Imagine a workspace where productivity flows smoothly and improves continuously. In the era of generative AI, organizations and employees are experiencing unprecedented enhancements in efficiency and creativity. Generative AI systems can automate routine tasks, freeing up valuable time for employees to focus on more strategic initiatives. These intelligent assistants analyze vast amounts of data to provide actionable insights, helping teams make informed decisions swiftly. Furthermore, they assist in content creation, data analysis, and even customer interactions, ensuring that businesses can operate more effectively and adapt to the ever-evolving market demands. This technological advancement not only optimizes workflows but also empowers employees to innovate and achieve their full potential, ultimately driving success and growth within the organization. Microsoft 365 Copilot is your AI assistant, and Copilot Studio is where you easily create and manage agents – think of these as the new apps for an AI-powered world. Agents connect to your organization’s knowledge and data sources, to automate and execute business processes, working alongside or on behalf of a person, team, or organization. Agents range from simple, prompt-and-response agents to more advanced, fully autonomous agents. We envision a workplace where every organization will have agents, working on behalf of individuals, teams, or functions. What is Copilot Studio agent builder? The Copilot Studio agent builder is a low-code platform that enables users to build custom agents directly within Microsoft 365 Copilot Business Chat (BizChat). This powerful tool allows users to create intelligent agents that can automate tasks, provide valuable insights, and enhance overall productivity. The agent builder offers an intuitive user interface, with seamless integration with various data sources, and quick deployment options. This tool allows you to describe your agent, create, test, and deploy it, making it accessible even to individuals with minimal technical expertise. Key Features Ease of Use: The agent builder is designed for users with minimal coding experience. With its intuitive interface, you can create agents by simply describing the type of agent you want to build and configuring its settings. Customization: You can customize your agent by editing its name, description, and instructions. Additionally, you can add SharePoint sites and documents that your agent should reference, as well as starter prompts to guide its interactions. Integration: The agents built with Copilot Studio can be integrated into various Microsoft 365 applications, including Microsoft Teams, BizChat, and more. This ensures that your agents are accessible wherever you need them. Scalability: The platform supports the creation of knowledge-only agents, with additional capabilities such as image generation coming soon. This allows you to scale your agents' functionality as your business needs evolve. How to get started To help showcase what’s possible with agents created using Copilot Studio agent builder, we have made available agents, pre-built for you, like Career Coach, Prompt Coach and Writing Coach. You can use them as a starting point in creating agents, connect to your knowledge sources and improve your business workflows. Or you can create your own agent. To get started with agent builder. Access BizChat: Go to BizChat experience in Teams, Microsoft365.com/Copilot, or other Microsoft 365 apps. Create an agent: Select "Create an agent" and describe the type of agent you want to build.
