EP32 | Agents, Memory, and the Demo That Didn't Need a Design Tool

This week Richard, David, and Cyrus cover agent governance, Copilot adoption pressures, AI memory architecture, and a prototyping workflow that bypassed design tools entirely. David walks through two tools from Merrill Fernando for querying Microsoft Graph via MCP, Microsoft's open source Agent Governance Toolkit and its response to the OWASP agentic AI top ten, and MemPalace, an AI memory project with an unexpected connection to The Fifth Element.Richard looks at what the Copilot adoption numbers mean going into Microsoft's Q3 earnings, shares a prototyping workflow that produced a high-fidelity demo using GitHub Copilot and Claude instead of PowerPoint or Visio, and notes the Sentinel portal migration deadline has moved again to March 2027. Cyrus covers the security updates at pace, closing with a striking data point: 61% of C-suite leaders surveyed say their AI model assets or data have already been compromised.BlogThe Microsoft Cloud BlogYouTubeCloudy with a Chance of Insights - YouTubeSoicialsTwitter / XBlueSkyLinkedInThreadsFacebookMusicNull Invocation: Monochrome PulseMonochrome Pulse on SoundcloudFor all the links to the articles etc, please visit the companion blog site.The Microsoft Cloud Blog
