Power Platform Boost Podcast

In this episode, we start by celebrating Nick's silver medal in Costa Rica, and Ulrikke shares news and updates from the 5th and last Power Platform Community Conference in Las Vegas last week. Charles Lamanna, Ryan Cunningham, and Leon Welicki led the keynote, sharing the investments they have made in the core platform and tying up loose ends. 
This brings us nicely to the last loose end that they are deprecating: the unmanaged developer environment. Make sure to get your solution out of these environments by December - they will be deleted by January 2027. This ties into the broader story of Microsoft moving towards a pay-as-you-go and for-all-that-you-use policy - and away from free development in all parts of their ecosystem. 
There are news and updates as well as deprecations - fortunately - and this week we saw how Andreas Adner used the new Power Platform CLI with Claude Code Mods to create a real-time admin tool. We also talked about Kent Weare's blog post on how Custom API's in Dataverse MCP Server unlock transactional operations with your coding agents, and Julia Casper announced that Hydra Fusion is now renamed to GitHub Copilot Fusion and will surface as a model choice in your GitHub Copilot soon.

Welcome to the Power Platform Deprecation Podcast! :D We see dead features everywhere these last few weeks, so tune in to learn what's going away, what stays, and how we feel about it. Not all of these deprecations are properly announced by Microsoft yet, but we do see a clear trend in where this is going. 
Nick and Ulrikke also go down multiple rabbit holes left, right, and center, so buckle up for a long one this time. We provide our insights into what it feels like to be a developer these days, whether we might see Agents go on strike or HR for agents in the near future, and whether we think Power Apps have a future. 
Tune in for news and updates from community champions like Jason Moore, Andreas Adner, Rob Howard, Charles Sexton, Josh Giles, Remy van Duijkeren, Reza Dorrani, Neeraj Nandwana, and Gokul Narayanan. 
Ulrikke, hope to see some of you in Las Vegas for PPCC 2026 next week, and we wish Nick all the best at the North American Bench Press Championship in Costa Rica!

In this episode, we cover two big announcements: Microsoft Copilot Apps on Managed Runtime - or Managed Apps, as we will continue to call them (rebels unite!) AND Microsoft's superapp: the new "Copilot OS for all form factors" with Home, Code, and Autopilot!
In other news, we also share content from Charles Sexton, Lisa Crosbie, Danish Naglekar, Michael Megel, and Michel Mendes covering topics like Power Platform Toolbox, Generative Pages, and GitHub Spec Kit. Also, check out the recording of Scott Durow on the Community Call where he presented the new Operative Next Gen course in Agent Academy for the new Copilot Studio Harness!
Nick shared his experience as a speaker and attendee at Scottish Summit, and Andy Kemp shared a gentle reminder in the form of a blog post about what it can feel like to find your place at community events like this. 
Puh! That's a lot to cover in one episode - so buckle up for the ride!

Episode 95: Nordic Summit 2026
This time we come to you "live" - or at least together - from Nordic Summit 2026 in Billund, Denmark! We sat down at the end of the two-day conference for a short recap of what it was like for Ulrikke to be an organiser and for Nick to be a speaker at this community event. 
One of the popular topics for this conference was the new way to build apps from Copilot Cowork and Copilot Studio for those with tenants enrolled in the Frontier Program, as announced by Ryan Cunningham. At Nordic Summit, we saw Cooky and Matt Beard demo this in their session, and we have links to the announcements in the show notes.
Also - if you are in the process of migrating from any CRM system into the Dynamics 356 CE platform, have a look at the Dynamics 365 Activate accelerator announced by Jeff Teper. 
We also highlighted some content around Power Pages from Tino Rabe and Ritwik Ganni, and had a good old banter about SSL/TLS Certificates for Power Pages - which you can now get directly from Microsoft instead of having to rely on a third party - we learned from Ritwik Ganni. 
Make sure to check out your local area for community events! Europe is on fire at the moment, and we are positive you will find a place to learn, teach, discuss, and network somewhere near you. Have a wonderful rest of your week and take care.

Soo.. Someone got their knickers in a twist about the new AI at Work roadmap! :D We also discuss the future of Power Platform based on what we gather from this new merge of the release notes - and also test out the new Microsoft Release Communications MCP Server, which is great if you want to create your own roadmap agent.
We also highlight content from Richard Riley, Howdang Rashid, Lisa Crosbie, and Em D'Arcy around the word of the week: tokenomics. We also explore the new Project HydraFusion for GitHub Copilot, which enhances multi-model orchestration.
