What is PPAC? (#86)

WEBVTT
00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:02.080
Then you have to look uh elsewhere.
00:00:02.160 --> 00:00:14.640
And the elsewhere is a power platform admin center, or famously known as P Pac, which one of my colleagues just very sweetly came up to me the other day and said, You said PAC like 15 times today.
00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:16.559
And I really wish I knew what it was.
00:00:16.719 --> 00:00:18.719
And I was like, sorry, sorry.
00:00:18.879 --> 00:00:20.640
It's just that's because that's what you do.
00:00:20.719 --> 00:00:22.239
This is just a language that you adopt.
00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:25.519
And then you talk to someone that doesn't really know PowerPlatform that well.
00:00:25.679 --> 00:00:28.719
And she's like, she's she'd been wrecking her brain for the whole day.
00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:30.239
Like, what is the P Pak?
00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:33.759
And then I explained it, and she was like, oh, of course now it all makes sense.
00:00:34.240 --> 00:00:36.240
It's like uh it's like Jen in the IT crowd.
00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:38.159
So what does IT stand for?
00:00:58.560 --> 00:01:10.239
Hello everyone, and welcome to the Power Platform Boost Podcast, your timely source of PowerPlatform news and updates with your hosts, Nick Dolman and Ulrike Ackerbeck.
00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:12.640
I'm not even gonna hit test recording this time.
00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:13.359
You always seem to be able to do that.
00:01:13.519 --> 00:01:15.120
We're just diving right in.
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:22.319
Because usually we can test recording, but I mean you always seem to be able to level the audio out, so I thought, yeah, heck it.
00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:23.200
What what the heck?
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:24.079
Let's just go for it.
00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:25.599
I have tools to do that.
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:31.840
I have trust in your ability to get us safely into uh listenable kind of free.
00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:34.000
Yeah, now you've you are a bit low.
00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:40.959
Yeah, I know, and you're a bit low on my end, which we've kind of fixed, but now he's kind of back to what it used to be, so completely a jingster.
00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:41.599
Okay.
00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:42.879
Well f well, it's all good.
00:01:43.120 --> 00:01:50.400
And it looks like I'm in uh winter darkness and you're in summer brightness, and you look so tanned and all kind of good.
00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:53.040
I'm not tanned, but that's a whole other story.
00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:54.319
Because I'm not tanned.
00:01:54.560 --> 00:01:57.680
I usually by this time of year I am, but it's like blasting.
00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:00.000
If I do that, then uh you won't see me.
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:00.959
I'll just go white.
00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:02.079
I'll just look like a ghost.
00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:02.719
Yeah, yeah.
00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:09.280
I wasn't sure if it was gonna show up through the camera, but yesterday me and my coach did a bench press session with the shirt.
00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:14.800
It didn't go great because it was really humid and get the shirt didn't fit right.
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:19.680
And we were just trying to get the going with a lot of technology, just trying to get the bar to touch.
00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:21.919
So anybody who knows powerlifting probably knows what I'm talking about.
00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:26.240
Long story short, I my fate, like a lot of a lot of pressure and stuff.
00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:28.800
So it happens sometimes, especially in competition.
00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:32.960
You'll see guys with red faces, a lot of little capillaries and whatever else burst.
00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:36.800
And uh after I looked at the mirror and I'm going, holy crap, like it was a tough session.
00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:38.400
And we have another one before I leave.
00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:40.560
But but anyways, that's why I'm tanned.
00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:41.439
Okay.
00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:47.280
I think I feel like by now, at this point in our relationship, I should know these things.
00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:49.759
But you haven't done that so many.
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:52.159
You kind of like this bad.
00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:58.800
But it was just, it was more of a this the bar isn't touching, so it's kind of like, what do we what do you do in this situation?
00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:07.759
Well, you keep trying, and then of course you can only do so much because you burn a lot of energy, but then it's like, okay, let's load on more weight to see if we can get the bar to push down further.
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:10.319
And we tried that and kind of worked, but kind of didn't.
00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:12.639
So we'll have another coaching session later this week.
00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:14.560
So worlds is next week.
00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:15.919
What's the worst that can happen?
00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:18.479
Oh yeah, well, I know, I know how it feels.
00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:19.439
But you feel okay though?
00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:20.159
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:20.960
Yeah, okay, good.
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:21.280
Yeah.
00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:25.199
And I know because you have to pull it down, then shirt's so weird.
00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:27.120
It's kind of reversing the whole thing.
00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:29.280
Yeah, you saw me lift with the shirt too.
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:30.080
You saw that live.
00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:32.080
So you you under you've seen the craziness.
00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:42.879
I know, I've seen it, and I know how, you know, because you've explained to me how hard it is to actually get the freaking bar to touch your chest, even though it should be hard to get it off your chest, not to touch it.
00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:43.840
But I get it.
00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:44.879
I'll just close this off.
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:46.960
I am very prepared today, as you can tell.
00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:52.560
Okay, but let's get started with the news and updates from the power platform community because the list is very long.
00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:54.159
So bear with us people.
00:03:54.240 --> 00:03:56.400
There's so many goodies here this week.
00:03:56.639 --> 00:03:57.039
My god.
00:03:57.199 --> 00:04:04.800
Let's start off at the top with some opportunities for those of you who like these kind of things to earn some money.
00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:06.000
Oh yeah, mixing.
00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:15.919
Okay, so we have been raving on and on and on about the Agent Academy.
00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:18.879
We do the curriculum as a workshop we did it in Khalilika.
00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:22.240
We're gonna do it again at European Power Platform conference this summer.
00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:27.680
And also Agent Academy Live on Ma May 12th was that just blew my mind.
00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:29.199
I was loved it end to end.
00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:30.000
It's so good.
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:34.160
And also they announced uh the opportunities and win some money.
00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:38.399
So would you like to kind of go through what it was, or do you want me to?
00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:41.680
Well, I I can talk a little about the the hackathon.
00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:49.040
So my understanding is it's you're you're going to be, you can go in and post uh work on your own agents.
00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:52.480
Um, of course, you know, inspired by what you've learned at the Agent Academy.
00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:54.480
It's open to everyone, which is pretty cool.
00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:56.800
There's a whole bunch of like there's cash prizes.
00:04:57.040 --> 00:05:01.040
You have to have your submission in, I believe it starts May 12th.
00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:01.920
So it's already started.
00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:04.720
It's already underway, but you have until June 2nd.
00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:08.800
And you have to be 18 years of older or you know, work with the parent.
00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:15.920
And uh for our fans in Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Syria, region of Crimea, Russia.
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:19.759
Um, unfortunately, you're because of where you live, you can't participate.
00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:23.120
Um, but there's different tracks um to match your experience level.
00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:25.040
Um, it's got to be your own original work.
00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:28.800
It's you have to have, I think you have a demo video involved and things like that.
00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:37.040
But basically you're gonna be building agents and kind of showing off what you've learned, hopefully with real world solutions or very practical ones.
00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:39.600
And then yeah, you can win prizes, which is really cool.
00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:46.879
And we'll put in the show notes the link for all the details of how to enter, uh what your, you know, the eligibility, the judging criteria.
00:05:47.040 --> 00:05:50.560
And uh yeah, I'm really curious to see what people are gonna come up with.
00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:51.439
This would be really cool.
00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:52.319
This is so cool.
00:05:52.399 --> 00:05:54.560
And I mean, June, yeah, June 2nd.
00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:58.319
So there's still a lot of time left to build something cool and get through it.
00:05:58.399 --> 00:06:02.800
And I mean, if you needed another incentive to go through it, then this is it, right?
00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:09.759
And if you aren't planning on doing this or getting started with a curriculum, go through Agent Academy Live and the recording.
00:06:09.839 --> 00:06:13.920
I know it's six hours long, but man, I mean, this is awesome.
00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:20.800
I will be honest, I didn't go through all of it, so I but I got everything up until the co the work IQ bit.
00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:30.800
But I must say, the Ryan Cunningham keynote where he left us with the thought of show me your moonshot, if that doesn't register with you, that's something you haven't seen or heard before.
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:33.279
I highly recommend seeing his keynote.
00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:37.920
This is kind of the way that Microsoft is now encouraging us to take this to the next level.
00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:41.360
And I love this thought leadership kind of idea around it.
00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:49.519
I've heard some Norwegian Microsoft people present kind of the same marketing um spill the last few weeks.
00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:51.839
And I must say it actually resonates with me.
00:06:51.920 --> 00:06:55.920
And not a lot of this Microsoft Kool-Aid stuff do, but this is actually really good.
00:06:56.079 --> 00:07:03.920
And also we go on to see how the new flow designer, we're gonna talk a little bit more about that later, but the workflow designer is just so cool.
00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:06.160
So uh Joe Fernandez takes us through that.
00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:17.759
And then there's a session on some Copali Studio and MCP integration and the new user interfaces in Copilot and PowerPlatform by Andreas Adner, which we've had on this podcast a lot of times.
00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:20.160
He walks us through a lot of these new capabilities.
00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:25.360
Also, Marcel Ferreira talks us through PowerPlatform pipelines and all the little things.
00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:26.720
That was very familiar to me.
