Baltic Summit 2026 was all about AI & Power Platform

Baltic Summit 2026 was all about AI & Power Platform

Baltic Summit 2026 just wrapped up in Gdynia, Poland, and I’m still working through my notes. Three days, a packed agenda, and honestly one of the best-organized conferences I’ve attended in a while. Registration was smooth, and the tracks were easy to follow. By the end, the whole event felt well thought out from start to finish. The overall theme across sessions was clear: AI, Copilot, Power Platform solutions, governance, and security. All of it was viewed from a dozen…

Never Pay for the Same Dataverse Mistake Twice

Never Pay for the Same Dataverse Mistake Twice

GitHub Copilot showed me something new: GPT-5.6 Sol, plus a 30% discount. Yes, and I couldn’t resist trying it on a Dataverse task. Why not see the new model in action, right? As a result, that decision burned nearly a month’s budget before the task was even done. But here’s the thing: the expensive part isn’t the story worth telling. What came out of it was a GitHub Copilot custom skill – a reusable file that captures everything the agent…

One Task Table to Rule Them All

One Task Table to Rule Them All

The backlog from my last post had one line I couldn’t ignore: status transitions weren’t implemented yet. Tables, views, the model-driven app – all done. The missing piece was the Dataverse Agent Task contract itself. In other words, the part that lets Power Platform and Azure talk to each other. That wasn’t a bug. It was a missing seam. Without an explicit contract, two teams can’t build independently. They can’t test independently either. Remember my post about project decomposition? I…

My Son Built an App with No IT Background

My Son Built an App with No IT Background

“Dad, can we build an app with AI?” That question started a spec-driven development experiment I’ll never forget. He was seventeen. No coding background, no CS classes. Just frustration with the school carpool situation: thirty parents in a WhatsApp thread, nobody knowing who was driving, every morning a small disaster. I said yes. But on one condition: we use GitHub 🌱 SpecKit. He looked puzzled. Fair enough. So I explained: it’s a framework for Spec-Driven Development. Describe the problem the…

Spec-Driven Development: When the Spec Is Too Big

Spec-Driven Development: When the Spec Is Too Big

I had a spec, I had GitHub Copilot Pro+! A new billing period with fresh credits has begun. So I started to refurbish my Expense Management system. In detail, I was building with a fresh spec that should rebuild the whole system in one run. And yes, that was the problem. Everything looked good. Copilot credits were melting away during implementation. Some hours later I had my first results. The Azure portal showed me what was there. Content Understanding analyzers:…

Spec-Driven Development: The Methodology Behind the Magic

Spec-Driven Development: The Methodology Behind the Magic

Most developers I know have been here. They type a detailed prompt into their AI agent. The output looks right. They run it, tweak a detail, run it again – and somewhere around the third attempt, the whole thing has quietly shifted into something else. The problem is not the AI. The problem is the approach. Spec-driven development changes that. Before a single file gets created, you define intent. You build a shared understanding for your business stakeholders, your architect,…

Stop Coding. Start Building from Specs.

Stop Coding. Start Building from Specs.

I haven’t written a line of code since January. Not because I couldn’t. I stopped because spec-driven development showed me I was spending time on the wrong part of the job. Today, it is easy to type “build me XYZ” and get code in seconds. I did that too. Sometimes the result looked great. Then I ran the same prompt again and got something different. Logic shifted. Edge cases disappeared. The output stopped being predictable. The turning point came when…

Hey Code, Specify!

Hey Code, Specify!

I was deep into spec-driven development with GitHub’s Spec Kit. Writing detailed specifications. Describing what I wanted AI agents to build. And I was typing. A lot. My fingers became the bottleneck. Then I thought: why am I typing when I could be talking? I opened Copilot Chat and looked for a microphone. Nothing. Turns out there’s a small extension you need: “VS Code Speech for Copilot.” I installed it and the microphone appeared. But then I discovered something better. The…

Building an AI Agent That Generates Test Data

Building an AI Agent That Generates Test Data

Recently, I was creating an agent with the goal to identify potential incidents in Teams community of practice channels. I started building this agent to find problems such as “I need help” and create ServiceNow incidents from its information. Testing it meant feeding realistic support cases into the system. But here’s the problem: real support data contains sensitive information. Project names. Client issues. Internal struggles. You can’t demo that publicly. You can’t even use it safely in testing. This isn’t…

Using AI for Data Correction

Using AI for Data Correction

How do you usually use Generative AI? That’s a question I get asked quite often. Most of the time, my answer is something like this: “I use it to summarize texts. I also draft ideas together with the AI, and it helps me write content more efficiently.” But this is just one piece of the puzzle. In automation scenarios within the Power Platform, I also utilize AI for data correction. Today, I will explain how this process works. In detail,…
