On today's episode, we dig into a slew of announcements with Jeff Teper (President of Collaborative Apps and Platforms at Microsoft). We spoke to Jeff onsite in Vegas shortly after he and his team delivered a 90-minute whirlwind opening keynote – one that covered the value of community, tech Copilot, Teams, SharePoint - including Copilot in SharePoint, OneDrive, Lists, and goodness for IT with recent admin and security innovation. There were a ton of new announcements, plus the culmination of what Jeff coined "The wave of AI" - meaning the past few weeks have been a surge of AI news across Microsoft 365, Teams, Viva, Security, Loop – the big reveal being the notion of bringing that same AI service value into our beloved SharePoint.