00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:31.519
I do this as a session at all conferences, and it was like, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:33.199
He covers all the basics, it's so good.
00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:40.480
Vivian Voss, who we know well from the community, takes us through testing, which was like, yes, we've been talking about testing, right?
00:07:40.639 --> 00:07:44.000
And how in this world of AI, testing becomes so important.
00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:46.959
And how do you test the thing that's supposed to test the thing?
00:07:47.199 --> 00:08:00.000
I mean, she goes so meta with the session, and it's so much fun to see kind of she has these different metrics to test for, how to use agents to test and how to actually do regression testing so that you know that you get the same results over time.
00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:01.040
It's just so good.
00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:04.800
So, I mean, if you have the time, put it on double speed if you like.
00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:06.560
If there's something you know, you can skip it.
00:08:06.639 --> 00:08:10.240
But I actually do recommend everyone getting started with this.
00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:14.319
If you're new to PowerPlatform or Gentech Development, watch it end to end.
00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:18.240
Then you will know that you get a good foundation to learn all the other things.
00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:23.040
So this is now my new favorite resource to share with anyone who kind of goes, because I get these, yeah.
00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:23.920
I'm sure you do as well.
00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:25.439
I'm getting started with PowerPlatform.
00:08:25.519 --> 00:08:26.319
Where do I start?
00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:27.839
Especially for my colleagues.
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:30.480
This is where you start right now, it is at least.
00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:31.279
So awesome.
00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:32.799
Congratulations to the team.
00:08:32.960 --> 00:08:33.919
Well, very well done.
00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:39.679
And I love seeing AirPod and Donna in the studio with a little uh power heel or yeah, the boot.
00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:41.039
So that was the boot.
00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:41.840
What do you call it?
00:08:42.000 --> 00:08:44.320
The stiletto, the shoes, the heels.
00:08:44.639 --> 00:08:47.039
Power power heels, power, what do you call it?
00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:47.919
I I don't know.
00:08:49.759 --> 00:08:51.200
Donna had such a good name for it.
00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:52.639
I must look it up because I love it.
00:08:52.720 --> 00:09:00.320
And it's a homage to the the new uh Devil Roads Prada movie, of course, which I haven't seen because I live under a rock, but that's another thing.
00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:01.120
It's all good.
00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:03.919
So enough about my raving um about that.
00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:05.440
So yeah, let's let's move on.
00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:09.919
But we will put the links to the to in the show notes for all of us and absolutely do check it out.
00:09:10.159 --> 00:09:10.399
Yes.
00:09:10.559 --> 00:09:18.720
So moving along, of course, uh our our buddies uh Josh and Charles, of course, like our machines talk about I think they think they're an AI.
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:19.679
They're a non-stop.
00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:21.519
No, because they're not.
00:09:21.679 --> 00:09:24.159
Because if it was AI, it would be more perfect.
00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:28.240
The per the thing about them that's so perfect is that it's so not perfect.
00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:29.200
And I love it.
00:09:29.279 --> 00:09:30.720
I just yes, go guys.
00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:33.840
Yeah, yeah, we're definitely uh we're definitely fans, fans of their work.
00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:38.639
And so now they're talking about, you know, the ability, of course, to call power automate flows within code apps.
00:09:38.799 --> 00:09:41.039
Um and they talk about the gotchas as well.
00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:46.480
And uh and you talk about like talk about yeah, connection ownership and connection references.
00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:53.440
Uh yeah, what a year or two ago, we were like on the like trying to figure this stuff out and trying to weave our way around it.
00:09:53.519 --> 00:10:02.720
And we got like Benedict on the phone say, like, how the like this, and he goes, telling us no, it does, it's not logical, but you know, two steps backward, one step back forward.
00:10:02.879 --> 00:10:07.840
But anyways, it's just cool that yeah, it's something that Microsoft should address, hopefully, at some point.
00:10:08.000 --> 00:10:08.960
But yeah, anyways.
00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:26.000
And Josh and Josh and Tara says so as well in their video because they're going, they're all chippy, and yeah, let's do this, and you just need to do that and determinal this and the security set setting there and go through the documentation, and then they go into it, and then they have the flow and then you have the app, and then they go in and go, uh no, it doesn't work.
00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:26.720
Why doesn't it work?
00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:28.000
You created a connection.
00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:29.279
Oh, I need to be owner of the connection.
00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:30.720
Still doesn't work.
00:10:30.799 --> 00:10:31.360
Why doesn't it work?
00:10:32.399 --> 00:10:37.919
And it's just that's what it's like is you have the app, you have the flow, you have all of the pieces.
00:10:38.080 --> 00:10:39.120
And actually, you know what?
00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:40.879
It's the connecting of the pieces now.
00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:42.159
That's where we're stopping.
00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:45.279
That's where we hit a little bit of a wall sometimes now.
00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:57.200
And I just also a little bit of a shout out to Peter, who helped me out in the last PowerPage Portal lunch that I did, uh a community kind of meetup I had last week, where he showed how to work with code apps.
00:10:57.279 --> 00:11:00.399
And he did that as a demo, 20 minute long, nothing about the app.
00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:06.240
The app building part, the button, the functionality, what it can do, the fancy looking thing, not a single word.
00:11:06.399 --> 00:11:14.559
It was all about the project, the scaffolding, the prompts, the agents, the models, the connectivity, the API endpoints, the MCP servers.
00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:15.840
That's all it was about.
00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:19.279
Because that's what that is what we need to work on these days.
00:11:19.440 --> 00:11:32.320
So I feel, and I love that actually Josh and Charles don't stop the recording and edit that bin out, but I actually do go, I'm so happy we're ran into this because this is something Microsoft should improve, and this is hard, and this is what it's like.
00:11:32.559 --> 00:11:35.679
So yes, thanks, Josh and Charles, for keeping it real, right?
00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:36.639
Yeah, very good.
00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:40.159
Looking forward to uh seeing you guys at now European Power Platform conference.
00:11:40.480 --> 00:11:47.919
And I think they have some sessions at uh experts live UK as well, which I know some of our friends are gonna be presenting and doing workshops and stuff too.
00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:49.120
So shout out to all of them.
00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:51.919
Other, another Josh who's actually he's based in Canada.
00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:58.320
I think it's Josh Cook, and he posts a lot on LinkedIn about using agents and AI and day-to-day work.
00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:02.960
It's almost his approach is very like, come on, everybody, are you not caught up yet?
00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:04.639
Like it's moving along, right?
00:12:04.720 --> 00:12:08.720
So kind of like almost shaming us into getting on top of this stuff.
00:12:08.960 --> 00:12:10.399
But he wrote a really interesting article.
00:12:10.480 --> 00:12:21.679
It's not even so much power platform related, but just going through the steps of going with through co-pilot uh with co-work actually, I think, and creating retro game from like the 1990s.
00:12:21.840 --> 00:12:30.799
And this is something that really touches like um me as well, because I love like the eight, like I grew up in the 80s, the 80s retro video games on the Commodore 64.
00:12:30.960 --> 00:12:36.720
Of course, I had friends with you know, Ataris and the Sega Genesis and you know, all of this cool stuff.
00:12:36.799 --> 00:12:44.080
So he goes through and even gets like co-pilot or uh chat GPT to create some of the images because that's a little bit stronger there.
00:12:44.240 --> 00:12:59.279
And it's just a really good, it's a really interesting read of just using AI to kind of um you know, kind of go through that process not only of learning, but also if there's a retro game or something, you can get a lot of these things, but there's all these little paywalls or upgrades, whatever.
00:12:59.440 --> 00:13:00.879
Just go build your own.
00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:02.399
Build your own retro game.
00:13:02.559 --> 00:13:05.440
If you don't want to pay for Tetris, pilot can build it for you now.
00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:05.919
Yeah.
00:13:06.240 --> 00:13:08.559
So, anyways, it was really good and interesting read.
00:13:08.639 --> 00:13:09.840
So, yeah, good work, Josh.
00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:16.320
And yeah, continue to continue to keep dragging us into the future with all the AI-related posts and cowork and everything else.
00:13:16.559 --> 00:13:16.720
Yeah.
00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:20.639
And this is, I think, also worth mentioning is this blog post.
00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:24.639
Because I think a lot of us do this, but we don't take the time to put it into a blog post.
00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:26.559
This is so short and to the point.
00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:31.519
They actually I could scroll through and actually read the thing end to end in a few minutes.
00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:32.960
And I got a lot out of it.
00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:35.200
And so he and also he sums it up really well.
00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:42.559
It's like the final result, it's one HML file, is about from 1500 lines along, and also his learnings along the way.
00:13:42.799 --> 00:13:46.639
The write me a prompt for Chat DP Claude is gold.
00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:52.000
That's really working really well for him, and he gets Chat DPT actually create this thing on the first go.
00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:54.000
It's like you don't even have to go back and iterate.
00:13:54.159 --> 00:13:57.600
That kind of work pattern is also something I've introduced to customers.
00:13:57.679 --> 00:14:04.559
And when we do courses on vibe coding, for instance, I'm like, I use chat DPT or Claude to create prompts for vibe the perhaps.com.
00:14:04.720 --> 00:14:06.879
I don't spend more time in there than I need to.
