Are you ready to move beyond the AI hype and build production-ready solutions for your organization? Join us as we sit down with Microsoft MVP Vishmi An to discuss the architecture, security, and governance required for enterprise-grade AI agents. This episode of the M365 FM podcast dives deep into what it takes to make your workplace AI-ready.

In this session, we explore the shifting landscape of Microsoft 365, from the latest announcements at Microsoft Build to the practicalities of multi-agent orchestration. Vishmi shares her deep expertise in using PnP PowerShell for security hygiene and explains why a successful Copilot rollout is a business transformation initiative rather than just an IT project. We cover the technical differences between Copilot Studio, Agent Toolkit, and Azure Foundry, helping you decide which tool fits your specific use case.

You will also learn about the Model Context Protocol, the importance of metadata in AI reasoning, and how to maintain governance using Entra ID and Microsoft Purview. Whether you are a developer looking to build custom agents or a business leader planning your AI roadmap, this conversation provides a clear path through the complexity of modern workplace technology.
