What Agent 365 Actually Changes: Agents Finally Get Treated Like Users
BySevag Tamoukian 07/09/202610/09/2026

Microsoft Agent 365 went generally available on 1 May 2026. The core move is simple: Microsoft has extended the identity, data and threat-defence model it already runs for people, Entra, Purview, Defender, onto every agent in a tenant. This piece covers what’s actually free versus licensed, the qualifying base plans required just to buy the standalone add-on (including a Business Premium gap Microsoft doesn’t call a formal prerequisite), and one specific gap in how agent-generated content is protected.

Copilot Doesn’t Need New Conditional Access. It Needs You to Actually Have the Old Ones
BySevag Tamoukian 01/08/202605/08/2026

A pattern I keep running into: someone asks how to “put Copilot behind Conditional Access,” assuming it needs its own bespoke policy set. It doesn’t. Copilot rides on Microsoft Graph, so it inherits whatever Conditional Access you’ve already configured. This piece goes deep on the mechanics: how that inheritance actually works, the three ways admins target Copilot-related services, how to find the exact service principals in your own tenant, what genuinely changes by licence tier, why Copilot Chat is probably already active in your org whether you bought a licence or not, and where Conditional Access is heading next with agent identities.

Why I Built a Report Converter for Microsoft’s Copilot Readiness Assessment
BySevag Tamoukian 22/07/202610/09/2026

Microsoft’s Copilot readiness assessment hands you back a spreadsheet full of accurate findings. Then it sits there, because nobody signing off on the rollout is reading four hundred rows of service, status and priority. That’s not a technical gap, it’s a translation gap, and it’s the same one I keep seeing everywhere in governance work: the finding existed, the decision still didn’t happen. So I built a small open source tool to close it.

Your Copilot, Your Voice: How to Build Custom Instructions That Actually Sound Like You
BySevag Tamoukian 02/07/202610/09/2026

If you’ve been using Microsoft 365 Copilot for more than a week, you’ve probably clocked something. It’s helpful, sure, but it doesn’t sound like you. Left to its own devices, it defaults to a kind of generic, slightly upbeat corporate voice. Competent, polite, and completely interchangeable with everyone else’s Copilot. The good news is the…
