Paradoxically, GitHub Copilot CLI + MSFT WorkIQ + Anthropic Opus 4.6 is freakishly good

(Not for everyone of course, because I don't recommend any normies use a command-line interface lol)

A bunch of people thought this is was a really good product, and now think feeding their ideas into a LLM is going to make something great.

Not yet. I'm still "pinky toe in the water" level of usage, because I've got the MSFT WorkIQ hooked in to it and I'm still scared of workfiles getting wiped 😂 So haven't tried any of the other features

Have your tried the rubber duck mode? turn on experimental in copilot cli and ask it to critique its work. It’ll automatically cross check against its output against another model.

For the last few months I've watched a bunch of Microsoft engineers explore what they could do with this CLI, to include building an MCP server to connect to WorkIQ, and then having a bit of fun. youtu.be/q8wGUe3L3hs is one example from @scott.hanselman.com

Copilot's Work/Web toggle is gone (June 2026). Replaced by Work IQ.

But Work IQ isn't just a toggle — it's the intelligence layer that grounds answers in your work context automatically.

Which means governance matters more, not less. 👇

Connects are always tedious, but I did something similar by keeping very detailed notes with Obsidian (often augmented by my Copilot CLI agent), and correlating with WorkIQ. I’ve also realized most managers now don’t really read them and instead analyze them with Copilot, so why stress.

558 - WorkIQ started requiring Copilot per usage licensing just to access it outside Microsoft. His take: keep locking down APIs like this and people will find other tools.

I built an agent skill that roasts me based on my work week (using GitHub, X, and WorkIQ MCP servers), and it cracks me up so much. 😆

TD Bank employees face new workplace surveillance as the lender rolls out WorkiQ software to monitor active hours across browsers and meetings. The move signals a broader corporate crackdown on remote workers, meaning hybrid professionals can expect stricter daily scrutiny.
