Summary

Completed

In this module, you explored how to extend a Copilot Studio agent to automate tasks in applications that have no API or connector, using the Contoso HR attendance scenario as a through-line.

What you learned

  • Computer use lets an agent interact with web browsers and desktop applications visually — no API or changes to the target system required.
  • Evaluating fit means choosing computer use only when UI interaction is the only automation path, with informed expectations about success rates and security considerations.
  • Configuration includes defining tool identity, natural-language instructions, machine selection, credentials, and access control.
  • Monitoring starts with the activity map and transcript view, and extends to the Dataverse logging panel for deeper debugging and audit support.
