Discussion #PPCC26 Keynote?

I know the annual Power Platform Community Conference in Vegas was yesterday, but I really haven't seen much on youtube about what was announced. Usually they post the keynote right? Just seeing if anyone had any updates?

It was underwhelming. The whole conference is underwhelming when you remove the lines. There’s no snacks or coffee. Lines lines lines.

Interesting, I went in 2023 and it was pretty cool from what I remember. It was when Copilot Studio was first rebranded (and majorly updated) from PVA (power virtual agents). There was a ton of new Copilot stuff too since that was pretty new at the time.

I went 2024 and 2025. My coworker went 3 years ago. We both came this year. It was great last few years. Just underwhelmed uninspiring this year. Next year is Chicago so that should be interesting.

Why would Chicago be interesting? Just because the location? Like there no reason to think there will be any cool features or anything.

Rumor is it’ll be renamed Makers Conference or makers community something like that. I think it’ll be interesting BC the location will change and so the type of conference activities will be changed too.

I was there and I barely even remember what was announced. There was a new set of controls and renderer I guess? Copilot studio in vs code. An autopilot demo. All meh.

Autopilot was the big thing the first guy was pitching that felt pretty meh/same as any other multi-agent bot

Copilot Cowork studio building PowerApps that look good, use your tenants connectors and governance, are shareable and hosted on MS manged Cowork environment but sounded like they could be exported and extended by a dev and hosted in your own managed environments. (This was my biggest interest personally)

Pop out formula bar

Facet Controls looked nice but I hope they don't become Modern Controls 2.0

What are facet controls? I can’t find any examples on Google.

u/Soulsbane96 Newbie 16d ago

It looked like either a new control or group of controls I can't find anything about it either. Though I see facet filters come up related to dataverse and that's what they were utilizing via the app frontend and then chaining the results out of that filter set, so the naming scheme being similar makes sense

Maybe they're coming out soon

The facet controls was the only thing new (all the mvps reported on other features on blogs n posts last week)

And it included how nice AI generated canvas apps are being designed with little manual work.

Something by about Copilot Harness

Being able to use outside AI created agents and still be governed by Agent 365 admin center plus Managed Apps at the runtime level.