00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:10.240
And they're like, wow, that didn't even occur to me that you could do that.
00:14:10.480 --> 00:14:12.720
Like these AI things know about each other.
00:14:12.799 --> 00:14:13.600
It's like, uh-huh.
00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:14.000
Right.
00:14:14.159 --> 00:14:14.960
That's gold.
00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:21.120
And just small little nuggets like that is so important, and it adds to my workflow every time I see something like that.
00:14:21.440 --> 00:14:22.080
Yeah, absolutely.
00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:25.279
I'm constantly telling Claude, I said, I'm gonna do this in GitHub Copilot.
00:14:25.360 --> 00:14:26.240
Tell me the best way to do it.
00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:27.200
It doesn't care.
00:14:27.279 --> 00:14:28.240
It has no ego in the city.
00:14:29.840 --> 00:14:30.480
That doesn't matter.
00:14:30.799 --> 00:14:31.600
Will it be offended?
00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:35.759
It's like it's like, well, you can't.
00:14:36.320 --> 00:14:36.960
I can do that.
00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:38.240
I don't even mean to do it.
00:14:38.639 --> 00:14:41.600
Expecting it to kind of go, why would you use Chat GPT?
00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:42.559
I can do that.
00:14:42.799 --> 00:14:46.000
It's like funny, but it doesn't.
00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:48.080
It's like, yes, absolutely, no problem.
00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:49.840
I'll give you that to put in there.
00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:51.200
Yeah, no, it's funny.
00:14:51.279 --> 00:14:53.679
It's funny how we humanize these agents.
00:14:53.840 --> 00:14:54.639
Um, yeah.
00:14:55.840 --> 00:15:08.080
Okay, and then on the Claude uh code kind of theme, we also had a post from um Montan Petel, which was about kind of the Claude folder setup.
00:15:08.159 --> 00:15:10.720
Because this can kind of throw me a little bit, I must admit still.
00:15:10.879 --> 00:15:17.360
But it is the because I'm looking, I think the reason why this throws me a little bit is because I'm still looking for the right way to do it.
00:15:17.600 --> 00:15:19.919
And then every time I look somewhere, it's like different.
00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:21.360
Like there's beep.
00:15:21.600 --> 00:15:23.360
Can we just give me just this one?
00:15:23.519 --> 00:15:26.559
Can we just all agree that the folder structure should be like this?
00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:28.320
And then we all do it like that.
00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:31.919
But then I also get that you know, different requirements, it depends, etc.
00:15:32.399 --> 00:15:42.799
Um, so this is one way of structuring your folders for co-work, where you have agents and commands and hooks and rolls and skills and settings within a cloud folder wherever you need it.
00:15:42.879 --> 00:15:49.600
And that's gonna of course of course with the cloud MD is the first thing that Cloud Co reads it in any folder.
00:15:49.840 --> 00:15:55.600
So I think the most important thing that I've learned is that you have the Cloud MD at the top level over your folder structure.
00:15:55.919 --> 00:15:58.240
Cloud Co will always read that first.
00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:08.639
That can that can put kind of uh you could the only thing you need to have in there actually is where you have your instructions if you want to have your instructions somewhere else, but that is by default what it will read first.
00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:10.159
So that's good to know.
00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:11.279
Yeah.
00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:11.679
Yeah.
00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:14.960
No, it's still some I battle with too, because there's also context, right?
00:16:15.039 --> 00:16:19.759
Like if I'm working on a local project versus uh like our global settings is as well, right?
00:16:19.840 --> 00:16:27.039
Like I fought with what I was kind of struggling with last week and I did kind of I did sort of sort it out, but Dataverse MCP server, great.
00:16:27.120 --> 00:16:28.799
I set it up, it's cool, it's working.
00:16:28.960 --> 00:16:32.480
Then I start a completely different project, pointing to a completely different environment.
00:16:32.639 --> 00:16:34.159
I say, show me all the custom tables.
00:16:34.240 --> 00:16:37.679
And it's pulling the custom tables from the other Dataverse MCP server.
00:16:37.759 --> 00:16:39.759
And I'm like, no, no, no, no, don't use this one.
00:16:39.840 --> 00:16:41.120
Use the new one I set up.
00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:46.559
And then you have to put that into your instructions or your local what MCP servers to use and stuff like that.
00:16:46.720 --> 00:16:54.320
So it is uh it is good to see posts like this to help organize and get everything in the right context and for the right thing.
00:16:54.480 --> 00:16:58.559
So yeah, it's a great little uh and then next.
00:16:58.879 --> 00:16:59.919
Yeah, kind of the learning.
00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:02.000
Yeah, kind of the local versus the global.
00:17:02.080 --> 00:17:06.079
And it's like, well, the uh yeah, the MCP, does it have the credentials in it?
00:17:06.240 --> 00:17:08.640
Because the first time I saw that it was a Miro MCP.
00:17:08.720 --> 00:17:10.160
Do you want it to be global MCP?
00:17:10.240 --> 00:17:10.880
I'm like, yeah, sure.
00:17:10.960 --> 00:17:12.000
I want Miro everywhere.
00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:13.599
We use it for all of our projects, right?
00:17:13.839 --> 00:17:18.079
I didn't realize that it had the connectivity in it and that you need one for each.
00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:21.759
And I was like, oh, okay, but for Etero, we use the same one for a lot of customers.
00:17:21.839 --> 00:17:23.680
It's just kind of the pointer that is different.
00:17:23.839 --> 00:17:25.680
So then can I then have it as a global?
00:17:25.839 --> 00:17:32.160
And then how do I know which kind of um board to use in which so yeah, it is complicated, but we're getting there.
00:17:32.240 --> 00:17:44.400
Now actually, what I'm doing is I'm having two different GitHub accounts, two different Cloud, no, sorry, uh GitHub Copilot accounts, and I mix in codex and cloud code in my Visual Studio Code kind of window as well.
00:17:44.559 --> 00:17:46.079
So I'm like, I'm so dizzy.
00:17:46.240 --> 00:17:46.960
I'm so dizzy.
00:17:47.119 --> 00:17:48.960
But that's something I'll I'll sort that out.
00:17:49.359 --> 00:17:51.279
Yeah, it's it's an evolution, yeah, right.
00:17:51.359 --> 00:17:55.440
So you like I'm using Claude for some things, GitHub Copilot for others, and just yeah.
00:17:55.839 --> 00:18:04.319
And also now, because of the credits, I've already ran out on my business credits, my ETERA credits this month, and it's not gonna renew until June.
00:18:04.480 --> 00:18:06.319
So I'm like, oh, I have a private account somewhere.
00:18:06.559 --> 00:18:07.359
Oh, I'll switch to that.
00:18:07.440 --> 00:18:09.279
And then I switched my and I use that up.
00:18:09.440 --> 00:18:12.319
So now I'm on the the Etera Claude one now.
00:18:12.480 --> 00:18:22.319
And so I'm now going kind of sequentially until I ran out of and then probably I can start over at the beginning when I'm realizing I'm it's like streaming services at home.
00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:26.480
Like, you know, we have access to Netflix and Apple TV and Crave and all these other ones.
00:18:26.559 --> 00:18:28.319
And I'm like, okay, can we consolidate these?
00:18:28.400 --> 00:18:35.200
And I'm also then on the business side, I'm like, oh, I have a chat GPT subscription and a cloud subscription and a Microsoft 365.
00:18:35.599 --> 00:18:36.480
Can I consolidate these?
00:18:36.559 --> 00:18:38.720
Like, no, because I use this for this, I use that for that.
00:18:39.119 --> 00:18:39.920
Yes, exactly.
00:18:40.240 --> 00:18:41.279
It's all the same.
00:18:41.680 --> 00:18:42.559
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:18:42.799 --> 00:18:43.119
Cool.
00:18:43.279 --> 00:18:46.319
Yeah, and I also had the idea that it had to do with security as well.
00:18:46.480 --> 00:18:52.480
Because I mean, what don't want to use my private accounts for my customer stuff because I don't want to end up sending that to whatever it is, right?
00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:55.359
Or US or not or databases.
00:18:55.440 --> 00:18:56.960
But that of course has to do with the model.
00:18:57.119 --> 00:19:00.079
You send you even it doesn't matter which account you're using.
00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:06.319
If you're using a model which resides in a US database, the pixels, the data is gonna show up in a US database.
00:19:06.480 --> 00:19:14.640
And if your customer doesn't have that in their policy, then you doesn't matter which account you use, which is stuff I have to learn, which I'm like, should this should be obvious, but it's not.
00:19:14.799 --> 00:19:15.519
So I'm learning.
00:19:15.839 --> 00:19:19.359
So I I'm sure everybody is is in the same boat as all of us on this.
00:19:19.440 --> 00:19:21.920
So it's like, so don't this is our this is our way.
00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:25.279
It's okay to be overwhelmed by all this.
00:19:25.519 --> 00:19:27.279
Yeah, if you feel it too, then we're with you.
00:19:27.519 --> 00:19:28.559
Okay, let's move along.
00:19:28.720 --> 00:19:30.559
I saw something from uh Hudang today.
00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:33.519
Um he's also doing what we're doing.
