Managed Apps (#96)

Wed, 07 Oct 2026 10:00:00 +0200

In this episode, we cover two big announcements: Microsoft Copilot Apps on Managed Runtime - or Managed Apps, as we will continue to call them (rebels unite!) AND Microsoft's superapp: the new "Copilot OS for all form factors" with Home, Code, and Autopilot!

In other news, we also share content from Charles Sexton, Lisa Crosbie, Danish Naglekar, Michael Megel, and Michel Mendes covering topics like Power Platform Toolbox, Generative Pages, and GitHub Spec Kit. Also, check out the recording of Scott Durow on the Community Call where he presented the new Operative Next Gen course in Agent Academy for the new Copilot Studio Harness!

Nick shared his experience as a speaker and attendee at Scottish Summit, and Andy Kemp shared a gentle reminder in the form of a blog post about what it can feel like to find your place at community events like this.

Puh! That's a lot to cover in one episode - so buckle up for the ride!

Nordic Summit (#95)

Wed, 23 Sep 2026 18:00:00 +0200

Episode 95: Nordic Summit 2026

This time we come to you "live" - or at least together - from Nordic Summit 2026 in Billund, Denmark! We sat down at the end of the two-day conference for a short recap of what it was like for Ulrikke to be an organiser and for Nick to be a speaker at this community event.

One of the popular topics for this conference was the new way to build apps from Copilot Cowork and Copilot Studio for those with tenants enrolled in the Frontier Program, as announced by Ryan Cunningham. At Nordic Summit, we saw Cooky and Matt Beard demo this in their session, and we have links to the announcements in the show notes.

Also - if you are in the process of migrating from any CRM system into the Dynamics 356 CE platform, have a look at the Dynamics 365 Activate accelerator announced by Jeff Teper.

We also highlighted some content around Power Pages from Tino Rabe and Ritwik Ganni, and had a good old banter about SSL/TLS Certificates for Power Pages - which you can now get directly from Microsoft instead of having to rely on a third party - we learned from Ritwik Ganni.

Make sure to check out your local area for community events! Europe is on fire at the moment, and we are positive you will find a place to learn, teach, discuss, and network somewhere near you. Have a wonderful rest of your week and take care.

Tokenomics (#94)

Wed, 09 Sep 2026 10:00:00 +0200

Soo.. Someone got their knickers in a twist about the new AI at Work roadmap! :D We also discuss the future of Power Platform based on what we gather from this new merge of the release notes - and also test out the new Microsoft Release Communications MCP Server, which is great if you want to create your own roadmap agent.

We also highlight content from Richard Riley, Howdang Rashid, Lisa Crosbie, and Em D'Arcy around the word of the week: tokenomics. We also explore the new Project HydraFusion for GitHub Copilot, which enhances multi-model orchestration.

BOOST as a service (#93)

Wed, 26 Aug 2026 10:00:00 +0200

In this episode, we share some tips and tricks we use when working with coding agents to keep them up to date and our project work coding-agent-agnostic. The Power CAT team has released an update to the Copilot Agent Kit - an essential tool for anyone working with Copilot Studio.

Training and keeping certifications up to date is also important, and we can now get help from Vivian Voss's new Free Microsoft Certification Trainer website. It's also important to keep on top of the changes to security setup for Power Pages, and we highlighted some other new features as well.

Thank you to the amazing people behind the content we highlighted this week: Anouck Fierens, Vivian Voss, Tino Rabe, Nagesh Bhat, the Power Platform Podcast by Mark Christie and Malin Martnes, with guest Scott Durow.

Hope you all are having a great week and that you stay safe and take care.

Wed, 12 Aug 2026 10:00:00 +0200

Yiiiihaa!! This time we spent a fair bit of time talking about the mental model around the new announcements for Copilot Studio, and that it's now based on the GitHub Copilot Harness, and what that means.

Our amazing friends at the Cloud Advocacy team released a new module for this new harness already! Shout out to Elaiza Benitez, Daniel Laskewitz, Scott Durow, Jack Rowbotham, Dona Sarkar and April Dunnam. Combine this course with the extensive list of recorded webinars by the CAT Team, that cover everything that you can possibly come across when working with Copilot Studio!

