Recording From The Conference Corner

Ulrikke

And it's always when we uh record these episodes, we find the outermost corner of the conference so that we can have some peace and quiet. But something always happens. So now a big group have decided to have a party next to us. So they just kind of saw us doing this recording and then they decided to sit right here and drink and and talk. Not at all. So that's okay. Okay. Here we are. Here we are together again. Yes.

Nick

We are at one of our uh together episodes.

Ulrikke

I feel like it's like half and half at this point.

Nick

Yeah, exactly.

Ulrikke

And I'm loving it. Yeah, me too. Having so much fun. Yep. So we are at EPPC, European Power Platform Conference in Copenhagen, Denmark.

SPEAKER_02

Yep.

Ulrikke

Um we are at the end of day one. Uh so for us to be able to get this out for you guys, uh, we wanted to do a recap now, but it's because we also had a workshop day yesterday.

Nick

Yeah.

Ulrikke

So do you want to dive into that first?

Nick

Yeah. I mean, we could talk about the weather, but I think we can just sum it up by going, it's hot. It's and it's probably hot where you are too. It's hot everywhere.

Ulrikke

Hot everywhere. And it's we're sweating and we're learning, and it's yeah, it's a lot of fun.

Nick

Right.

The Workshop And The Copilot Rebuild

Nick

So let's talk about the whole the co-pilot studio recruit or agent academy recruit batch. Now I know a lot of you have done this online. We've had a group of you in Hamburg. Uh we went through this about a few, I feel a few weeks ago, which pretty much really was. And then we were gonna do it here at EPPC. We were excited about it. We were we we knew we had a lot of signups and then court. And then Microsoft Build happened.

unknown

Yeah.

Nick

And then they gave the announcement. Oh, there is a whole new co-pilot studio experience. Now, you and I have lived through product changes before. You know, new P Pack, you know, the the the interface might change on a few things, and usually that means, yeah, they might move a few things around, they might change the colors, of course, change the update the icons, yeah, all this stuff. Smart and modern. Right. So I think you and I were like, okay, no problem. We'll go through the Recruit Academy and then we'll just go through it and just kind of tell the people hey, this changed, this menu item moved up here. Yeah, we're gonna be fine. We're gonna be fine. And then we dove in and realized they didn't just update Copilot Studio, they blew it up and rebuilt it from ground up.

Ulrikke

Definitely. We talked about this in the last episode as well. The new mental model, the things that the, you know, the actually not just um what you can, but the building blocks have changed and been more and they're now they're more aligned with the coding agents that we normally use with scales and connections, and it kind of feels more aligned with whatever else we're using.

Nick

Yeah, and and don't get us wrong, it's it's amazing. I love the new interface.

Ulrikke

It it takes the product to another level. It's what Coca-Cola Studio always could have been. Yeah, and now I'm so excited to use it more. I think I'll use it much more in projects going forward.

SPEAKER_02

Sure.

Ulrikke

It's so much more powerful, but then it kind of created a little bit of a pickle for us because then I thought that I could just have my agent kind of just take the old curriculum, just translate it into the new UI. I gave the playwright MCP the task of just go through it, just go through the course and an interface and just grab new screenshots and bridge the gaps. And it went, yes, I will. And it came back a day later with something that was not that because it funned and it had so many questions for me. It's like, have you considered this? What do I do here? And I was like, I don't know. Let me go through it. And then we realized we're we're in trouble. We're in trouble, and we were a few weeks away.

Nick

So weeks or days?

Ulrikke

Okay, I wanted to kind of share things, but okay, days. This this content needs to be fresh, you guys. It's just in time, or else it's gonna be old.

Nick

And who knows what else they were changing along the way, right? There's concepts. So we wanted to be as close as possible.

Ulrikke

Definitely. And so, and and also we had the option because you can toggle between the new and the and the classic experience. So we had the option of going through the original curriculum in the classic interface. So when we started off in the morning, we asked guys the people, the attendees, what would you like to see? Would you like us to go through the original, or would you like us to go through the new and tiny thing?