00:19:35.519 --> 00:19:41.359
Yeah, no, no, he oh, I mean he here's another guy that's a bit of a machine, and like I think he's hit a few blocks along the way.
00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:48.160
He's kind of have like even posted, okay, I need to slow down a little bit, but then he steps on the gas again and and puts out some amazing content.
00:19:48.319 --> 00:19:51.759
Super like like friendly, great, great guy to chat with.
00:19:51.839 --> 00:19:54.319
Um, you know, he's he's always calm, right?
00:19:54.480 --> 00:19:56.559
Like, you know, like how's it going, Nick?
00:19:56.640 --> 00:19:57.680
You know, good to see you.
00:19:57.839 --> 00:20:01.279
Just you know, it's uh very very time of the world.
00:20:01.519 --> 00:20:04.640
Yeah, and and then he puts out this this content, which is amazing.
00:20:04.720 --> 00:20:15.680
So he's put together a Microsoft Copilot Studio, full course for beginners, uh going through an introduction, building your first agent, knowledge and grounding, agent actions, like the kind of all the steps too.
00:20:15.759 --> 00:20:23.039
So again, it's like, I mean, yeah, agent, like of course, we're huge fans of Agent Academy, but then also people learn differently and there's different styles.
00:20:23.119 --> 00:20:24.720
And again, this is another angle to it.
00:20:24.799 --> 00:20:28.480
Of course, Hooding is amazing in terms of for creating tutorial content.
00:20:28.640 --> 00:20:32.640
So it's great, another great resource for those that are just trying to get ramped up.
00:20:32.720 --> 00:20:35.119
And of course, that's just one of many tutorials.
00:20:35.279 --> 00:20:41.279
He has his Power Academy group as well, which I think there's there's like a free tier and then there's a paid subscription as well.
00:20:41.440 --> 00:20:48.000
And I definitely I think if you're if you're getting into it, well worth it uh based on what I've I've seen for his content and everything like that.
00:20:48.079 --> 00:20:55.599
So yeah, big shout out to Hooting, and um yeah, check definitely another great resource from the community to get you ramped up.
00:20:55.680 --> 00:20:57.680
And I think this one's a free, a free course too.
00:20:57.839 --> 00:20:59.119
So uh you can dive right in.
00:20:59.359 --> 00:20:59.599
Yep.
00:20:59.759 --> 00:21:01.440
And also Steve did the thing.
00:21:01.759 --> 00:21:02.480
Yeah, well, yeah.
00:21:02.559 --> 00:21:06.400
So Steve has been kind of uh we we haven't mentioned Steve Mordu in a long time.
00:21:06.559 --> 00:21:10.480
And sorry, Steve, we're still huge fans and you know, don't don't feel left out.
00:21:10.559 --> 00:21:12.480
It's just sort of a lot of other great stuff.
00:21:12.640 --> 00:21:15.440
Um, definitely a lot of posts on a lot of things around AI.
00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:17.279
Of course, Steve has his opinion on things.
00:21:17.440 --> 00:21:26.480
I think the latest I saw, there was an image of him having a beer with Satya and what Steve would tell Satya if they had a beer together, which is also a very interesting read.
00:21:26.640 --> 00:21:36.880
But this is, I mean, this ultimately is a paid product that Steve is working on, but it is sort of, I think, showing the future of where our business apps are going.
00:21:37.279 --> 00:21:53.279
And for those of you who know Steve's business side, he has something called Rapid CRM, which Rapid CRM or Rapid Start CRM, which was a kind of a much more small business approach using Dataverse and Power Platform as the back end, but creating a CRM on top of that.
00:21:53.440 --> 00:21:55.359
Of course, people are wanting to get it.
00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:00.640
Level.
00:22:00.720 --> 00:22:10.000
Steve's is much more the small, medium business level where you can get a basic CRM system with all the all the extra stuff you don't need kind of built into that.
00:22:10.079 --> 00:22:11.920
And is I, you know, been very successful.
00:22:12.000 --> 00:22:14.400
I know a lot of people that are out there implementing and using it.
00:22:14.480 --> 00:22:15.680
I'm very happy with it.
00:22:15.759 --> 00:22:21.039
Um of course, if you ever you do need to upgrade, there is an upgrade path to get to the Dynamics 365.
00:22:21.200 --> 00:22:23.759
He and his team have created something called Rapid Claw.
00:22:23.920 --> 00:22:42.160
Now we've talked about OpenClaw or yeah, yeah, OpenClaw a few weeks ago about this, you know, agent that basically just kind of reiterates like you basically you can set this up to talk to all your things, and it's just like assistant, you talk to it through a telegram or a WhatsApp, just send it commands, it goes through, it comes back with commands, it gives you your reminders.
00:22:42.319 --> 00:22:45.359
Now he's tied this into his CRM system.
00:22:45.519 --> 00:22:52.160
That's my understanding, where instead of you going into an app and okay, what are my opportunities or what leads am I working on?
00:22:52.319 --> 00:22:58.640
You just basically open up your phone and you just send a chat to uh Rapid Claw and say, What opportunities are we working on this week?
00:22:58.880 --> 00:22:59.359
Comes back.
00:22:59.440 --> 00:23:01.039
What's our revenue expected going to be?
00:23:01.200 --> 00:23:02.000
What are my tasks?
00:23:02.160 --> 00:23:04.240
And it's just going to interact with the CRM system.
00:23:04.319 --> 00:23:10.720
And it's what you kind of hear the words headless CRM, meaning you're not your CRM, you're not going through a user interface anymore.
00:23:10.799 --> 00:23:13.759
You're chatting with it through a chat bot and it's off doing its task.
00:23:13.839 --> 00:23:24.559
It has agents doing the thing, doing the calculations, kind of doing the trending, saying, hey, you should follow up on this particular opportunity because it's been a while, and you know, looking at the emails, the communications.
00:23:24.640 --> 00:23:37.839
So even if um it's just from a learning perspective, I think it's a very interesting thing to take a look at in terms of even the provisioning, how he's going about, how he's marketing it, how in fact it will spin up on your own Azure system.
00:23:37.920 --> 00:23:42.400
So it's kind of bring your own Azure and then this whole ecosystem can kind of built on top of that.
00:23:42.559 --> 00:23:48.000
So to me, it's like it's very interesting going forward in terms of where business apps are going.
00:23:48.079 --> 00:23:50.720
I think Steve's a few feet ahead of everybody else.
00:23:50.880 --> 00:23:56.400
I fully expect Microsoft to kind of follow along this path as well, of course, for their more higher enterprise systems.
00:23:56.559 --> 00:24:06.960
So it's yeah, um, definitely some gives you food for thought and also from our point of view as solution architects, probably changed, is gonna start changing the conversations we have with our customers.
00:24:07.119 --> 00:24:10.640
You know, I had a customer this week, they're talking about sending out mailings and things like that.
00:24:10.880 --> 00:24:14.799
Yeah, we can configure the front end or the app and make it a little bit easier for them.
00:24:14.880 --> 00:24:18.400
But I'm also like, this could be something we could get co-work to do as well.
00:24:18.559 --> 00:24:24.000
And with the MCP servers talking to our power apps, basically saying, hey, I need to do a mailing.
00:24:24.079 --> 00:24:25.599
It's only to a handful of people.
00:24:25.759 --> 00:24:27.599
Do we configure the system to do that?
00:24:27.680 --> 00:24:33.680
Or can we configure an agent and factored into Microsoft Cowork to go and do that and kind of interact that way?
00:24:33.759 --> 00:24:39.519
So yeah, definitely it's uh, I think showing the evolution of technology and business systems and where they're going.
00:24:39.599 --> 00:24:43.599
And and Steve is uh is a is a really very thoughtful on all of this too.
00:24:43.680 --> 00:24:51.519
So if you're not kind of following Steve on LinkedIn, sometimes even just for pure entertainment purposes, definitely uh give him a follow, read some of his articles.
00:24:51.680 --> 00:24:58.480
Like he talks about his another article coming up this last week about hourly billing, how or like Microsoft partners are going to be charging for their time.
00:24:58.559 --> 00:25:12.160
And that's something I'm pretty passionate about too, in terms of talking, and then with this is discussions we've had with uh, you know, Franco and Sarah's course, their extra life course and things like that, and kind of going forward with value-based billing and just how freelancers work.
00:25:12.240 --> 00:25:18.960
So that's a whole other business side, and we can go down a rabbit hole on that, but I'll sort of back back off because we have more community stuff to talk about.
00:25:19.119 --> 00:25:20.160
But uh yeah, check that out.
00:25:20.319 --> 00:25:20.960
Yeah, definitely.
00:25:21.039 --> 00:25:24.640
And Steve, like you said, he always he's he's tight with us, right?
00:25:24.720 --> 00:25:27.759
So it's not something that he just spins off of his own head.
00:25:27.839 --> 00:25:35.519
He's very tightly knit with the where where business is going, where Microsoft is taking their kind of their direction.
00:25:35.680 --> 00:25:37.519
And he also speaks to it in the blog post.
00:25:37.599 --> 00:25:41.359
He's like, where this meets Microsoft's direction, Microsoft's direction.