We also need covered community content around how to make a podcast recording from the daily digest from all the newsletters you subscribe to but don't have time to read, by Remi Dyon. We wanted to shout out to the newsletter crews that keep us in the loop every week: Power Platform Weekly, curated by Carina M. Claesson, Daniel Laskewitz, Ed Gonzales, and Magnus Gether Sørensen; Power Platform Dev Weekly, from Danish Naglekar and Anwesha Sharma; the Copilot Studio Newsletter on LinkedIn, curated by Bülent Altinsoy; Charles Sexton's series of Code Apps updates; and How to AI, Ruben Hassid's newsletter on Claude and AI tools

Wed, 15 Jul 2026 10:00:00 +0200

It's in the middle of the summer for both of us; Nick just had a serendipitous experience 🏆️ at the local grocery store, and Ulrikke just came back from an Interrail trip 🚅 through Europe with the kids! If you want to hear about our summer experiences, tune in to this cutout: 🏖️Boost Extra! Summer Vibe! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=draieQra5tA 😎

If you are looking for something more tech-related to fill your ears with while on holiday, EPPC just published the keynotes from last week's event on ▶️ YouTube! We highly recommend you tune in to watch the keynotes by Ryan Cunningham, Nirav Shah, Leon Welicki, and the rest of the Microsoft team! 🤩 It was refreshing to watch the only non-Microsoft keynote speaker, Chris O'Brien. He talked about what's discussed in the boardrooms and how to align your career to stay relevant.

We also picked up LinkedIn posts from Steve Mordue, Jukka Niiranen, and Scott Hanselman this week as they touched on the same nerve as Chris did in his keynote, echoing some of the fears - but also proposing solutions for all of us working in this fast-paced⚡️AI era.

Also, Vesa Juvonen, the Copilot Studio CAT team, Nagesh Bhat, Michel Mendes, Luciano Spiguel, and Kunal Sethi gave us technical deep dives and interesting📣 announcements around M365, SharePoint, Copilot Studio, and Power Pages this week 😀

Hope you are having a great summer (or winter) wherever you are, that you take care to manage the heat 😅 for yourself and your loved ones, and that you stay safe. Catch you next time 🌴

This episode starts with a recap of the biggest 📣 news and announcements for the Power Platform ecosystem from Microsoft BUILD last week. We are still buzzing from learning about Microsoft IQ, the new Autopilot from Microsoft called Scout🦞, the new Closed Loop Learning 👩‍🎓 for Power Apps MCP Server, and the Connector Inventory 🗃️ for governance.

Scott Durow posted a great visual walkthrough about the completely new ✨️ experience for building with Copilot Studio! It's not just a facelift - it has been rebuilt from scratch, and the whole mental model has changed! If you need to deep-dive 🥽, Resa Dorani has you covered with a video showing all the new bells and whistles.

There is a bunch of new content from the community again this week! It is an exciting time to be a technologist, that's for sure. We see you guys building all kinds of cool 🤩 stuff and bringing us along for your learning journey👨‍🏫. Listen through 🎧️ the episode or cut directly to the show notes 📒 for content from Kyle Daigle, Srihari Srinivasa, Kent Weare, Suyash Kshirsagar, Yina Arenas, Sean Astrakhan, Charles Sexton, Victor Dantas, Andreas Adner, Ritu Joshi, Valentin Gasenko, David Zoonekyndt, Fredrik Neiderud, Diana Birkelbach, David Wyatt, and Kevin Holland 👏

2025 Review (#75)

Wed, 31 Dec 2025 10:00:00 +0100

✨ 2025 Review 🎆

Can you believe that the term "vibe coding" was introduced in February 2025? That tells us something about the speed of change in the tech space.💨 No wonder we get a little dizzy 🫨 at times trying to keep up with the news, announcements, and updates 🚀

In this episode, we look back at 2025 from different angles: 🗞️ news, ⌨️ tech, 🎫 events, and 🎓 learning. Join us for a conversation where we summarize the big news and 📣 announcements around Power Platform over the last year and make sure you didn't miss anything.

