I ask Chat GPT! 😁

I subscribe to a couple of the Microsoft YouTube product channels that give monthly updates … if there is anything major / interesting released then it will normally appear in a few Podcasts.

That's great to hear @IanMcLav and it sounds like those resources are serving you well. Are you able to share the YouTube channels and podcasts you find most useful?

I'm very fortunate to be responsible for curating AI and automation updates to present to our internal AI Insiders community; these updates are also posted here on the community site (links to these videos can be found at the bottom of this post). Community is all about sharing so with that in mind, I've listed the resources I find most helpful for keeping up to date with the frequent product updates, releases and announcements below:

As you can see, there's quite a few separate sources I check but in general I use the MS blogs and LinkedIn to keep up to date. Hoping some of the above can also provide useful for yourself.

The two Automation and AI Update recordings previously mentioned are posted to this site below. Let me know what you think. 👍