00:25:41.519 --> 00:25:54.880
And Microsoft is very much started from the personal productivity standpoint with Copilot and all the tools that come natively to us always start with you and your world first, and then you can extend it and explore it if you want.
00:25:55.039 --> 00:26:02.400
And this kind of meets uh that direction where it's at, where it's like this is from the business point of view, and you add it on top.
00:26:02.559 --> 00:26:05.920
So uh it's gonna be very interesting to see where this goes for sure.
00:26:06.160 --> 00:26:06.880
Sean did a thing.
00:26:07.039 --> 00:26:10.319
Yeah, let's okay, so let's uh okay, so Sean did a thing.
00:26:12.079 --> 00:26:15.039
You know and I go on.
00:26:15.519 --> 00:26:21.200
No, I was just I I'm loving Sean online these days because he's playing with LinkedIn so much.
00:26:21.359 --> 00:26:27.680
He has I see him try like kind of the Microsoft thing where we said you just throw spaghetti on the wall, see what sticks.
00:26:27.920 --> 00:26:29.839
Sean tries everything.
00:26:30.079 --> 00:26:31.200
And I love this.
00:26:31.440 --> 00:26:39.519
Now what he did is he just fixed the the the weary old uh email that you get in PowerAutomate.
00:26:39.759 --> 00:26:50.720
He uses clo a chat GPT, throws it in there, says fizz up, and then he throws the code back in, closes the editor, just sends it off, and of course the email comes through looking bright and shiny.
00:26:51.039 --> 00:26:52.480
And that's actually the whole thing.
00:26:52.720 --> 00:27:06.319
And of course, working with uh customer insights as long as I have, and with web development as long as I have, I know the struggle that is to create an email that goes through all of the different email clients out there look the same.
00:27:06.480 --> 00:27:10.559
You think that in in this day and in 2026, we would have solved that problem?
00:27:10.720 --> 00:27:11.759
No, we have not.
00:27:11.920 --> 00:27:18.559
So I love the idea of using AI for this because then you will actually be able to get code.
00:27:18.640 --> 00:27:20.799
You don't have to write all of the stuff yourself.
00:27:20.880 --> 00:27:32.480
It's something that looks good, but also passes through all the different uh email clients, for instance, in a little bit shorter time than to by trial and error as we had to do before.
00:27:32.720 --> 00:27:34.240
So great post, Sean.
00:27:34.480 --> 00:27:49.839
Yeah, what Sean's Sean, like I've I've been on some of his webinars and how he, of course, he has the the architect accelerator program as well, which I did last year and I have other uh um actually uh Bridget, my friend, my wife, actually was on the last cohort for his uh architect accelerator as well.
00:27:50.000 --> 00:27:58.720
And his approach, his he he has said this, and I think you've I've heard him say this before, is everything you do, try to see if AI can help you along the way.
00:27:58.799 --> 00:28:02.559
And this is a prime example of oh, that email screwed up.
00:28:02.640 --> 00:28:04.559
Well, hmm, what can AI do to help me out?
00:28:04.640 --> 00:28:05.359
And he goes through it.
00:28:05.440 --> 00:28:10.240
So there's so many little things that's helped me along as well, going, hmm, can I get AI to do this?
00:28:10.400 --> 00:28:10.960
Yeah, I can.
00:28:11.039 --> 00:28:12.000
Or can I get the Claude?
00:28:12.240 --> 00:28:17.920
Like he also got me on the Claude browser extension like a few months ago, and like, oh man, I'm using that thing all the time now.
00:28:18.160 --> 00:28:23.759
So yeah, definitely uh just yeah, again, another great uh resource to follow just to see his content.
00:28:23.839 --> 00:28:27.440
And of course, his uh he does do some free sessions and webinars and things like that.
00:28:27.680 --> 00:28:32.559
Of course, he does have his his paid program as well, but definitely another uh definitely good resource to follow along.
00:28:32.640 --> 00:28:34.000
And yeah, big shout out to Sean.
00:28:34.240 --> 00:28:34.880
Yes, definitely.
00:28:34.960 --> 00:28:38.720
And Sean Asterkin is who we're talking about, just to be very clear.
00:28:39.039 --> 00:28:40.799
We'll put the links in the show notes for sure.
00:28:40.960 --> 00:28:49.920
And moving on to someone else who we have mentioned a lot is Matthew Devaney had a new video this week showcasing the new workflow editor.
00:28:50.160 --> 00:28:59.920
Yeah, so this was something I saw a screenshot uh a month or two ago of what was going to be the new workflow editor and um in Copilot Studio for now they're called workflows.
00:29:00.000 --> 00:29:02.640
They were called agent flows before.
00:29:02.960 --> 00:29:03.119
Yeah.
00:29:03.440 --> 00:29:05.119
And you know, Microsoft renaming.
00:29:05.680 --> 00:29:10.240
You can actually still create agent flows for whatever reason that might be.
00:29:10.319 --> 00:29:10.480
Yes.
00:29:10.960 --> 00:29:15.279
So someone showed me a screenshot, and I'm like, oh, that is that N8N.
00:29:15.359 --> 00:29:19.519
So N8N is a is another competitor to Microsoft in terms of workflow.
00:29:19.680 --> 00:29:23.200
Uh I did a course last year which used N8N, and I'm like, this is really cool.
00:29:23.359 --> 00:29:25.920
You can drag itself sideways, you can have it rearranged.
00:29:26.079 --> 00:29:28.240
I was like, this is what Power Automate should be.
00:29:28.400 --> 00:29:36.799
Well, of course, Microsoft gets inspired, and now they've made their their editor uh much more kind of aligned to some of the other tools.
00:29:36.960 --> 00:29:42.559
Um yeah, and Matt does a 20-minute full demo on this, and there's a few other resources as well that I've seen.
00:29:42.720 --> 00:29:45.759
Of course, some Microsoft announcing this and a lot of other things.
00:29:45.839 --> 00:29:48.160
So yeah, definitely that's a video to check out.
00:29:48.240 --> 00:29:49.519
And then of course you can dive right.
00:29:49.599 --> 00:29:52.880
I think it's available now for everyone, so you should be able to dive in.
00:29:52.960 --> 00:29:58.720
I haven't tried it yet, but definitely gonna be that's definitely on my to-do list, which of course is as we all know, is massive.
00:29:58.799 --> 00:30:04.160
But uh, we do get to these things, especially if I can apply them to a project, then uh definitely I can dive in.
00:30:04.559 --> 00:30:06.240
But are you playing the guitar yet?
00:30:06.400 --> 00:30:07.200
That's what I'm wondering.
00:30:07.599 --> 00:30:08.000
Not yet.
00:30:08.240 --> 00:30:08.640
Not yet.
00:30:08.799 --> 00:30:09.039
Okay.
00:30:09.200 --> 00:30:11.119
Have you created the PCF component yet?
00:30:11.279 --> 00:30:13.599
No, we actually we we scratched that off the list.
00:30:13.759 --> 00:30:14.319
Yes, we did.
00:30:14.559 --> 00:30:16.720
A long story short, I do actually need to create it.
00:30:16.799 --> 00:30:31.519
I did write a plug-in the other day for I had to show a client how to do this, and PCF controls is actually on the list of things to go through, but not so much of the old traditional way, but using GitHub Copilot to actually create these things and some parameters around that.
00:30:31.599 --> 00:30:35.440
So yeah, that's probably gonna spill out into some community content over the summer.
00:30:35.599 --> 00:30:36.960
So stay tuned.
00:30:37.279 --> 00:30:38.000
Sounds good.
00:30:38.160 --> 00:30:44.559
And also, just because I I just remembered, I saw a post from Jonas Rap today talking about Andreas Adner.
00:30:44.880 --> 00:30:51.279
He got some help and now he has released the new version of the X-Rub Tool um fetch XML builder.
00:30:51.519 --> 00:31:09.680
So if you were looking for it, Jonas is actually now diving into AI work and he's getting help from AI to do the TD's release notes for him, and he has now created a new release, so we will make sure to get that in the show notes as well, which um kind of don't really have the best uh Jonas wrap here for me to remember.
00:31:10.000 --> 00:31:10.559
Uh okay.
00:31:10.799 --> 00:31:19.440
So um, but yeah, the the new uh workflow, and also we have to get familiar with the new uh flow flow workflow designer.
00:31:19.759 --> 00:31:20.240
Yes.
00:31:20.559 --> 00:31:28.400
Because it's part of the curriculum for uh Agent Academy, which you're doing a workshop in EDPC for this is how we learn things.
00:31:28.559 --> 00:31:49.599
We have something we actually tangibly have to do, whether it's delivering a workshop, delivering uh information for a client, doing project with this is the best way to learn is to buy to teach, or you have a have to do it because, as opposed to the, well, it'd be nice to learn, you know, maybe I need to sign up to do a do a concert with a guitar maybe a year from now or something, and that would force me, right?
00:31:49.839 --> 00:31:51.440
That will force you, absolutely.
00:31:51.680 --> 00:31:55.839
Yeah, you know what usually you guys play learn to play the guitar for is to get all the girls.
00:31:55.920 --> 00:31:58.880
But you already have the have the girls, so kind of what incentive is there?
00:31:58.960 --> 00:32:04.880
It's like yeah, sitting in your camper when then when you're on your own and playing the guitars sounds very good.