Nick

And they're like, Oh, 60 people went new stuff, new stuff.

Ulrikke

We're like, this is gonna be a bumpy ride, but let's do it together. Yep. So it was a case of you running around helping. I think you must have had like 30,000 steps in eight hours. That was massive. You just ran around the whole day, and so and the heat was crazy. And I was up on stage on my laptop, just trying to scramble to kind of bridge the gaps and fix the bugs and get people and the I was kind of one paragraph ahead of everyone else in the curriculum, working with my agent to update the new course to get it to align. But we pulled it off. Right. People learned tons and tons.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

Ulrikke

And now they are leading the pack of course because this is the first course. The the thing we had them go through doesn't exist yet. The the content team, the advocacy team behind Coppola Studio Agent Academy will of course update the curriculum, but this thing that we created is actually just something we have. So these people, and also I know a lot of other people having sessions here this week, yeah, they haven't had time to update their stuff. So there's still people talking about Copeland Studio capabilities in the old interface.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

Ulrikke

So really, this opportunity for the people in the room with us to actually learn the shiny new thing and to get on board with it.

Classic Vs New Agents And Migration Reality

Nick

And and just and just let's also be clear too if you've built agents in the classic interface, nothing's going away. Yeah. You can still maintain those. You can flip to the classic interface. Uh one of the we're gonna talk about some of the sessions we saw. I saw a session this morning by Henry James, who of course is uh one of the the uh PMs on the the PowerCat team, cat co-pilot studio uh cat team, yeah. Cat team. Yeah. Um so basically he showed and gave a breakdown of if you're using existing agents versus creating new agents, gave some guidance there um on kind of what to use when kind of thing. Yeah. And so if you have existing stuff, yes, it will continue to work, it will be fine, uh no need to worry about it.

Ulrikke

And um But also you cannot transition an old into a new one. So if you have an old one running and you're using then your interface, you open your old uh co-pilot, then the agent, then that will open up in the old interface. So there's no bridge yet between the two things. Correct. So if you want your agent to be a new copilot agent, you have to build it again from scratch. So there are MCP servers, there are tools to be that you can use for you to make that journey a little bit easier. Um, but I'm not sure if those are updated to the latest thing either, to be honest.

Nick

Yeah, I don't know. I think they talked a little bit about the co-pilot studio uh command line interface today. So that is, of course, that's a plugin. You can put in Visual Studio Code, you can build your agents. Remember Sean Astrakhan, who I just saw a few minutes ago. Um he uh he did a video we talked about the last time on using the CLI. So there are tools there, but I think at this point, if you want to take your agent, you can rebuild it using new interface. Um so the agent experience is really good. It uses skills, which is pretty which is aligned with everything else.

Ulrikke

MD files, as you have in everywhere else. You can bring them right in here. Yeah, you can upload them to your co-pilot studio agent.

Nick

And and the workflow engine.

Ulrikke

Yes.

Nick

It's sort of like if you've done, and this is where Microsoft has completely rebuilt this uh workflow engine specifically for Copilot Studio for agentic work. Um, if you've worked with N A N, you probably see the very few similarities. There's a few things. Still, you know, they kind of of course they borrow the heavily influence and borrow from each other. I talk about heavy influence and borrow. I do want to

Community Content That Saved The Day

Nick

call out a few people in the community that their content helped us get our content ready. So Reza Dorani, we owe you uh coffee, uh t-shirts, what just name whatever you want. Yeah, Matthew Devaney, Matthew, Matthew, Matthew's video on you go ahead because you got so excited about this.

Ulrikke

The thing you did at the beginning of your video when you asked your co-pilot, the new one, to show what it can do and the capabilities and how it's built. The um what was the the reference to the um the the Game of Thrones thing?

Nick

The decorus.

