Shrinking on Apple TV is a little gem. I’ve laughed (a lot) and I got emotional many times. And Harrison Ford is a giant. Highly recommended.

Tried out the new M365 Copilot Retrieval APIs!
Built a custom agent with the Microsoft 365 Agents SDK + Semantic Kernel, using a plugin to fetch SharePoint data via the Retrieval APIs.

Pretty cool to see what’s possible with these tools! 👀

I’m on vacation in Croatia and I found a super useful Generative AI scenario for me. My daughter is allergic to milk and I can’t read Croatian, so I just take a photo of the label and ask if there’s milk inside. Yes, I might use a photo translator app, but the labels can be quite packed here 😂 #AI

Microsoft Translator relies on data and technology to provide its translation. Because translations are generated by Azure AI-powered machine translation they may not always be perfect or exact and should be used as an approximation of the original English language content.
