Omg you look beautiful!! Congratulations to you both and my very best wishes to a long happy life together

Belated happy IWD day to you too!

And last but not least the folks who showed up for both my workshop sessions and stayed up to the very end - you are why I do this! Thanks for the questions, the conversation and the community ❤️ Happy #MicrosoftAITour day!

And always a joy to visit the Community booth - ask Betsy about the MVP program and Alicia about Microsoft Reactor Toronto. great to meet MVPs in person ❤️

The hub was still open - two booths that I found useful to visit.

Are you an entrepreneur? Check out the Microsoft For Startups booth, ask about Founders Hub!

Are you a learner- talk to Erik at the Microsoft Learn booth to learn about resources & certifications

Currently proctoring a full house for WRk551 workshop teaching you to build an multi-agent creative assistant application using Azure OpenAI

Also had a chance to explore the Hub area and hope to help out more later! These 4 topics are top of mind for AI engineers so stop by and talk to the experts there:

Azure AI Foundry
Azure AI Content Safety
Azure AI Agent Service
Azure Open AI Service

#MSAITour

Got a chance to check out the ‘Make a postcard with Trustworthy AI’ booth before the crowds file in. A great use of AI to create an image of you based on your personalized prompt with Microsoft Designer.

Let me say that it did a good enough job that you will recognize me by the outfit at least 😁

Listening to Alysa Taylor set the stage for keynote by identifying the three major shifts that moved the industry before- mobile, internet and cloud

And now the shift to AI with the Copilot ecosystem as your AI powered companion

Copilot = UI for AI
Human + Copilot + Agents

Me + AI + Automation

Packed room for the keynote at MSAITour - going to keep this thread open to share interesting things I hear or learn today

I’ll walk you through the steps to build a custom retail copilot for first on Azure AI Foundry- and give you a sandbox that you can take back home and revisit on your own to explore optional ideas or dive deeper into the details behind the development!