We discuss what we have enjoyed learning about this year and the current projects we have on the go. Nick is diving into learning 🤓 React - and has big plans for new content 📽️ streams - so stay tuned!

We also take you through the main events that are coming up in 📆 2026, and Ulrikke provides some insights into the benefits of organising events and what she is looking for when she reviews session submissions 👩‍🎤

From both of us, to all of you, a huge and heartfelt💕 thank you for listening and supporting us throughout the year. We hope to continue helping you stay on top of things in the new year as well, and encourage you to give us more feedback and share this podcast with a friend or colleague 🥰

As 2025 comes to a close, we hope you all had a good rest over the holidays and wish you a wonderful start to the new year ✨

Nordic Summit 2024 Recap

Sun, 29 Sep 2024 17:00:00 +0200

We had an amazing time at the Nordic Summit 2024 at the Hub in Oslo. Ulrikke has been part of the planning committee and was a part of the opening keynote. Nick and Ulrikke were some of the hosts for the Nordic Summit podcast during the event but also made sure to attend some of the many amazing sessions.

Ulrikke had loads of fun wrapping up the day with a Gameshow together with Magnus Sørensen. They threw gifts at people and had quizzes like "Guess the logo" and "Is it dead yet" with attendees from the audience matched with MVPs. Nordic Summit has a very special and unique vibe, everyone seemed to be having an amazing time. For Nordic Summit 2025, the event is going back to Sweden, and we hope we will see you there

Color Cloud Recap

Mon, 22 Apr 2024 13:00:00 +0200

We had an amazing time at the Color Cloud Conference last week. What an event! We are practically jumping up and down with excitement; this event is all the things a community event is all about! :D Well done to the organizers!

As we try to recap a fantastic week, we talk about the Color Challenge on Wednesday, where we colored our hair for charity. Nick had a Power Pages workshop on Thursday, and Ulrikke helped out. The speaker dinner was a bit out of the ordinary, and one we will remember for a long while. Friday was conference day, and we learned a lot about the future of Power Platform and AI, strategy, and how it will affect our jobs.

Ulrikke and Nick are back recording in the same room with another #superexciting episode of the Power Platform BOOST Podcast. Microsoft Ignite was last week and community members everywhere may have got caught up in a game of "take a drink" every time the word "copilot" was mentioned. (Seriously - please do drink responsibly). The dynamic duo talks about copilots, AI, payment gateways, Power App improvements, community newsletters, and discord channels.

Nordic Summit 2023

Sat, 23 Sep 2023 16:00:00 +0200

Nordic Summit is one of our favorite community events, and this year we're in Copenhagen, Denmark. Nick has fun teaching a workshop on Power Pages on Friday. Today, Saturday, we have enjoyed being with this inclusive bunch of #PowerAddict friends, learning lots of new things, and connecting with the community.

Between us, we went to these great sessions by some of our favorite speakers:

👀 Looking Good, Exciting, and Functional! Power Apps that POP 💥by Mike Hartley
Connecting to Dataverse: do's, don'ts, and how not to make all your data public by accident by Yannick Reekmans and Mats Necker
Power Automate Gymnastics: The Dataverse Edition by Amey Holden
Data Modeling in Dataverse: Where Dinosaurs and Unicorns Meet 🦖🦄💻 by Rebekka Aalbers and Chris Huntingford
Power Pipelines, Power Platform Build Tools, ALM Accelerator. Oh My! By Jens Schrøder
Managed Environments - Your secret to success by Carl Cookson

This was also the first time we were presenting on stage together, and we had so much fun on stage presenting on "Top 10 tips and tricks for Power Pages".

We didn't do a PowerPoint deck, but we did a Power Pages site instead! It's live, and you can reach it at https://top10powerpagestips.powerappsportals.com (until we take the site down and turn it into a blog post)

A big THANK YOU to the amazing people that put this event together. It was great last year and it is even better this year. Already looking forward to Nordic Summit, in Oslo, sometime late September 2024!
