🎉 Hey everyone! Big things are happening at Copilot Academy! 🚀 We’re currently giving Copilot Academy a shiny new refresh ✨. That does mean a little extra downtime—about one more week—but trust us, it’ll be so worth it. Once we’re back, every class will be fully loaded with all videos uploaded and ready to go 📚🎬 And here’s where it gets spicy 🌶️…We’re rolling into a mountain of brand‑new training with the release of Claude and Cowork inside Copilot, along with deep dives into all areas of Copilot and AI. Think bigger, better, and smarter workflows everywhere 🤖⚡ A small heads‑up on access: there’s no longer a free tier. BUT—if you’re already part of the community, you’re grandfathered in 🙌 (nice one!). New members can jump in with a 7‑day free trial, then stick around to learn about the latest and greatest Copilot and AI advancements all year long 🌍✨ Honestly… it’s really exciting 😁I cannot wait to show you what’s coming—and we’ll be kicking things up a notch with 30‑minute live webinars, where we’ll learn, experiment, and have a bit of craic together 🎤🔥 Big energy. Big learning. Very exciting times ahead.Watch this space 👀💥

Hii I'm not sure if this is the place to ask but I wanted to know if anyone else is having trouble with helper/child agents, specifically adding inputs and then them not showing up but showing up in the code view, leading to errors and the inability to publish agents?

Hi everyone! 👋 I wanted to share a small update about Copilot Academy. I’ve made a change to the membership tiers and have removed the freemium option. Going forward, there will be a small fee for all new members joining the academy.✅ Anyone who is already on Premium will remain on Premium — nothing changes for you there. You might be wondering why the change?My goal with Copilot Academy has always been to build an active, supportive community — a place where people learn from the classes and demos, ask great questions, share ideas, and help each other grow. At the moment, with around 57 members, I’m seeing very little engagement. From experience, and from seeing this work elsewhere, free communities often struggle to stay active — not because people don’t care, but because there’s no real commitment. So moving forward, I’m introducing a small membership fee. It’s very modest compared to most training courses out there, but my hope is that it encourages members to really use the community — to engage, learn from the demos, and genuinely get value from being part of it. 💡 Thanks so much for being part of the journey — I’m excited about building something meaningful together. 🚀