Ulrikke

I loved it. We showed the people in the room that video just to show them how you can go about the mental framework you have to adopt when you use these things and how clever it is and how meta that is. Matthew, I loved it. That was perfect.

Nick

Yeah, and then of course, and we showed a bit of Houden as well. Your stuff is that we showed a bit of you, what are your videos as well? Yeah, the framework. The framework and how you've updated that. Yes. And so this is, I think, the great thing about the community. Um, every and again, uh, three three top guys basically talking about the same thing. And I know we've talked about this multiple times. If you're starting out, you want to create content, you want to create content on the new co-pack studio experience, go for it. Now, I heard something on a podcast the other day which really stuck with me was uh just because that one supermarket is selling milk, the supermarket across the street is not gonna stop selling milk because at other supermarkets selling milk, they're gonna sell milk too. So, again, if you're creating content like here, there's three guys, and each of them, Houden, uh Matthew, and Reza, they attacked, they talked about the same thing, but from three completely different angles. They all had very valid points.

Ulrikke

Um and they all had something special to have.

Nick

Right. It they they complemented each other, they didn't compete with each other. So this is the great thing about this community and the plethora of content that's out there that we talk about every two weeks. Um, seriously, you guys really are the kind of the background heroes. Big shout out to you, big kudos. We we did it without your permission, but we went, we figured you put it out there, this is what we're gonna do with it.

Ulrikke

We figured they're gonna like the share and subscribe. But uh, and also the fact we so we of course we shared the links to the people in the room. It's in our course as well, the links to your videos, and it's it's such a good way for us to shine a light on who helped us because we needed help. We were stuck, we needed a new frame of mind. So rezi, your scenario and the way the the that's what we used, the ticketing and the the and we we we did we replaced Rex with bit so that it wasn't kind of stealing with the kind of influenced by, but that saved us because that was a really good use case for us to have a common red thread throughout the thing. So, I mean, I think I just love the fact that we can all pull together that's what community is, and that's why we're here. So the reason why we know about all of these three guys is that we go to these conferences, we talk to them, we get to know these people, and we extend our network and our community. This is why conferences like this is so important. All of these connections are built in places like this. The people that are here this week will do the same thing. And when they come back to their workplace and they hit the same kind of challenge that we hit in a customer setting, they have people to draw on, they have learn the people that know this better that they can ask for help. This is what community is to me. And it's so powerful and makes me a little bit emotional.

Nick

Yeah, no, it was and it was cool. And of course, some of the sessions about the new co-pilot studio. I said Henry James did a session. We have uh we'll put this in the show note. He has a link to something called the new co-pilot studio experience, talks about what it's all about, but also there's some samples there of agents they created that's open source. So if you want to look for an example, there's that.

Ulrikke

Um and also just to just to pitch because the old co-pilot studio experience, you had templates, but the new one doesn't. So that was one of the challenges that we had yesterday because part of the course is to use one of the out-of-the-box template things that doesn't exist. So this is your way to get to that kind of template thing from another source. Yes. And it's still Microsoft because it's ParCat.

Nick

And speaking about inspiration about building co-pilot studio agents and things like that, and uh, so of course, last time where we talked maybe two episodes ago about the Agent Academy hackathon.

Hackathon Winners And Agent Ideas

Nick

Oh, yeah, where they had the cash prizes. Remember, we were like, so we do have the winners of that now. So I'm just gonna I'll pop over there. So uh April Dunham, of course, and I also want a quick shout out to the the uh cloud advocate team. So April, Scott, Eliza, Daniel, all of you helped, you were very supportive. You um I uh Eliza, Scott, and Daniel all popped in to the cloud.

Ulrikke

During our workshop during the workshop to support us.

