I was put in a position to start building and deploying copilot agents in our company. I discovered in the first day how unprepared our environment was for anything copilot. The default state when you get licenses and an environment to work in, is the wild west. It's really bad and as is tradition, half cocked and rushed to market. I wrote out pages of notes of things we had to do as a company before even the most simple agents are created for security and governance. I never got the support to implement any changes, so I drug my feet as much as I could on anything I could. For 6 months I successfully never deployed any AI stuff and got out to do full stack dev instead. I created PoC agents, but with hard caveats that none of it was usable in the current state in prod.
Now prices are increasing and our drive to force agentic has softened a little company wide. I like to think that my semi malicious yet justified slow walking saved us a whole shit load of headache and expenses over the next couple of months as the new copilot pricing hits on June 1.
