Same thinking at every level. The difference is how much of my time you want on your actual business.

Grounded AI

AI underperforms because of the information underneath it, not the model.

Every stalled Copilot pilot I get called into has the same shape. The licences are paid for, the demo looked great, and in the real tenant it gives confident wrong answers. That's not a capability gap. It's duplicate sites, files in six places, permissions nobody has looked at in years, and processes that were never written down. Fix the information and the process first, and AI on top of it stops being a gamble. That's the whole idea, and it's what the newsletter, the Assessment and the Concierge are all built on.

Who I am

Twenty years in the Microsoft ecosystem. In the day to day, not commentating on it.

I'm Daniel Anderson, an independent consultant in Melbourne. Microsoft MVP for Copilot and SharePoint, which is a rarer pairing than it should be. Most AI consultants have never built a SharePoint site. Most SharePoint consultants haven't built an agent. I do both, and everything I write about is running in my own business and in client work right now.
