Copilot Agent Kit prerequisites

This article outlines the licensing, capacity, and dependencies required to deploy the Copilot Agent Kit by using Power Platform. Follow these prerequisites to ensure your environment is ready for installation.

Mandatory requirements

Note

You can install Copilot Agent Kit in the same environment where you host your custom agents, but this rule isn't a requirement.

Tip

For more information about licensing, consult the applicable licensing guide:

Required dependencies

Copilot Agent Kit uses advanced components from the Power Platform Creator Kit. Deploy Creator Kit before you deploy Copilot Agent Kit.

Optional requirements

  • AI Builder/Copilot credits: To use AI Builder capabilities, you need Copilot Credits (first AI Builder credits if any). These credits are consumed when you use prompts with the Test Automation, Conversation Analyzer, Prompt Advisor, Agent Review Tool, Agent Value Summary, and Rubrics refinement features of Copilot Agent Kit.

    • Test Automation: Use AI Builder to analyze an AI-generated answer and compare it with a sample answer or validation instructions. Each test case of type "Generative Answers" consumes an average of 50 credits (based on our testing). Exact consumption varies based on the length of the test utterance, response, and other factors.

    • Conversation Analyzer: The analysis process uses AI Builder custom prompts and consumes a varying number of credits.

    • Prompt Advisor: Each iteration consumes an average of 120 credits (based on our testing), but can vary based on the length of the prompt being analyzed and other factors.

    • Rubrics refinement: Rubrics refinement runs and the actual refinement uses AI Builder custom prompts and consumes credits.

    Learn more about AI prompt licensing and how Copilot Credits and AI Builder credits work.

  • Azure Application Insights: This integration is required for additional telemetry details for AI-generated answers. Learn more about integrating Azure Application Insights with Microsoft Copilot Studio.
