Steps
3 steps- 1
Gather the week's updates
Search authoritative Microsoft sources published or updated in the last 7 days for news about Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot Studio, Copilot agents, and Microsoft Scout. Prioritize: the Microsoft 365 and Copilot blogs (microsoft.com/blog), Microsoft Learn 'what's new' and release pages, the Message Center and Microsoft 365 roadmap, and the Power Platform / Copilot Studio release plans. For each item, capture the title, the canonical URL, the publish or update date, and a one-sentence summary in your own words. Collect everything relevant now; do not filter yet.

Filter to what matters
From the items gathered, keep only material changes a Copilot Studio maker or M365 admin would act on: general availability, public preview, deprecations and breaking changes, pricing or Copilot Credits changes, new connectors or capabilities, and roadmap dates. Drop marketing recaps, opinion pieces, and anything older than 7 days. Deduplicate items that cover the same announcement, keeping the most authoritative source. If nothing material shipped this week, note that plainly rather than padding the list.

Write and post the Teams digest
Write a concise digest titled 'Copilot & Agents - week of <date>'. Group items under headings: Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot Studio, Agents & Scout, and Governance & Admin (omit any empty group). For each item give the title as a link, the date, and a one-line 'why it matters'. Keep the whole digest scannable in under two minutes. Post it to Teams. Do not invent items, dates, or links; include only what the previous step verified. Do not use the em dash character.