00:32:05.039 --> 00:32:05.200
Yes.
00:32:05.440 --> 00:32:08.160
Okay, so next I just saw something I wanted to mention.
00:32:08.240 --> 00:32:17.039
I have not tried it and I don't believe in it, but par automate desktop flows will now have finally have the self-healing capability.
00:32:17.279 --> 00:32:20.160
You remember we talked about this like two and a half years ago?
00:32:20.480 --> 00:32:20.880
Yep.
00:32:21.119 --> 00:32:22.799
Yes, it's finally coming.
00:32:22.960 --> 00:32:38.079
Woohoo! So uh you because you know you have a uh desktop flow that in you record a session and it knows everything about the web app and the UI and where the button is, and suddenly in the HMAI the button moves, it now will be able to on its own see that this is what's happened.
00:32:38.160 --> 00:32:38.799
This is the error.
00:32:38.960 --> 00:32:42.240
Is it because there's a UI change and run the thing again?
00:32:42.400 --> 00:32:53.039
And that's the also if you want to try this out, read the blog post first because the areas of which this does not work is longer than the list of where it does work.
00:32:53.279 --> 00:32:54.160
Let's put it like that.
00:32:54.240 --> 00:32:56.880
So just make sure you go in and you read through it.
00:32:58.240 --> 00:32:58.720
Cool.
00:33:02.720 --> 00:33:10.559
So and also some something else which I love and I need to mention, because you know how generative pages is very all very cool.
00:33:10.720 --> 00:33:25.839
Uh you have a model-driven app, and then you can navigate to a page, and that can be a generative page, and it looks so cool and slick, but it has no idea that it's in a model-driven app, and it has no idea of where you are or what you're doing or what it's doing there, because it has no context.
00:33:26.000 --> 00:33:27.519
Now you can give it that context.
00:33:27.599 --> 00:33:34.799
So finally, you can navigate to and from generative pages in your client API, which means you can also send it parameters and data.
00:33:34.960 --> 00:33:44.720
So now you will be able to give your generative page some context for where it's at and what surrounds it, and and kind of the give it some a map, if you will.
00:33:45.039 --> 00:33:46.160
Which I absolutely love.
00:33:46.400 --> 00:33:59.359
Yeah, because I think there was some there was some workarounds to do that, but I to be honest, uh I have a few generative pages of my stuff, and it's still the page, you still have to do the drop down to pick the record to get the context of, like, which is really hacky.
00:33:59.440 --> 00:34:05.920
So it this is this is great because this makes it much more natural in terms of the user interface and that kind of thing.
00:34:06.000 --> 00:34:08.239
So yeah, definitely gonna be diving in and checking it out.
00:34:08.320 --> 00:34:12.960
I had to do a generative page over the last week, and yeah, it was conking out on me.
00:34:13.039 --> 00:34:14.719
I had to keep changing my prompt a little bit.
00:34:14.800 --> 00:34:21.599
And I think I was trying to do a rich text editor built into my generative page and it didn't like it and it kept failing.
00:34:21.760 --> 00:34:24.079
So once I took out that parameter, it got to work.
00:34:24.159 --> 00:34:26.400
So generative pages has come a long way.
00:34:26.559 --> 00:34:32.159
I think it still needs a little bit more to get fully what where we where we would really do amazing things.
00:34:32.320 --> 00:34:40.320
But still, definitely is if it's if you've not tried generative pages yet, definitely do it because I think it's it's just gonna give your model-driven apps a really big pop.
00:34:40.400 --> 00:34:47.119
And actually, I did demo a generative page to one of my customers who have been using CRM since 2006.
00:34:47.280 --> 00:34:55.679
They were one of my very first installs, so 20 years, and of course, they fought with like marketing lists and trying to do the email templates and the whole workarounds.
00:34:55.760 --> 00:35:01.360
And then I showed them a generative page of to help them kind of manage the process, and they were like, this is what we always wanted.
00:35:01.440 --> 00:35:02.239
This is so cool.
00:35:02.400 --> 00:35:03.840
Like, why couldn't we have this before?
00:35:04.000 --> 00:35:05.519
Like, we because we couldn't do it before.
00:35:05.760 --> 00:35:06.079
Yeah.
00:35:06.239 --> 00:35:07.599
So that's fantastic.
00:35:07.760 --> 00:35:11.440
I love those stories where you get that excitement and actually, and you know what?
00:35:11.599 --> 00:35:16.800
What's weird about it is that CRM solutions from back then, they kind of just still run.
00:35:16.960 --> 00:35:23.920
And they kind of just still run as they were built because there was no interruption, there was no disruption from then to now.
00:35:24.079 --> 00:35:30.320
So if you just left it alone, it actually still works, which is a bit kind of I like it, but then also I don't know.
00:35:30.480 --> 00:35:34.559
Yeah, because you look at those old workarounds you used to do, like, why did we do it that way?
00:35:34.719 --> 00:35:37.440
Oh, yeah, because Power Automate didn't exist back then.
00:35:37.760 --> 00:35:38.480
You know, stuff like that.
00:35:39.039 --> 00:35:39.280
I know.
00:35:39.360 --> 00:35:40.400
Yeah, it's so crazy.
00:35:40.639 --> 00:35:48.800
And then something that also is not gonna exist for much longer is the COE starter kit that the um PowerCat team has been maintaining.
00:35:48.960 --> 00:35:55.199
So if you didn't catch us last time, I just wanted to reiterate the fact that the COE starter kit will no longer be maintained.
00:35:55.280 --> 00:36:00.719
So if you are using that and you're relying on Microsoft to support it, then you have to look uh elsewhere.
00:36:00.880 --> 00:36:13.280
And the elsewhere is a PowerPlatform admin center, or famously known as P Pac, which one of my colleagues just very sweetly came up to me the other day and said, You said P Pac like 15 times today.
00:36:13.440 --> 00:36:15.199
And I really wish I knew what it was.
00:36:15.360 --> 00:36:17.440
And I was like, sorry, sorry.
00:36:17.519 --> 00:36:19.280
It's just that's because that's what you do.
00:36:19.360 --> 00:36:20.880
This is just a language that you adopt.
00:36:20.960 --> 00:36:27.440
And then you talk to someone that doesn't really know PowerPlatform that well, and she's like, she's she'd been wrecking her brain for the whole day.
00:36:27.599 --> 00:36:28.880
Like, what is the P Pak?
00:36:29.199 --> 00:36:32.400
And then I explained it, and she was like, Oh, of course now it all makes sense.
00:36:32.880 --> 00:36:34.960
It's like uh it's like Jen and the IT crowd.
00:36:35.039 --> 00:36:36.880
So what does IT stand for?
00:36:37.440 --> 00:36:38.559
I love it, I love it.
00:36:38.719 --> 00:36:39.280
Yeah, I love it.
00:36:39.440 --> 00:36:40.800
So what does IT stand of?
00:36:41.039 --> 00:36:55.360
No, but actually what brought me onto this was I have another resource from the PowerCat team because they're not maintaining COE Starter Kit anymore because they have other things to do, as for instance to create skills and plugins for Power Platform.
00:36:55.519 --> 00:37:03.039
And they have now released a new set of plugins called PowerCat uh Canvas app plugins, which have uh there are three different skills now.
00:37:03.199 --> 00:37:11.199
One for analyzing canvas performance, which is really cool, one from for into infopath, from infopath to canvas.
00:37:11.360 --> 00:37:11.599
I know.
00:37:13.039 --> 00:37:21.519
My mind was like, wait, wait, the time way back machine just needs to Infopath was like when I worked with SharePoint on-prem like a bazillion years ago.
00:37:21.840 --> 00:37:24.880
For whatever reason, people still need to move away from Infopath.
00:37:25.119 --> 00:37:30.159
So now the PowerCat team has a tool that you can use to move from Infopath to Canvas.
00:37:30.320 --> 00:37:32.639
I'm not sure if Canvas is the right destination.
00:37:32.719 --> 00:37:36.159
So something you have to go, well, also Canvas app to something else.
00:37:36.239 --> 00:37:37.360
But that's a whole different story.
00:37:38.880 --> 00:37:39.199
Maybe.
00:37:39.360 --> 00:37:40.800
So that's the next, I don't know.
00:37:40.880 --> 00:37:44.719
Uh and also uh migrate to Dataverse, it which is the third one.
00:37:44.960 --> 00:37:51.039
So just wanted to, and also I saw one of my uh good friends uh in there ha has the initial commit, which is really good.
00:37:51.119 --> 00:37:54.000
So Kirosia Ru Santos, very well done.
00:37:54.079 --> 00:37:58.719
I love having uh good friends in high places, so that's just uh for me to feel very cool.
00:37:58.880 --> 00:37:59.679
So that's really cool.
00:37:59.840 --> 00:38:03.119
So just check it out and uh and adopt it as soon as you can.
00:38:03.440 --> 00:38:12.639
Yeah, like I've been trying out the dativer skills and the and the solution architect skills and just sort of of course using um the the skills to create uh power pages sites.
00:38:12.880 --> 00:38:18.719
Actually, I've got Claude been cooking for three days on something that I'll talk about later um using those skills.