Nick

Um and and even like April sent me a message. April again, thank you. You sent me a message in the morning about you know the content and stuff, and I think you were stressing out a little bit, going, what are you guys gonna show? And like I said, nope, April, we got it, and uh we'll forward it to you. Yeah, yeah. It's sort of like she's been very uh very helpful with that too. So all of you, like it's a it takes a you I've heard one of your sessions years ago, you said it takes a village. It shakes a village, and this village was amazing for us.

Ulrikke

Yes, you came here for us, thank you.

Nick

So, speaking of April, she published a blog about who the Meet the Academy hackathon winners. And we'll talk about the recruit track. Um we do want to talk about um I was Atinia that was built by Atinia, so we'll probably get the right names of who the actual people were behind. Um but basically first place performance development assistance um for performance reviews. I I remember when I used to work at big companies, we'd have performance reviews. Microsoft, you know, you have your uh oh, they have their wording.

Ulrikke

The amount of data and the amount of links between people. Oh my lord.

Nick

Yeah, so this built an agent to help structure that with HR to make sure it's grounded and everything like this, and uh make sure there's skills, mentors, materials. So we're gonna have the links. They have like about a five-minute video demoing what they built. So it's good if you're trying to figure out what to build or you're you were looking for some inspiration for your what you can do in your own company with Copilot Studio, um, and that's that's there too. So there, that was first place. Second place was a meeting tasks agent. Um tackles the gap between meeting ending and following up work. So, of course, we now that teams are recording meetings, there's a lot of follow-up sometimes that has to be done. The cool thing is you can take those uh transcripts and things. I use this all the time. Yeah, like it is I like you know, it's not even a case of do you want to record this meeting? Like, yes, we want to record it. More for the transcript than the video. I don't re-watch, but I use the transcripts all the time.

Ulrikke

Oh, yeah, there's so many gold nuggets in meetings like this. You don't want to miss anything. Yeah, yep.

Nick

And then the other one was an interesting one through a conversational AI agent for vehicle insurance self-service portal. So I had to recently go through some vehicle insurance, uh, which is, I mean, it was what it was, and we won't even get into because it was my own fault. But anyways, I know.

Ulrikke

Uh so you have an agent to help, you can self-service this idea.

Nick

Uh yes, I although the person I talked to was very helpful. Um, I'll think and made me uh, you know, I said I felt really stupid, and she's no, no, don't feel stupid, everybody does it. That's what we have insurance for. So, but here's an agent that can help you out to help you go through that process. If you ever had to do that, it is you know time consuming. So this was really cool. Of course, there was others with the operative track as well. Um, a vendor guard on this vendor contract compliance system. We saw some demos of this today, you know.

Ulrikke

That was really cool.

Nick

Um, yeah, yeah.

Ulrikke

No, this is so cool, really, really good work. And as always, when we uh record these episodes, we find the outermost corner of the conference so that we can have some peace and quiet, but something always happens. So now a big group have decided to have a party next to us. So they just kind of saw us doing this recording and then they decided to sit right here and drink and and talk out.

SPEAKER_00

Passive aggressive at all, right?

Ulrikke

Not at all. So that's okay. Yeah, so we're just gonna keep going and hopefully the the our audio will still be okay.

Nick

I think it'll be fine because we have the mics direct. Yeah. Uh so there was an engagement hub, you know, about managers, delivery leads, handle the fragmented stream of client documents, SOW service silos of information. Have we heard about this? Oh my god. That's pretty good about you know putting that together. Um, a frostbite AI advisor uh gives a brain freeze ice cream store managers the data and actions they need to run the shop. Oh, that's interesting. So they took uh some kind of scenarios here and built that. This is amazing.

Ulrikke

Designed to solve 11 manager problems, analyzing sales by items, flavor, and topping. I love the spring line. This is so cool. Yeah, these are the Dataverse MCP server, Beltic prompts, and this is really cool. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Nick

And of course, in special ops, there was some spring sprint forge for oh, AI, oh managing scrums and ALM, you know, like we have the review meetings, the scrum meeting. Like, I am a huge advocate of agile development.

