Project Cortex (Skynet?)
Project Cortex is the newest AI-powered service released by Microsoft. At a high level, it creates a knowledge network for your organization and can deliver relevant knowledge to people though topic cards and pages in the apps that they are already using every day.

Teams
Pop out windows for chat and meetings. A long awaited feature is being rolled out some time in early 2020.
Private Channels. Maybe the most requested feature in Teams. These are available NOW!
Live Captions AND Video Backgrounds
Power Apps
New name (notice the space) which now fits all of the other Power Platform application names.
Enhanced Formula Bar. Is any explanation needed here? The previous version constantly was in the way of your app making screen and the autocomplete list was hard to see and navigate.
Environment Variables. Use these when apps or Flows need different configuration across different environments. They can act as input parameters to reference within solution components.
Embed Power App in Teams as a Top Level App. I love this feature, especially if you have an organization wide Power App that needs to be accessed quickly.
Power Apps Monitor. See what users are clicking and be able to pinpoint connection failures or why your performance is dragging.
Power Automate
Microsoft Flow is no longer! Welcome in Power Automate and give it a round of applause for a list of brand new features such as RPA (Robotic Process Automation)
Robotic Process Automation – UI Flows. Available now in Public Preview, create a flow that automates a process in a point-and-click experience.
Virtual Agents. Azure Cognitive Services and Bot Framework fully integrated and just a few clicks away.
