Design and build multi-agent solutions in Microsoft Copilot Studio

At a glance

Learn to plan, design, and build multi-agent solutions in Microsoft Copilot Studio. You'll learn how to evaluate when multi-agent architectures are appropriate, architect solutions using child agents and connected agents, and implement both patterns to create organized, scalable agent systems.

Prerequisites

  • Ability to create, configure, test, and publish an agent in Microsoft Copilot Studio
  • Familiarity with agent topics, knowledge sources, and tools in Copilot Studio
  • Access to Microsoft Copilot Studio
  • Permissions to create solutions and agents in a Power Platform environment

Modules in this learning path

Design multi-agent solutions in Microsoft Copilot Studio. Decide when a solution needs more than one agent, choose how agents coordinate, and identify implementation options on the standard and GitHub Copilot harnesses.

Note

This module applies to agents powered by the standard harness and the GitHub Copilot harness. The module compares implementation options where they differ. For more information, see Harnesses in Copilot Studio.

Learn to structure complex Copilot Studio agents using child agents. Create focused subagents, configure how they receive tasks and return results, and control when they're invoked to build organized, scalable agent solutions.

Note

Microsoft Copilot Studio has introduced a new experience with updated features, capabilities, and navigation. This module is based on the classic experience. For more information, see Classic vs. new agent experience.

Learn to build multi-agent solutions in Copilot Studio by connecting your orchestrator to existing agents built on Microsoft's agentic platform. Configure connections to Copilot Studio agents, Microsoft Foundry agents, and Microsoft Fabric Data agents, and manage your connected agent ecosystem for accurate orchestration.
