Agent 365, Shadow AI & the Human in the Loop | Guardians of M365 Governance #29
<p>Episode 29 of Guardians of M365 Governance: Christian Buckley, Joy Apple, and Ragnar go off-script. No guest this month, just three MVPs working through a laundry list of the governance topics keeping them up at night, from Agent 365 and shadow AI to the real question underneath it all: what does it mean to be the human in the loop?In this episode we get into:00:59 The hottest news in the M365 governance space02:00 Lessons from Agent 365 customer workshops (delivered in Spanish!)03:25 What resonates: agent inventory and classification across Microsoft, third-party, and homegrown agents03:52 Shadow AI: OpenClaw, Cortex, Bedrock and why "observe or block" is the only lever today05:04 Don't be the department of "no": have the conversation first06:50 Coming soon to shadow AI discovery: Claude Code CLI, Codex CLI, Cursor, Llama and more07:19 Multi-model reality: Copilot, Grok, Claude and where each fits08:35 Mike Gennady's agent factory, nightly agent conferences, and #ClawPilot10:08 Microsoft Build preview and OpenClaw + Teams / Copilot integration11:05 New Agent 365 registry sync: Amazon Bedrock, Google Vertex AI, Databricks Genie, Salesforce Agentforce15:16 Cloud migration vs. AI: the governance parallels and the need for foundational cleanup18:00 The risk to Microsoft's strategy: enterprise vs. the developer space20:28 Licensing changes, Agent 365 pricing, and the true (unknown) cost of AI22:45 Why automating away junior roles handicaps your future talent pipeline24:01 Retrieval, semi-autonomous, and autonomous agents, and why nobody wants full autonomy yet25:33 Human in the loop on multiple levels: content cleanup, the publishing quality gate, and workflow escalation28:50 100 test cases for Power Platform alone: never underestimate the testing effort29:31 Productivity vs. effectiveness: redefining how humans work with AI31:17 AI-assisted writing done right: a 47-page doc drafted by AI, then days of human verification35:28 Handwriting vs. typing, stream-of-consciousness drafting, and thinking through the words36:36 Why the human mind can't be replicated, and Hegel on master and horse39:28 Finding your USP as a human in the loop, a daily new discoveryThe big takeaway: the discussion of the next two to three years won't be about productivity. It will be about effectiveness, and resetting the standard for what it means to keep humans meaningfully in the loop. Govern your agents as helpers, never the other way around.Guardians of M365 Governance is a monthly webcast dedicated to everything governance in the Microsoft 365 ecosystem.

Inside the Souls of an Autonomous AI Crew | OpenClaw & Hermes with Michael Gannotti (Microsoft)
<p>Inside the Souls of an Autonomous AI Crew | OpenClaw & Hermes with Michael Gannotti (Microsoft)What happens when AI stops being a tool and starts being a colleague?In this episode, I sit down with Michael Gannotti, Principal AI Solution Engineer at Microsoft, to explore SMFWorks – his autonomous multi-agent "company" of 14 AI colleagues built on OpenClaw and Hermes. We talk about agents that dream, hold their own 6 AM staff meetings, design their own avatars, email each other, and evolve a true sense of identity through Markdown-based "souls."If you're into agentic AI, multi-agent orchestration, or just want to see where this is all heading – this one is for you.⚠️ Recorded before Microsoft Build 2026 – no NDA content.

Your Microsoft 365 Tenant Has No Backup Plan — And That's a Crisis Waiting to Happen
<p>Your Microsoft 365 tenant may have a data backup strategy — but that does not mean you have a recovery strategy. In this episode, I explain why configuration resilience is the missing layer in most Microsoft 365 environments, and why a tenant takeover can become a business continuity crisis long before data loss becomes visible.In Episode 26 of Guardians of M365 Governance, Christian Buckley and I speak with Rob Edmonson from CoreView about one of the biggest blind spots in enterprise Microsoft 365 security: configuration tampering. We unpack why backing up emails, files, and SharePoint content is not enough when attackers can silently modify policies, mail flow, conditional access, Intune settings, and governance controls across your tenant.We also look at what “configuration as code” means in practice, how continuous drift detection and rollback can improve resilience, and why least-privilege administration still remains a major governance challenge in large Microsoft 365 estates. If you are responsible for Microsoft 365, security, compliance, or tenant governance, this conversation will likely hit close to home.Topics covered in this episode:- Why Microsoft 365 backup is not the same as tenant recovery- How configuration drift creates hidden governance risk- Why attackers target settings before they target data- What rollback and baseline comparison can look like in practice - How cross-tenant configuration migration can save weeks of effort- Why virtual tenant segmentation matters for least privilege- What Microsoft 365 admins should review right nowWatch the full episode and assess your own recovery readiness: what would happen if your tenant configuration changed overnight?Connect with me on LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/ragnarheilMore on Microsoft 365 governance: https://ragnarheil.de</p>
