Hands-On Microsoft 365 Pulse – Weekly Updates (Week 13)

By João Ferreira Apr 1, 2026 Pulse 0 Comments

I’ve just come back from a week on the Microsoft campus, where a lot of upcoming Microsoft 365 updates were shared in the context of the MVP program. Most of it is still under NDA, so I can’t go into details yet, but as features begin to roll out publicly, I’ll cover them here.

Last week was also a special one for us as a family. Both my wife and I are Microsoft MVPs, and we work with SharePoint every day. When the second SharePoint Hackathon came around, we decided to participate together. We won the category for Best SharePoint Mobile Experience and were finalists for Best SharePoint Design, if you want to see what we’ve built watch the video below.

There is one SharePoint update I do want to highlight from last week; the new AI‑assisted site creation experience. It allows users to describe a business need, refine a site plan through chat, and then create the site based on the natural language input.

As always, there’s a bunch more to explore — check out the full list below. Let me know in the comments what your favorite update was this week, or what you’re hoping to see next. I’m curious to hear what caught your eye!