Ulrikke

Oh, yeah. Um, it's but you can't do it without the scrum master. And we've had some very good ones. So I'm not sure this is kind of Sasha level because Sasha's next level.

Nick

But if we could get a Sasha level Scrum Master, can you imagine? AI? Oh my so there's some things AI can't do.

SPEAKER_02

Oh yeah, yeah, definitely.

Nick

Uh uh Calamity agent for weather and fire alerts. Of course, that's interesting. We're getting into in Canada, we're getting into fire season now. Of course, with the heat waves we're having, um, sure there's flood, there's flooding in Montreal. So this is the world we live in. Yeah. Mother Nature is just kind of reminding us that who's still in charge of everything. Yep. Um, and treat her right. Uh, and warehouse picking agent. So this is interesting too. Like back in my younger days, uh, we helped build system, I built some um barcoding scanning systems for warehouses and things like this. So it's kind of cool. These old school problems are still problems or still need software solutions.

Ulrikke

We saw demos today of new offline capabilities for Canvas apps that are coming as well for exactly this scenario. You have a device in your hand, you're off-grid because the big buildings they don't have Wi-Fi everywhere, and you need to scan the codes and get things real time.

Nick

So that's that's yeah, so yeah, so definitely check out those videos. Uh oh, there's even on the co-work collective track as well. Uh co-pilot, co-work autonomous ITSM platform and Microsoft 365. Oh, so that's for service desk for small, medium business. That's interesting because I am working on a project now for a company that does ITSM, but more on the enterprise level. Um big shout out to them. And then uh client kickoff skill. Oh, that's pretty cool too, because meeting up with clients, you know, there's always that kickoff meeting and trying to understand and trying to get how's that culture fitting together.

Ulrikke

Yes. You want to get to know each other, kind of where are we at, kind of do we live, all that jazz. Yeah, yeah.

Nick

That's an interesting analogy. Um, and then yeah, and then uh a multi-agent PMO on co-pilot co-work, so project management office. So again, I mean, these are all these scenarios.

AI As A Tool Not A Replacement

Nick

But the cool thing about all of these are um they're agents to help people, they're not replacing these people. Yeah.

Ulrikke

Um, I think not so cool. Yeah, that's a very good point.

Nick

This is all about like how we I think I found this quote, and I'm gonna I'm gonna mess it up. But AI knows everything but doesn't know how to do anything.

SPEAKER_02

Yes, that's right.

Nick

So, and I think this is what we're seeing with all these agents. This is what's making me excited now. Like a year ago, I was like, oh, this is all too much, what's going on? Do to do, but now I'm like in my own work using agentic AI agents to help me do my job as a developer. I do it faster and more efficiently. It does a bunch of other things, and I'm seeing examples here of the same thing. And these are things where you can in your own companies, at the end of the day, to me, AI is a tool, helps you do your jobs better, helps take that tedious.

Ulrikke

And I think we just lived it. The workshop we did yesterday is a very good point. We could never have done in time what the agents did for us to put the new curriculum together. Yep, but an agent could never host that workshop.

Nick

Not in a million years.

Ulrikke

Never. No. So that is where you use it. You use it to enhance and to make what you can do better. That is what you needed to do.

Nick

Yeah. We we were completely sold, so yes.

Ulrikke

Yes. Okay. So build it.

Nick

Yep. So I mean, this will be probably a little bit of a shorter episode, uh, you know, covering off. I don't know if there's like we still have a couple days left. I have a session tomorrow on bringing your own code to PowerPages, which will be pretty exciting. Um, talking about, you know, the new SPAs and PowerPages and agentic development. I will touch on if you're building classic power pages, I don't know, how to use those tools for that as well, because I am using these tools for that day to day. Um, so if you're uh well, probably by the time this is published, I'm not sure if people are listening to this and being at the conference, but who knows? If you do, that's great. Yep. Um, of course, there's a lot of buzz about the World Cup happening right now. Yes, uh, Canada is still in it. Wow. I'm like, okay, that's that's weird.

