Business value

You can save time and resources when you use prompts that set logic inside Copilot agents. This means you don't need to do as much manual work, and the prompts are reusable.

Feature details

Using prompts inside Copilot agents allows you to set specific logic to extract and augment information from documents. It helps you do the following:

• Save hours for each Copilot user who won't need to do all the specific data extraction, augmenting and formatting manually.
• Perform the exact same document processing logic for each Copilot user asking for it, in only one or two chat interactions.
• Reuse the prompt on multiple agents, apps, and automated flows.

To use this feature, create a prompt in Power Apps or Power Automate of Copilot Studio. Then, add an input type (for example, image or document). Supported types are PNG, JPG, JPEG or PDF. Now you're ready to include the prompt in a Copilot agent using topics (actions aren't supported yet). Finally, test the agent and publish it when you're ready.

This feature is enabled by default without any admin configuration.
