Microsoft’s Copilot stack is finally becoming useful for workplace AI
koltregaskes · x · 2026-07-24
Microsoft’s workplace AI stack is starting to look usable, according to the poster: they gained access to Cowork in Copilot, set up MCP for Salesforce, and got computer use in Copilot Studio.
The post also notes several rough edges:
- Cowork in Copilot is still flaky, with tasks sometimes failing and concurrency limits.
- File-saving to SharePoint is awkward enough that a dedicated skill had to be created.
- The default Salesforce MCP server is limited, so customized hosted MCPs would help.
- Turning on the Salesforce connector for the Sales app may be the simplest way to bring Salesforce data into Microsoft’s ecosystem.
Overall, the poster says Microsoft is finally shipping useful AI business tools, but they still need more reliability and flexibility.
