Exciting Day One at Microsoft Build 2024! Just wrapped up an exhilarating day at Microsoft Build, and I’m thrilled to share some key takeaways: Satya Nadella's Keynote: Satya’s vision for the Microsoft Copilot stack is impressive! The focus on security (secure by design, secure by default, and secure by operations) ensures a robust foundation. Real-time analytics and scene-to-audio narration will revolutionize accessibility. Rajesh Jha's Insights: Copilot’s integration with Microsoft apps is seamless, but what caught my attention is the standalone app. Users can choose between web and work modes, and the prompt library ensures accurate interactions. The Team Copilot concept is brilliant—streamlining teamwork, note-taking, and task follow-ups. Kevin Scott's Insights and Conversations: The cost per response has already decreased by 12 times and the speed is already 6 times faster. His discussions with Khan Academy’s CEO Sal Khan and OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman were enlightening. Always great to see tech leaders sharing insights! I can't wait to see the Copilot+PC that is going to hit the market soon! Breakout Room with Brendan Burns, Christian Schmid, and Paul Weber: BMW’s MyBMW app, powered by AKS, GitHub, and Azure services, connects millions of vehicle owners worldwide. The over-the-air (OTA) fleet updates are game-changing. And Brendan’s take on Kubernetes and AI innovation? Mind-blowing! Customizable Copilots: Copilot extensions with Copilot Studio? Yes, please! Imagine having your own personalized AI assistant. Can’t wait for day two! Stay tuned for more updates. #MicrosoftBuild
