS Code. I am not sure why but for me, the tunnels it creates are just not reliable. I get much better results from ngrok. On top of that, ngrok provides a nice UI to see all the calls and inspect outputs.

I needed a simple UI for an agent created with the Azure Agent Service. I decided to try Lovable and created a chat ui with authentication and chat history support in minutes.

Season 2 of Silo is unbelievably boring. Total snoozefest.

I wrote about using WebRTC to work with the OpenAI Realtime API. It allows you to add advanced voice capabilities, similar to advanced voice in ChatGPT, to your own apps.

Now that the OpenAI realtime API supports WebRTC, I created a quick sample that also includes function calling.

It's so weird... you go buy a car and you know more about the car than the salesperson. How is that even possible?

I predict you will get sick of the term "agents" pretty soon. If you aren't already! 😉

I will die on this hill: private endpoints in Azure were a mistake.

It’s confusing for most people and gets worse as more services are added.

Everything should have been internal by default with the option of making it public with configurable WAF.

This is somewhat drowned out by all the AI stuff @ Ignite. However, a local Azure Service Bus emulator is super useful.

I expect a lot of talks about agents at Ignite. A lot of this is already known:

➡️ Agents in SharePoint
➡️ Agents created from Copilot Chat or Studio
➡️ Agents created with VS Code
➡️ Autonomous agents in Copilot Studio
➡️ Lower-level agents built with Semantic Kernel

And more!

I had a discussion about Azure Container Apps versus Azure Functions today. It's not the first and will not be the last.

Unless it's for lightweight event-driven workloads, we pretty much default to Azure Container Apps and in some cases Kubernetes.

Easy choice but I guess it depends on prefs...

I was in an Urban Outfitters shop last week. For my daughter, not me! 😉

Great music though. Picked up a few good tracks with Shazam. This one for instance.