Ulrikke

People tell me Norway's playing later today. We'll see how it goes. Yes.

Keynote Highlights And Session Takeaways

Ulrikke

But did you go to any interesting sessions today? How did you feel? What did you feel about the keynote?

Nick

The keynote was amazing. Of course, the drums at the start.

Ulrikke

Oh my lord. I mean, I I told all of the people on the on the team of ePPC, that was so brilliant. Yeah. Yes. Every year. Did you four percussionists?

Nick

Yeah, check out my Instagram because I did rec I did about a minute recording of the drums so you get an idea. How this is how we started the day. Ryan Cunningham came out for his keynote and he basically said, This is how we should start every day. And I totally agree with that.

Ulrikke

Brought the energy, woke us up, got us. I was dancing in my seat. It was so good. So, yes, and that and a bunch of coffee.

Nick

I mean, yeah, and the key, yeah.

Ulrikke

But the keynote was great. And Ryan brings it. Of course. He was so next level this time. He was really executive. We could see kind of he held it all together. He had the red thread of everything. So calm, so confident. I loved seeing Ryan on stage.

Nick

Yep. And he made the analogy to Lego because Denmark is the home of Lego. Talked about the uh the whole thing, he he basically wove the whole Lego movie into how we're living our life. And as soon as you're saying it, I'm like, oh wow, yeah, that really that lands really well. Like a court, like clever how that came together.

Ulrikke

It's the normal guy, it's the guy, the neighbor guy that saved the day. Yeah, yep. Absolutely.

Nick

Cool. So yeah, that there was that session. I talked about Henry James' session.

Ulrikke

Uh I went to um Matt Sensara session about generative pages and if if that's going to replace um the the um what is it called the old the custom pages. Um which is very interesting. I've been using gen pages a lot lately. I still find that there's a few gaps, a few things that I expected to be able to do that I can't.

Nick

Pro pro tip build your generative page in VS Code.

Ulrikke

Oh yeah, I know, and you can do that. But then and they but that's not the limitation I'm talking about because I have customers that are very used to model-driven apps. So they expect to go in through a list and then click on the customer to get the customer card up and for that to be formed over data, but they want some of the tabs to be uh a kind of a timeline that's filterable, that's better than a timeline they have already, or a map or something that's more interactive, more colorful. Maybe they want a customer card that saves space by creating a better interface, but then they want the original tabs for other things. Right. So it's hard to kind of merge those two things together.

Nick

They're sort of separate, yeah.

Ulrikke

Yeah, yeah. So what we could do is, of course, use a PCF component, but I'm not, I don't see, I find that the performance-wise PCF components are not that performable.

Nick

Or an MCP widget.

Ulrikke

Yeah, that's also something, right? And then that's kind of the bridge that we're bridging at the moment is to bring co-pilot MBC M365 co-pilot in with an agent that has that the app MCP, and to be because that will then know about the context that you're in. So you'll see a customer page and then you'll be able to interact with the data through your corporate experience. And also that will bring in the map, for instance, or whatever it is that you want to see on the fly, which we saw demos of today as well, which is absolutely mind-blowing, and that is definitely the future.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

Ulrikke

So, but for Gen Pages, I also saw a slide today on Leo's Leon's session about where Generative Pages is going. So they released a lot of new improvements uh already this spring.

SPEAKER_00

Awesome.

Ulrikke

And there are a few things in the roadmap, and also they've shared a list of things that they're working on. That's on my Instagram. So if you want to see the full list, you can go there to see that. Um, if you're working with Gen Pages, because there's a lot of good days to do that.

Nick

Right, awesome.

Ulrikke

Cool. Yeah. Um, did you go to any other sessions you wanted to mention?

Nick

No, I went to the gym.

Ulrikke

No, but you went to Melissa's session.

