MICROSOFT AI 路 DAILY BRIEF
Stop chasing Microsoft AI news. Subscribe to it.
Every morning at 09:00 CEST, an automated brief records everything that shipped across the Microsoft 365 ecosystem - the AI stack and the core apps - with status, ship date, and why it matters. If it shipped, it is listed. Silent on the days nothing does.
Free. Official sources only. No sign-up wall.

Why it matters
Each item says what changed and what it means for teams shipping on this.
Deprecations with lead time
Model retirements and breaking changes are flagged before they bite.
EU/EEA data residency
Residency caveats are always carried into the relevant items.
Official sources only
Microsoft Learn, product blogs, release notes, GitHub and NuGet feeds.
Silent on empty days
No news, no post. The feed never pads itself with noise.
The whole M365 surface
Not just the AI stack. Teams, SharePoint, Outlook, the Office apps and admin ship here too.
AI news stays in AI categories
Any Copilot or agent item lands in its AI category, even when it shipped inside Teams or Word. The app categories carry general news only.
A scope that grows on its own
When the brief meets a product it does not cover yet, it adds it, and the new tag appears in the feed's own category catalog. Existing filters keep working.
Three ways to get it
Pick whichever fits how you work. All free.
Read it in the community
The brief lands in #auto-news in the Copilot Studio Hub every morning. Nothing to set up - just join.
Join the DiscordPipe it into your Teams channel
Import a ready-made Power Automate solution - no premium connectors, and it runs entirely in your own tenant. It reads the public feed and posts each item into your channel.
- Download the solution and import it in Power Automate (Solutions - Import solution).
- Set the two connections: RSS (no sign-in) and Microsoft Teams.
- Open Post message and set the recipient, or switch it to a channel.
- Optional: delete the category rows you do not want, or add a trigger condition on the feed title. Then turn the flow on.
Point any reader at the feed
Outlook, Feedly, a Copilot Studio knowledge source, or any RSS/JSON reader. Two formats, same items, and the category catalog is published inside the feed itself.

Questions
Is it really free?
Yes. The feed is public and the Teams solution uses no premium connectors. There is no sign-up wall.
How often does it update?
Once per day, in the morning. The RSS connector polls on its own cycle (about every 30 minutes), so Teams posts shortly after a new item appears.
Does it cover Teams, SharePoint and Outlook too?
Yes. The brief started on the AI stack and now covers the core Microsoft 365 apps as well - Teams, SharePoint and OneDrive, Outlook and Exchange, the Office apps, Viva and Loop, and M365 admin and compliance. Anything Copilot or agent related still lands in its AI category, wherever it shipped.
Will it spam my channel?
No. It only posts when something shipped, and every item carries a category tag, so a channel can subscribe to just the topics it cares about.
Where does the news come from?
Official sources only - Microsoft Learn, product blogs, release notes, and GitHub/NuGet release feeds.
Can I filter topics?
Yes. The Teams solution ships with the full scope on by default; delete a category row, or add a trigger condition on the feed title, to narrow it down. RSS readers can filter on the item category too, and the list of available tags is published in the feed so it stays current as coverage grows.
What is out of scope?
GitHub Copilot, Security Copilot, consumer Windows features, and Azure infrastructure unrelated to Foundry or agents. Dynamics 365 only appears where it touches the covered stack.
