A skill I built and tested on my own vacation is now in the PowerCAT catalog. It watches Teams and email for urgent asks from key people or topics, then pings my personal inbox. I disconnected and missed nothing:

Tried something with Agent 365. My agent runs on an autopilot identity and queries Work IQ, so when I ask "which meetings did you have today?" it returns its own calendar, not mine.
On an autopilot identity the token identifies the agent, not the user, so Work IQ answers as the agent.

I built a React + Azure Functions PWA to plan our family trip to Disneyland Paris: shared timeline, weather-aware scheduling, live ride queues, restaurants, and manual rearranging.
Small project, real use.

I had an AI agent test my event registration form 20+ times via Playwright — different data, complex routing, Excel verification. It found a bug I'd have missed. Playwright + AI agents is a game changer for boring-but-critical testing. 🤖
