Don't you hate it when you're on your first cup of coffee, you see a solution to the PowerQuery issue with Azure Tables, so you go to check it and PowerBI crashes on you (it's never done this before I swear!), I might pray and reboot 👍😀

Suddenly with the addition of Copilot, the Power Platform starts to make more sense. I see Power BI!

Copilot continues to surprise. I continue to fight my way out of the black hole of licensing. I create an agent to help me, another dead end.

I'm testing a bot that uses PromptFlow to query Wikipedia. I thought I'd start with an easy geography question 'where is the Republic of China'. And guess who wasn't paying attention in school, gpt-4o-mini-2i! I blame it on the data it was trained on 🤣

This is pretty dodgey, I'm using ChatGPT to process a file an create topics for Copilot. Copilot it too dumb to readily do this :0)

I'm taking some QnAMaker ChatBot structured data that I used in a chatbot a long time ago and loading it into Azure Language Studio. Chatbots have grown up in the last few years. It can now give a meaningful answer to the dreaded 'Ham Sandwich' question 😀. Nice non-sequitur 🤣

On the positive side, I have problems with my icons disappearing in the task bar in Windows 11. So I gave the job to Copilot. I must say that it would never have occured to me to fix the problem by stoping and starting the windows explorer 😀👍, and it understood my typo!

Second test is to read the website that descibes how to build the App www.developerscantina.com/p/kernel-mem... . #RAD Response is good quality, performance quite zippy, I'll give it an #AI pass

This is the high point of the day, document loaded in memory ready for RAG. I should stop now while I'm in front :-)

I thought I'd give Copilot a simple technical task, but it can't get past the first hurdle and the grammar is pretty poor as well. I mean, not that I'm that fussed about good grammar, but WTF it mean?

Ok #PowerBI people, I'm try to get My Workspace to move to a Pro License, it's currently on Trial, but I need to remove this staging data warehouse, but it doesn't want to go! How do I fix this?

This is lovely test data, original and interesting, with doohickeys. I dream about stuff like this 😁
