The Open Nature of Microsoft 365 Copilot Diagnostic Logs
The Microsoft 36 admin center includes an option for administrators to send Copilot diagnostic logs on behalf of users to Microsoft for investigation. Sounds good, but the diagnostic logs are in plain text (JSON format) and the prompts and responses for Copilot investigations can be viewed by administrators. That doesn’t seem like a good way to preserve user privacy. Vote for the feedback item to close this loophole.

Claude + GPT | Multi-model intelligence in Copilot
Access Anthropic and OpenAI models directly from Microsoft 365 Copilot. Generate briefing documents, presentations, and Excel files from a single prompt with Copilot Cowork, pulling from your emails, calendar, and SharePoint through Work IQ — and fold in new tasks mid-run without stopping. Using Copilot Cowork, you can use the same platform that powers Claude Cowork. It's designed for long-running, multi-step task automation.
Use Critique in Researcher to pair a generation model with a dedicated review model, applying source reliability and evidence grounding before the report lands. Run model Council to submit one prompt to GPT and Claude simultaneously and compare their full reasoning side-by-side.
These experiences with Copilot Cowork and Researcher are available now if your organization has the Frontier Program enabled. Jeremy Chapman, Microsoft 365 Director, shares how to choose, direct, and compare the right AI model for every task, all from within Microsoft 365.

Build AI Agents by Voice, Not Workflows
Get featured on the show by leaving us a Voice Mail: https://bit.ly/MIPVM Ragnar Heil shares hands-on lessons from building and running autonomous agents with OpenClaw. He compares conversational, agent-first workflows with traditional automation tools, highlights real infrastructure and security trade-offs, and explains why this kind of experimentation accelerates deep understanding of agent architecture. The conversation explores where Copilot fits today, what breaks in early-stage agents, and why learning Linux, scripting, and model plumbing is becoming a core AI skill for practitioners. 👉 Full Show Notes https://www.microsoftinnovationpodcast.com/816 🎙️ What you’ll learn How conversational interfaces like Telegram change the way agents are built and operated Where traditional automation adds friction compared to autonomous agents Practical infrastructure choices for running experimental agents safely Real-world security and governance risks when working with agentic AI Why hands-on agent maintenance accelerates architectural understanding ✅ Highlights “I literally talk into the microphone and then it builds it overnight without any effort for me.” “They’re not really autonomous, most of them are retrieval agents.” “Please don’t install OpenClaw on your PC or MacBook.” “It could literally delete your whole C drive without your command.” “I never learned so much around Linux scripts than in my whole life.” “I’m losing my fascination because I have to fix it every single day.” “It’s taken me further into understanding agents than I have ever been.” “We are in a very, very early stage here.” “The interface as we know it is going to go away.” 🧰 Mentioned OpenClaw: https://openclaw.ai/ [openclaw.ai] Copilot: https://copilot.microsoft.com/ Microsoft responsible AI standards: https://www.microsoft.com/ai/responsible-ai Copilot Studio: https://www.microsoft.com/microsoft-365-copilot/microsoft-copilot-studio/ Microsoft MVP YouTube Series - How to Become a Microsoft MVP - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzf0yupPbVkqdRJDPVE4PtTlm6quDhiu7 ✅ Keywords openclaw, autonomous agents, agentic ai, copilot, copilot studio, power automate, telegram interface, linux scripting, ai security, governance, mcp servers, infrastructure Microsoft 365 Copilot Adoption is a Microsoft Press book for leaders and consultants.
