For Episode 103 of the CollabTalk Podcast, the conversation focused on the Microsoft Copilot “hype cycle,” some guidance on how organizations can better prepare for Copilot, and the latest news surrounding OpenAI and its founder Sam Altman. This episode is part of our monthly focus on the latest product announcements on Power Platform and anything to do with data insights, analytics, and automation within the Microsoft ecosystem — or that may connect to or have an impact on the ecosystem.
