Good work @BloombergTV and @business on a great conference and also capturing 👇what each of us leaders are excited about with AI. I for one want to give every person at work a to-go-box team of agents to help us do BETTER work, not just MORE work. #BloombergTech.
LIVE: #BloombergTech concludes with @anduriltech’s @traestephens, @agilityrobotics’ @PeggyJ, @WHOSTP47’s @mkratsios47, @Microsoft’s @aparnacd, Jeffrey Katzenberg, and more.

NLX is the new UX - prompts, plans, chain of thought, progress reports on long running tasks - elements of the new “file menu”. As model capabilities all converge, intentionally designed NLX will be a key differentiator.
Microsoft CPO @aparnacd: "NLX (natural language interface) is the new UX". "You and I are having a conversation, it's a podcast. I'll have another conversation at Microsoft, and that's a meeting. Conversations have grammars, they have structures, they have UI elements. But

I had a great time talking to .@lennysan about all things product, tech and AI. My favorite zip code is “living one year in the future” - from shaping Google Search as the web grew, founding Google Lens to bring vision to phone cameras to now building a team of agents for work.
Microsoft CPO @aparnacd brought the 🔥. What you'll learn:.🔸 Why prompt sets are the new PRDs.🔸 Why the PM role isn’t dying in the AI era—it's actually becoming more important.🔸 How Aparna's teams live “one year in the future".🔸 Why NLX (natural language experience) is the

Burned out at work? Try leaning on AI. @richontech

Zawinski's law of software development now has an AI variant. I declare the Chennapragada law :) . Every AI agent attempts to expand until it can write code. Those which cannot so expand are replaced by ones which can.

We’ve traced the call— it’s coming from inside the house! :) . With our latest #Microsoft365 Agents -- Analyst & Researcher -- I find AI getting embedded well inside my workflow as I steer, explore, and co-think with AI. More in my LinkedIn post.

Must-read post by @koomen. h/t @othman . I wrote something along similar lines last week based on how the intelligence is dumbed down by the app interfaces and our own low expectations- “Your intern is actually Einstein” .
Fantastic essay by @koomen. On the surface it's about Gmail's (useless) AI assistant, but more deeply it's about how an AI-based stack can evolve the nature of how we build applications and users experience them. One big picture TL;DR I took from it is that AI may enable us to.

Prompt sets are the new PRDs, as @lennysan and I were just talking about. I some times find it helpful to even go meta -- use LLMs to generate the eval prompt sets, and LLM based rating.
I’ve noticed that many GenAI application projects put in automated evaluations (evals) of the system’s output probably later — and rely on humans to judge outputs longer — than they should. This is because building evals is viewed as a massive investment (say, creating 100 or.

WWXD “come up with an approach based on what X would do” - one of my favorite recent uses of the M365 Researcher agent at work. (Where X = boss, stakeholder, someone who is the gold standard). Deep Reasoning models + deep work context = 💥.

What do we do when your intern is an Einstein? . intelligence abundance is here and we all need to rewire our brains.

Love this memo from @tobi . One of my (many) hacks in rewiring my brain to reflexively use AI is my simple chrome extension that shows this reminder every time I open a new tab :)
I heard this internal memo of mine is being leaked right now, so here it is:

Turns out speed is the (back door) killer feature. Kudos to @AndresFreundTec.
Love seeing how @AndresFreundTec, with his curiosity and craftsmanship, was able to help us all. Security is a team sport, and this is the culture we need everywhere.

Here’s what I’ve been up to in 1st few months at @Microsoft w/ @satyanadella @MParakhin @sumit_c @yusuf_i_mehdi . @MSFTCopilot now goes beyond text to visual interaction! Watch this space for more tools to amplify our creativity and productivity, taking AI era from DOS to GUI 😊.
Excited for all that people will achieve with this next generation of AI, as we bring the power of Copilot to anyone, anywhere, on any device.

If prompting is your love language, #microsoftdesigner can help. Just say what you want to see.
And here I am downloading file "Designer (190)" 😂 . I had no idea! .
