The hub was still open - two booths that I found useful to visit. Are you an entrepreneur? Check out the Microsoft For Startups booth, ask about Founders Hub! Are you a learner- talk to Erik at the Microsoft Learn booth to learn about resources & certifications

Got a chance to check out the ‘Make a postcard with Trustworthy AI’ booth before the crowds file in. A great use of AI to create an image of you based on your personalized prompt with Microsoft Designer. Let me say that it did a good enough job that you will recognize me by the outfit at least 😁

Listening to Alysa Taylor set the stage for keynote by identifying the three major shifts that moved the industry before- mobile, internet and cloud And now the shift to AI with the Copilot ecosystem as your AI powered companion Copilot = UI for AI Human + Copilot + Agents Me + AI + Automation

I’ll walk you through the steps to build a custom retail copilot for first on Azure AI Foundry- and give you a sandbox that you can take back home and revisit on your own to explore optional ideas or dive deeper into the details behind the development! aka.ms/aitour/WRK550 #MSAITour #MSFTAdvocate

Also good morning Toronto!! Here for the Microsoft AI Tour where I will be delivering two lab sessions on building RAG based copilots code-first on Azure AI Foundry. It’s an advanced lab that has evolved over nearly a year with thousands of devs skilled. The best part? Conversations with community!

TMW you are on a 2hr call training some trainers and find out everyone has gone to sleep at home. But someone (a 16yo) has been busy getting things ready for Thanksgiving day 👀

I first moved to Chicago over two decades ago - and one of the images that remains in my mind to this day is the sculptures that dot the downtown area - there’s a Picasso somewhere but Alexander Calder’s Flamingo will forever be my favorite! It’s grace forged with a steely backbone! Had to stop by!

Okay this is the day before the #MSIgnite conference and the registration line is already wrapping around a few times! Forgot what conferences of this size feel like #CommunityRocks I’m excited now - wishing we had more time to show more cool things ❤️

Get you a hotel where you call to see if they have coffee for a late night sprint - and they deliver a Nespresso machine to your room with enough pods & creamers to power you through a couple of hours. ❤️ Sure I’ll regret it in the morning but it was good coffee

Hey Skytalkers!! I’m headed to Chicago for #MSIgnite and hope I get to see some of you in person Also they say you should start as you mean to go on - I work in AI but I find joy in creative things!

Happy Mothers Day to all who celebrate. With thanks for those who influences, and our North stars. With compassion for those who lost loved ones. And with 💯 support for the right of every person to choose for themselves if they want to have kids (or not), at any time, with no societal pressure. 💪🏽

Just here to say I 💯 approve of both the visible errors messages and the attention grabbing hot pink aesthetic on this app. Carry on 🩷

Have you ever been so tired that your eyes create optical illusions? Right now my computer skin is crawling with grey scale worms and the colorful spaghetti is not amused. I'm grinning tho. I need coffee. #TennisMomDuty

I drew this a few years ago when I started using art as a form of self care .. it helped me focus, channeled my anxiety and frustration into constructive forms of expression and opened my eyes to the finer details of life. I'm picking up my iPad again today to create something new. 😍🎶 #BlueskyFX

If you're a fan of 🥭 run now to your nearest Indian store.. apparently a good year because we're seeing multiple varietals including the king of mangoes (Alfonso). They are flying off the shelves right now 😁 #justsaying when it comes to flavor there is no equal ♥️

Just testing something .. so I so see the ALT now when I post a new image ...it's kinda squished in a corner but I see it. But do I see it for images I've already posted? Hmm .. I'm.hungry now tho. Brb.

The first tweet on a new social network. Felt right to go back to where it all started and spin some Dave Mathews again. 🎶 'Where are you going? Where do you go?" .. I am no Superman .. I have no answers for you .. 🎶 Hello Everyone! Here's to friendly communities & fresh starts. ♥️
