Your company probably has more AI agents than you think. One customer believed they had a couple of hundred. They had 3,000.

In this episode of Guardians of M365 Governance, Joy, Christian and I discuss why AI readiness is never "done" and how to govern agents, not just content. Joy shows a live demo of Orchestry's new agents dashboard (phase one), covering Copilot Studio, Agent Builder and SharePoint agents.

🔎 What we cover:

Why AI readiness needs continuous governance, not a 3–6 month project
Agent inventory, growth trends and risk indicators (autonomous agents, blast radius)
Environment strategy for agents: Dev, UAT, Production and a separate hosting environment
Grounding sources: making sure risky agents only use AI-ready content with labels and DLP
Bringing shadow AI and non-Microsoft agents into the ecosystem (Agent 365) instead of blocking them
Cost governance: Copilot Credits, GitHub credits, the licensing changes and why throttling experimentation backfires
SharePoint skills: what's often overlooked and why training matters
The real challenge: mindset, skills and new roles such as AI adoption lead and agentic service owner

✅ Key takeaway: you can't govern what you can't see. Start with the inventory, prioritize by risk, and keep cost and culture in the picture.