Nick

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Melissa Hale’s Story And Community Award

Nick

So, okay, huge shout out to our friend Melissa Hale. Yeah. Uh, she did an inspire one. Um, I don't know. I just she talked about her story, and this is the thing about if you if you're new to the power platform and you're you're new, you're not sure. She her story is amazing because she went completely changed her life around. Um, this is somebody that only in a few short years is now probably into the community. She's an MVP, she's doing amazing things with the Power Platform, but she's speaking about her journey. And it's sort of like no matter where you are, like I've said before, what I love about the Power Platform, it's very accessible. You don't have to have a computer science degree. You don't, you can be like if if you're if you actually have like a few brain cells, you can figure this out, and you can actually make a very rewarding career being a builder, a maker, especially now with AI. AI is your enabler to learn as well. So, of course, you're using these tools to, you know, as you build stuff, AI can explain it to you. You can tell AI, explain it to me like I'm a five-year-old, and AI will, and you will just get smarter and better. And so Melissa's whole story was you know about how she was you know working as a PhD. There's some family things in there. She talked about I I'm not gonna tell the whole story about the story per se. If you have the I think she'll probably do it again at a car if you ever have the opportunity to listen to it, you'll be inspired. Um, big shout out to you, Melissa. Yes, uh, we're such a sweet. We love you so much.

Ulrikke

And she helped us in a workshop as well. She's such a sweet angel. She came in, she ran around when you were too busy and there were I was too busy. She ran around to help people, she got us coffee, yes, and then she kept the energy going throughout the day for us. She's so great. Thank you, Melissa.

Nick

So uh so the the the Boost Community Award of the Week goes to Melissa Hale. Yay!

Ulrikke

Well done, Melissa. Thank you.

Nick

Okay, cool.

Why Power Platform Matters More Now

All right, yeah, and and I went to Scott Duro's session as well, how to navigate the map of the new kind of power platform and how to think about it. And also Leon, in his session as well, kind of echoed the same thing. So I just wanted to leave with that um frame of mind. The Power Platform has never been more important. And you who listen to this podcast, you'll be the advocate of this platform. Anyone can build anything, put it up on Azure, but do you know all the mechanisms, all the things you have to have in place for it to be secured, governed, and all of the things we need to think about. Manage platforms like PowerPlatform. It's the only platform in the world that has all of these capabilities and one that holds true. It is a safe space for you to build and deploy, and it there is nothing like it. So there's never ever been a more important place for Pirate Platform than right now.

Nick

Yeah, and I've been I've been working in this for as we've talked about a long time, and I totally agree. I am the more I am more excited and enthusiastic than I have been in years, to be honest. Yeah.

Ulrikke

And now, especially now, this might sound a bit, but now that kind of Copeless Studio up their game, it's like, yes, it's prop, it's a proper professional tool now, and now I can sh kind of push that on the customers with pride and not be a little bit embarrassed. But so, all in all, we're gonna learn so much more tomorrow. Yes. I have a panel discussion, you have your sessions. I know there's gonna be tons and tons and tons of sessions, uh, and we're so excited to learn more.

Nick

Perfect. Yes, absolutely. In

I'm actually gonna just share something. Sure. Because there was a guy that came up to me and we kind of crossed eyes over a coffee at the E and he said, I love your podcast. I listen to it all the time, and it's so cool. He said, Oh, thank you. I I don't know how to react to this yet, because I think but I really appreciate it. And he said, Yeah, you know what else I did? I kind of just randomly went up and and hugged someone that I've seen on YouTube because I but he's because he saved me for so much. He's helped me out with so many things. And then I realized it might be a little bit awkward. I'm like, no, that's what you don't get. We do all of this for you as well. We love that. Come up, give us a hug. That's okay. And we just appreciate it so much. Yeah, so it means the world to us to hear that you're actually out there, that someone's listening, and all the people that would come up to us this far. It's just so sweet.
