Small Skills, Big Vibe: Teaching Copilot in SharePoint How Your Team Works with reusable components

Prompts get you a demo. Skills get you adoption.

Most Copilot rollouts I review stall for the same reason: every user writes their own prompt, gets a slightly different answer, and stops trusting the result after two weeks. Users don't judge Copilot by its feature list. They judge it by its vibe: does it work the way our team works, does it give the same quality every time, and can I trust what it produces? In SharePoint, that vibe now has a name: skills.

Word Games: The Importance of Good Prompting in AI

In just a couple of years, AI models have become astonishingly good at generating music, text, images, and of course, code. Yet they are still surprisingly sensitive to the exact wording of your prompt. A single adjective, a misplaced genre label, or an ambiguous instruction can send the model down entirely the wrong path.

This isn’t a bug; it’s a consequence of how generative models interpret instructions. We are really building on a linguistic ‘trick’ by asking the language model to complete some text that starts with an instruction, in the expectation that it will follow through and give us what we were hoping for. Learning to work with that sensitivity, rather than against it, is becoming one of the most important skills in modern creative AI workflows.

From Copilots to Agentic AI: What comes next for Microsoft Cloud?

For the past few years, the conversation around artificial intelligence in the Microsoft ecosystem has been dominated by one word: Copilot.

Microsoft Copilot, GitHub Copilot, Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot Studio, and a growing collection of Copilot experiences have changed the way we think about interacting with software. Instead of navigating menus, searching through documentation, or manually performing repetitive tasks, we can increasingly describe what we want in natural language (text and/or speech) and let AI help us get there.

But something important is happening. Copilots are becoming the starting point, not the destination.

The next evolution is already here: AI agents, and the difference between a Copilot and an agent is far more than a different name for an AI model.

Mastering Microsoft 365 Copilot: Effective Prompting Techniques

Copilot is only as good as the instructions it is given. The difference between a vague, generic response and one that genuinely saves an hour of work almost always comes down to the prompt. In this session we will work through the principles of effective prompting and show, through live examples across the Microsoft 365 suite, how small changes in the way you ask produce dramatically better results. The goal is not theory. By the end of the hour, attendees will have a repeatable method they can apply to the very next task on their list.

CollabDays Portugal 2026: More than an Event, a Community

Every year, there is a special moment for the Microsoft community in Portugal.
A day when IT professionals, developers, architects, decision-makers, students, MVPs, and technology enthusiasts come together to learn, share experiences, and discuss what comes next.

That moment is happening again on October 16th, 2026, in Porto, with another edition of CollabDays Portugal 2026.
