MS365 Copilot agent

Question

Is there training on creating MS365 Copilot agent?

Answer 1

Yes. Several official training resources are available for creating Microsoft 365 Copilot agents.

Key options:

1. Agent Builder in Microsoft 365 Copilot (no-code)
   Use Agent Builder to quickly build declarative agents with natural language:
   • Open the Microsoft 365 Copilot app.
   • Under Agents, select New agent.
   • Either:
     • Describe what the agent should do and let Copilot build it, or
     • Use Configure to set it up manually, or
     • Start from a template for common scenarios.
       Guidance for this approach is in:
   • "Build your own agent with Microsoft 365 Copilot"
   • "Build agents by using Agent Builder in Microsoft 365 Copilot"
   • "Copilot tutorial: Create an agent" and related video tutorials.
2. Microsoft Learn module: Build your first declarative agent using Copilot Studio
   A structured training module that walks through:
   • Designing a declarative agent to solve a business problem.
   • Implementing the agent with custom knowledge.
   • Publishing and using the agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot.
     See the module "Build your first declarative agent for Microsoft 365 Copilot by using Copilot Studio".
3. Microsoft Learn learning path with Visual Studio Code & Teams Toolkit
   The learning path MS-4010 - Extend Microsoft 365 Copilot with declarative agents by using Visual Studio Code covers:
   • Introduction to declarative agents for Microsoft 365 Copilot.
   • Building the first declarative agent with Visual Studio Code.
   • Adding actions via API plugins, Adaptive Cards, authentication, and Copilot connectors.
4. Additional extensibility guidance
   For more advanced scenarios (bringing custom agents into Copilot using the Agents Toolkit and SDK), see "Bring your agents into Microsoft 365 Copilot" which explains how to:
   • Use the Microsoft 365 Agents Toolkit and Echo Agent sample.
   • Test and deploy agents with Visual Studio or Visual Studio Code.

These resources together provide both introductory and intermediate training paths for creating and extending Microsoft 365 Copilot agents.
