Is low code dying? Join us for an insightful conversation with Nathan Rose, a Microsoft Business Application MVP, as we explore how AI is fundamentally changing the landscape of Microsoft 365 and the Power Platform. From the evolution of CRM to the rise of autonomous agents, this episode covers everything you need to know about the next era of work. 🚀
In this episode of Back to the M365, Nathan shares his journey from corporate sales to becoming a leading expert in Copilot Studio and Dataverse. We dive deep into the technical shifts from traditional deterministic workflows to the new agentic world. Nathan explains why the Model Context Protocol (MCP) is the secret sauce for modern AI and how Dataverse business skills are acting as microservices for scalable agents. 💡
We also tackle the big questions around governance, shadow AI, and the future of human roles in a world where agents can handle the paperwork. Nathan provides a unique perspective on why he is optimistic about AI freeing humans to focus on higher-value, empathetic work. Whether you are a citizen developer or a pro coder, this discussion provides a roadmap for staying relevant in an AI-powered ecosystem. 🤖
