It's one of the TLAs that gives me shivers, and I'd rather stay away from it. But the corporations do love it - almost as much as they love Workday - so deal with it we must! I'd also normally post my articles on Tuesdays - but this one was so painful to finish that it'll roll out when it's done.

  M365 Skills are all over the place again - what's good?

  This article explains the weird history of the M365 Skills offering, which has been renamed and rebranded more times than I can count. If you want the TL;DR - skip the history and jump to the "What do you need to know about People Skills in M365?" section.

  CollabDays Finland 2025 was great - get the slides and demos here!

  CollabDays Finland/Helsinki was last week, and boy was it an interesting trip! I feel super fortunate having the opportunity to do some fun traveling for work, and the privilege to speak and meet people at these community events. I was presenting a session with Gautam Sheth, an old friend from the fabled Valo days. We talked about our experiences (and challenges) with the M365 Agents SDK, and how to build M365 Copilot extensions with it.

  There are a lot of ways SSO can break for your bot or agent on Teams/M365 Copilot/any other M365 app. I don't even know how to explain the extensibility in M365 now, so this word salad is what you get. Anyway in this article, I'll explain how to fix one of the possible ways your setup might be broken. Background I've been working on and off with M365 Agents SDK (and Teams Toolkit before) for a while now, and have some strong opinions about it.