00:38:18.880 --> 00:38:21.039
It's a it's a it's amazing, all of these things.
00:38:21.119 --> 00:38:27.519
And then the fact that these skills aren't these black boxes, they're not DLLs or plugins, just they're markdown files.
00:38:27.840 --> 00:38:30.159
Like I lived and breathed markdown for two years.
00:38:30.320 --> 00:38:44.880
So I I'm like, I this is so readable, and you can create it, you can edit it, and then even your agents can update these these markdown files on their own when you kind of give them permission and you like you keep memory of what you've been doing, and it just yeah, anyways, we could do a whole other session on markdown.
00:38:45.199 --> 00:38:47.119
I know it just feels like home.
00:38:47.199 --> 00:38:47.920
It I love it.
00:38:48.000 --> 00:38:49.199
It's so easy to add up.
00:38:49.360 --> 00:38:52.159
I mean, and and also, so I have a colleague, his name is a skill.
00:38:52.320 --> 00:38:53.519
Shout out to Steag Arc.
00:38:53.679 --> 00:38:56.960
He showed me the other side, oh, I've been cooking this little, I need to just need to show you something.
00:38:57.039 --> 00:38:58.800
And I'm like, okay, between meetings.
00:38:58.880 --> 00:39:00.320
He's like, oh, can I just show you this?
00:39:00.400 --> 00:39:04.400
And then he breaks up a website called uh Steag's AI Brain.
00:39:04.480 --> 00:39:05.920
I'm like, what did you do?
00:39:06.079 --> 00:39:08.000
He's like, I I created an AI brain.
00:39:08.239 --> 00:39:09.199
What did it do?
00:39:09.280 --> 00:39:12.239
It's like this website is just for me to show off what I've done.
00:39:12.320 --> 00:39:20.559
But actually, what it does is it keeps track of all his agents, all his plug-in, all his skills, where he found them, how to update them, goes and grabs the repos often.
00:39:20.800 --> 00:39:24.559
He has a whole file structure so whenever he needs it, he can just pull forever it is.
00:39:24.639 --> 00:39:26.320
And then also he has initiators.
00:39:26.480 --> 00:39:35.360
If he's starting a new PowerPages project, he just initiates a new PowerPages project, grabs all the things he needs, and the Playwright MCP, the Dataverse MCP, the PowerPages plugins.
00:39:35.519 --> 00:39:37.840
It's just, I'm just it's just my mind.
00:39:37.920 --> 00:39:39.519
And it's like all MD files.
00:39:39.840 --> 00:39:41.360
Like what the fuck?
00:39:41.519 --> 00:39:42.400
It's so cool.
00:39:42.559 --> 00:39:52.719
And then he had a zilographics, and it was just because it showed a whole kind of node system of how all the different things were linked together, which actually looked like a freaking brain.
00:39:52.960 --> 00:40:00.239
And when he hovered over the Power Pages project, the the items connected to a project like this lit up in the brain.
00:40:00.559 --> 00:40:04.079
I was just that's so cool.
00:40:04.239 --> 00:40:05.119
So shout out.
00:40:05.360 --> 00:40:17.679
But also, to your point, there is help to be had because we now have the new Agentic Administration Power Dataverse admin skills now available in public preview announced on May 12th.
00:40:17.920 --> 00:40:25.199
Yeah, and I I took a look at this about, you know, and this is where we talk about PPAC, like, oh yeah, just go into PPAC and do this, or go into PPAC.
00:40:25.280 --> 00:40:29.679
And then, but now this is a way, like again, I I've I've mentioned this other places.
00:40:29.840 --> 00:40:33.840
I'm spending more and more time in Visual Studio Code or or quad code or these things.
00:40:34.000 --> 00:40:37.519
You now have this, you know, these admin skills that you can put in.
00:40:37.599 --> 00:40:42.000
And then yeah, now instead of going to PPAC, it can go do these things for you.
00:40:42.159 --> 00:40:48.159
Now, of course, I've seen some people say, yeah, but admins are also very it has to be very deterministic as well.
00:40:48.239 --> 00:40:49.599
So they'll use scripts.
00:40:49.679 --> 00:40:59.840
But I also see this if you're more of a script person, this could probably help you create your scripts if you're a little bit more control freak, which is not a bad thing for an administrator.
00:41:00.000 --> 00:41:12.480
So um, regardless of sort of where your where your mind goes in terms of your your comfort level, this is still going to be really an amazing resource because it's this, yes, I want to, I don't want to go to PPAC and click these three things.
00:41:12.639 --> 00:41:14.400
I do need to write a script to do it.
00:41:14.559 --> 00:41:19.119
Here's the skill, so I can get AI to do it, but I don't quite trust AI.
00:41:19.360 --> 00:41:30.079
So maybe I can get AI to say, write me a script to that I can review to go through and do the thing, like you know, turn on an MCP server or configure something, something, or you know what I mean?
00:41:30.239 --> 00:41:32.559
So yeah, it's definitely it's it looks really, really cool.
00:41:32.639 --> 00:41:34.800
And uh definitely uh this is something I'm definitely gonna use.
00:41:34.960 --> 00:41:50.239
Yeah, and I also think to your point that in so what you're talking about is infrastructure as code in PowerPlatform, which we've, you know, it it's been a thing for a while, and all the new advancements that we've seen and talked about over the last year has all been moving in that direction.
00:41:50.480 --> 00:42:06.559
Where we kind of at some point, I think we can go back into the recording syntax, we kind of go, well, at we're at what point don't you need PAC anymore, the visual interface, because actually the the supporting infrastructure behind it now and this through the CLI is actually now more powerful.
00:42:06.719 --> 00:42:08.719
And we we see the results here.
00:42:08.960 --> 00:42:20.480
Because what this is, is it's not to replace the scripts that help you book or set up or do the infrastructure as code that you need to set it up the same way every time for you to manage it.
00:42:20.800 --> 00:42:26.800
This is for management, maintenance, book, delete, long-term retention, and capacity management.
00:42:27.039 --> 00:42:29.280
This is what's coming and this is what's available.
00:42:29.440 --> 00:42:41.199
So it says here settings management, read and update 37 uh allow listed power platform admin centered toggles across environments MCP, audit, retention, recycle, then search, bada da da da da da da.
00:42:41.519 --> 00:42:47.599
So it's still very kind of specific what it is that you can do and cannot do, and capacity management is coming soon.
00:42:47.840 --> 00:42:54.239
So imagine having the ability, like I said, not having to go through VPAC to look through everything, but just to ask it questions.
00:42:54.400 --> 00:42:58.559
Show me what our capacity is like, show me what we have enabled and not.
00:42:58.880 --> 00:43:05.599
Give me a rundown of all the AI capabilities that we have enabled and give me that as a report across all the environments.
00:43:05.760 --> 00:43:08.719
Now we're talking replacing COE.
00:43:08.880 --> 00:43:17.920
Now we're talking advanced capabilities that we have without setting up all the reports and all the flows and all the apps to get us to be able to do it.
00:43:18.159 --> 00:43:21.599
We can get it right in the conversation with the agent that we are using.
00:43:21.920 --> 00:43:38.880
And then take that a step further, use Microsoft, something like Microsoft Cowork to say, create me a dashboard that talks to these that that uses this interface and give me a dashboard of my system performance or my capacity and send that to me on a daily basis, or if there's thresholds being reached, you know, do that.
00:43:39.519 --> 00:43:40.079
There you go.
00:43:40.320 --> 00:43:41.119
That's the upside.
00:43:41.519 --> 00:43:42.480
Yeah, pieces are coming together.
00:43:42.880 --> 00:43:43.360
Monitoring.
00:43:43.519 --> 00:43:52.559
Imagine having then a set of agents monitoring all your customers, for instance, if you're a vendor like or a partner like us, and to kind of always just give you the green light or if something's off.
00:43:52.719 --> 00:43:59.599
There is a COD code plugin and there's a uh GitHub co pilot based code plugin for you to use um for you to access.
00:44:00.400 --> 00:44:01.440
So this is really cool.
00:44:01.519 --> 00:44:05.280
This is one of those game changer thingies that actually changed the directory.
00:44:05.440 --> 00:44:08.800
Because we have a roadshow coming up because COEs deprecated.
00:44:08.880 --> 00:44:12.880
We need to get all of our customers on board into this new way of working with PPAC.
00:44:13.039 --> 00:44:15.840
And I see this and I'm like, you know the whole plan that we made?
00:44:16.079 --> 00:44:17.679
Let's move in this direction instead.
00:44:17.840 --> 00:44:20.639
Because that this is what we need to be doing going forward, right?
00:44:20.800 --> 00:44:23.039
So, and by the way, the developers, they love it.
00:44:23.199 --> 00:44:26.480
So maybe the admin people are scared, but the devs love it.
00:44:26.559 --> 00:44:26.719
Yeah.
00:44:26.880 --> 00:44:32.320
It just takes that t like, you know, you gotta love it if you can take that tedious out of your work and allow you to be more creative.
00:44:32.480 --> 00:44:35.519
And this is this is with with all of these things coming together.
00:44:35.599 --> 00:44:36.400
Like it's interesting.
