Copilot Chronicles, May 2026: Build Your Own Copilot Cockpit -- Running Your Work Through Agentic Services

What if you could run your entire business from a single command line, chat window, or AI-powered IDE — connecting your CRM, email, documents, and data without switching between ten different apps?

In this episode of Copilot Chronicles, host Will Hawkins walks through what's being called the "Copilot Cockpit" — a practical framework for running your business operations through agentic AI services at three levels of autonomy. Starting with Claude Desktop connected to Dynamics CRM, Dataverse, and Office through MCP servers, Will demonstrates how anyone — not just developers — can orchestrate their business tools through a single conversational interface. From there, he moves into Visual Studio Code with GitHub Copilot agent mode, showing how you can run agents that handle real work inside your development environment. Finally, he takes it to the terminal with GitHub Copilot CLI in agent mode, putting tasks on autopilot to run in the background while you focus on higher-value work.

Whether you're a business leader, consultant or developer, this session will show you that the cockpit isn't a future concept — it's available right now, and it changes how work gets done.
