In this episode of Code Deploy GoLive, hosts Julie Turner and Andrew Connell explore why Microsoft 365 Copilot experiences vary significantly depending on where you access them—whether in Outlook, Word, Teams, or the standalone Copilot app. Through real-world examples and technical insights, they explain how different orchestrators power various Copilot experiences, from the App Chat orchestrator to the SharePoint and Copilot Studio orchestrators, each with unique capabilities and limitations. Learn why the same query can produce different results across applications, how Copilot accesses data through semantic indexing rather than directly from Microsoft Graph, and what this means for user experience and enterprise AI adoption. Andrew also shares key takeaways from the European SharePoint Conference (ESPC), including insights on SharePoint Framework 1.22, the future of developers in the AI era, and Microsoft's approach to declarative agents. Essential listening for developers, IT professionals, and anyone implementing or working with Microsoft 365 Copilot in their organization.
