    021 | Why Not All Copilot Experiences Are Created Equal

    In this episode of Code Deploy GoLive, hosts Julie Turner and Andrew Connell explore why Microsoft 365 Copilot experiences vary significantly depending on where you access them—whether in Outlook, Word, Teams, or the standalone Copilot app. Through real-world examples and technical insights, they explain how different orchestrators power various Copilot experiences, from the App Chat orchestrator to the SharePoint and Copilot Studio orchestrators, each with unique capabilities and limitations. Learn why the same query can produce different results across applications, how Copilot accesses data through semantic indexing rather than directly from Microsoft Graph, and what this means for user experience and enterprise AI adoption. Andrew also shares key takeaways from the European SharePoint Conference (ESPC), including insights on SharePoint Framework 1.22, the future of developers in the AI era, and Microsoft's approach to declarative agents. Essential listening for developers, IT professionals, and anyone implementing or working with Microsoft 365 Copilot in their organization. 🔗 LINKS=================================================🔗 Julie's LinkedIn Post about Copilot Julie's Pick:🔗 DIRT | Aventure Local Andrew's Pick:🔗 The Lazarus Project 🎙️ PODCAST🔗 https://codedeploygo.live, LinkedIn, Bluesky 🎙️ HOSTSJulie TurnerAndrew Connell: LinkedIn, YouTube, Bluesky, Newsletter SPONSORS Sympraxis (by Julie Turner) 🔗 Website 🔗 Ask Sympraxis 🔗 YouTube Voitanos (by Andrew Connell) 🔗 Website 🔗 LinkedIn 🔗 Bluesky Music Credit: Ken Bagley (00:00) - Introduction (12:20) - Agent 365 Follow Up (16:31) - Microsoft 365 Copilot Experiences & Orchestrators (52:40) - AC's & Julie's Picks

    015 | Navigating Microsoft Graph's SDK Future… and Struggles

    In episode 15, Andrew & Julie examined the maintenance status of various Microsoft Graph SDKs. While some SDKs like .NET, Java, PHP, PowerShell, and Go receive regular monthly updates, the JavaScript SDK has not been updated in approximately two years (since September 2023). This creates significant issues for developers as the Graph endpoints have certainly changed during this time, but the typings and SDK haven't been updated to reflect these changes. The Microsoft Graph CLI was also noted as being publicly archived and officially retired as of late August 2025. 🔗 LINKS=================================================From the episode intro & banter:🔗 Runna🔗 Welltory Links from the show:🔗 Julie on LinkedIn - Are Microsoft Graph typings no longer maintained🔗 Microsoft Graph🔗 Microsoft Graph CLI Retirement🔗 Microsoft Graph TypeScript SDK (repo)🔗 Microsoft Graph TypeScript SDK (NPMJS)🔗 Microsoft Graph TypeScript SDK Replacement🔗 Generate Microsoft Graph client libraries with Kiota 🎁 PICKS=================================================Andrew's Pick:🔗 Racintosh PlusJulie's Picks:🔗 DOAC: Brain Experts WARNING: Watch This Before Using ChatGPT Again! 🎙️ PODCAST🔗 https://codedeploygo.live, LinkedIn, Bluesky 🎙️ HOSTSJulie TurnerAndrew Connell: LinkedIn, YouTube, Bluesky, Newsletter SPONSORS Sympraxis (by Julie Turner) 🔗 Website 🔗 Ask Sympraxis 🔗 YouTube Voitanos (by Andrew Connell) 🔗 Website 🔗 LinkedIn 🔗 Bluesky Music Credit: Ken Bagley (00:00) - Introduction (08:47) - Episode (51:44) - AC's & Julie's Picks