00:44:36.480 --> 00:44:43.119
I ran into a buddy of mine yesterday in the store, uh, uh Ian Johns, shout out to Ian because I know he listens every so often.
00:44:43.199 --> 00:44:46.000
But he was saying, like, you know, how's you know how things will work?
00:44:46.079 --> 00:44:49.679
And I was like, it's great because we're I'm able to be much more creative.
00:44:50.079 --> 00:45:01.679
And he's like, Me too, because working with like Claude and GitHub, Copilot and all these things, he's like, you know, he's like, uh getting, you know, getting uh getting the agents to kind of write this code and I can spend more time on the creative parts.
00:45:01.760 --> 00:45:02.960
And I feel the same way.
00:45:03.039 --> 00:45:04.960
And I think you and I have discussed this a little bit too.
00:45:05.039 --> 00:45:10.800
It's like, I think before, maybe last year, a little bit, okay, this is overwhelming, all of this stuff, and is our job changing?
00:45:10.880 --> 00:45:28.480
And it's like, yeah, but it's like, okay, this is this is this is cool where everything's going, and and we still feel very valued because it's sort of like we're realizing as smart as AI is how stupid it is, and so how we need to guide it, direct it, give it its direction, um, and use it collaboratively like a tool.
00:45:28.639 --> 00:45:36.159
So, like all of these things, like you know, with the you know, the the the the code development tools, the reviewing, the documentation, the administration.
00:45:36.320 --> 00:45:45.360
Um, and it's just taking a lot of that boring, tedious work out of it and allowing us to use the the the fun part of our brain this together and coming up with really cool solutions.
00:45:45.519 --> 00:45:52.079
And it appeals to my impatient side of coming to cool solutions a lot quicker than it would have normally.
00:45:52.320 --> 00:45:53.119
Well, yeah, definitely.
00:45:53.360 --> 00:45:59.599
I also saw a video from Scott Houselman about choosing the right thing to work on is now becoming uh harder.
00:45:59.760 --> 00:46:02.960
He has a thousand agents working on 126 projects.
00:46:03.119 --> 00:46:12.159
It's like, how do I choose what I and it's not just about the most pressing thing, but also because that's not so pressing anymore, because you'll get to it in a minute.
00:46:12.320 --> 00:46:17.760
But also, what am I, how was my body feeling and what can I deal with at this moment?
00:46:17.920 --> 00:46:20.000
Do I want to do some triaging?
00:46:20.079 --> 00:46:21.440
Do I want to do some error handling?
00:46:21.519 --> 00:46:23.039
Do I want to do some documentation?
00:46:23.119 --> 00:46:24.719
Do it with an architecture work?
00:46:24.880 --> 00:46:25.840
Where is my brain at?
00:46:25.920 --> 00:46:27.280
Where's my energy level at?
00:46:27.440 --> 00:46:31.599
Where is what am I can I learn now, or do I need to exert?
00:46:31.760 --> 00:46:40.559
Maybe we can take this opportunity to kind of check in more with where we are and what it is that our energy level afforded us to do, and then choose the right work for that.
00:46:40.719 --> 00:46:42.480
Suddenly, that's kind of quite cool.
00:46:42.719 --> 00:46:44.639
I saw a link in here that I can't really open.
00:46:44.719 --> 00:46:47.280
It's a LinkedIn link, but that's fine.
00:46:47.360 --> 00:46:52.159
And then I see a C we started kit link, which we've already talked about about C Wee going away.
00:46:52.320 --> 00:46:54.079
But then you have a promo.
00:46:54.320 --> 00:47:02.400
Well, yeah, I actually talked to someone in Germany, Mirko Peters, who has a podcast as well, where he talked to different people in the in the community.
00:47:02.559 --> 00:47:09.760
We had an interesting chat, and he turned this around quick because we chatted Friday morning and he he put it out, I think yesterday or even the Saturday.
00:47:09.920 --> 00:47:21.440
It was like it's an audio conversation, but just talking about it was with me and just sort of I talked a little bit about a lot of things we talked about all the time about the future of the HIIT development and how I kind of work and how I see things going.
00:47:21.519 --> 00:47:26.719
And I made some predictions and we kind of joked about okay, we got a tech touch base in a year to see if my predictions were right.
00:47:26.880 --> 00:47:32.639
So if you're not sick of hearing my voice, you can check that out in my conversation with Mirko, which was yeah, a lot of fun.
00:47:32.719 --> 00:47:35.920
Mirko's based in Germany, and uh yeah, we had a good little chat there.
00:47:36.159 --> 00:47:38.800
Again, self-same shameless self-promotion.
00:47:39.360 --> 00:47:39.760
I love it.
00:47:39.840 --> 00:47:44.239
But actually, the fact is I opened this up and I didn't realize that it was you.
00:47:44.320 --> 00:47:46.880
So this is a very good case of AI slap.
00:47:47.280 --> 00:47:52.800
I'm sorry, Mirko, but this you have to do again because that picture does not look like you.
00:47:53.119 --> 00:47:54.480
So I didn't catch that.
00:47:54.559 --> 00:48:00.480
This was give me hate so far.
00:48:00.639 --> 00:48:05.199
And I cause I try to use AI to edit you and it's impossible because it doesn't look like you.
00:48:05.440 --> 00:48:06.719
So he has to do that again.
00:48:06.880 --> 00:48:08.000
He has to do it properly.
00:48:08.159 --> 00:48:09.280
So yeah, sorry, dude.
00:48:09.519 --> 00:48:09.679
Okay.
00:48:09.920 --> 00:48:17.119
But it's fun, and I I'll of course I'll listen to it because now that I know that it's you, I uh definitely and uh maybe some of it will be familiar to me.
00:48:17.440 --> 00:48:26.239
But I always like hearing your thoughts about this, and I love the bringing the thought leadership to the table and spreading it out because even though you we talk about this a lot on the post, we don't reach everyone.
00:48:26.400 --> 00:48:29.039
So this is a good opportunity to kind of get it out there.
00:48:29.119 --> 00:48:31.679
So I I do see the value in that.
00:48:32.000 --> 00:48:32.400
Cool.
00:48:32.960 --> 00:48:36.719
Can I just close out with two little uh community shout-outs as well?
00:48:36.960 --> 00:48:37.840
Absolutely, yes.
00:48:38.000 --> 00:48:40.320
So, first of all, do you see this little guy right here?
00:48:40.480 --> 00:48:41.599
No, I see or maybe yeah.
00:48:44.079 --> 00:48:44.960
Little down there.
00:48:45.119 --> 00:48:47.119
Um, and this is from Sandra Keo.
00:48:47.280 --> 00:48:48.639
I I saw her in Tallinn.
00:48:48.800 --> 00:48:49.679
She gave me this lamp.
00:48:49.840 --> 00:48:53.840
It's uh it's a Minecraft pig lamp and actually this light up, which is really sweet.
00:48:53.920 --> 00:48:59.199
And you know, my son is uh no, it's run out of batteries because it's been in my son's room forever.
00:48:59.440 --> 00:49:07.119
And then or since then, he's now in the phase where he will gift his things that I gifted to him back to me because he's very appreciative.
00:49:07.280 --> 00:49:11.280
So he's in his appreciative phase where he gives me his things all the time.
00:49:11.440 --> 00:49:13.679
So it's now back in my room and I love it.
00:49:13.760 --> 00:49:15.840
But it's really sweet, and thank you so much for the gift.
00:49:15.920 --> 00:49:16.559
It was really cool.
00:49:16.719 --> 00:49:18.960
And also, I have my peepaker.
00:49:20.559 --> 00:49:22.960
I was in pee peapac too many times.
00:49:23.360 --> 00:49:23.599
Yeah.
00:49:24.480 --> 00:49:27.599
How many times in an episode can you say peepak?
00:49:27.920 --> 00:49:30.639
PPCC 2025 t-shirt.
00:49:30.719 --> 00:49:36.719
And this has been in the mail from EY Coleman in the UK three times and come back.
00:49:37.199 --> 00:49:40.800
It's not cheap to send email with you know.
00:49:41.039 --> 00:49:42.159
So thank you, EY.
00:49:42.400 --> 00:49:43.360
And finally I got here.
00:49:43.440 --> 00:49:48.159
So I just needed to shout out to EY for being persistent in sending me these t-shirts.
00:49:48.320 --> 00:49:49.039
So thank you so much.
00:49:49.199 --> 00:49:52.880
And with that, I think we're gonna close off next episode will be June 3rd.
00:49:53.039 --> 00:49:53.199
Yep.
00:49:53.280 --> 00:49:58.800
Yep, the day after the deadline for the Agent Academy uh hackathon uh money thingy.
00:49:58.960 --> 00:49:59.119
Yep.
00:49:59.280 --> 00:50:03.599
We'll uh so hopefully see a few of you in uh Dynamics Minds next week.
00:50:03.679 --> 00:50:11.280
Um I'm heading out there uh this weekend, uh two sessions, uh should be a lot of fun and uh yeah, it'll be uh a good time.
00:50:11.360 --> 00:50:15.039

So looking forward to it.
00:50:21.840 --> 00:50:24.800

Perfect.
00:50:25.599 --> 00:50:26.239
