Summary
In this module, you learned how to choose the right development approach for building custom AI agent solutions and generative AI applications. You explored the strengths, limitations, and requirements of Copilot Studio, Teams SDK, Microsoft 365 Agents SDK, and Foundry Agent Service.
Key takeaways:
- Copilot Studio is ideal for low-code makers and IT pros to build guided, conversational agents for business process automation and customer-facing scenarios.
- Teams SDK is best for pro-code developers building advanced, Teams-centric agents with deep integration and custom logic.
- Microsoft 365 Agents SDK enables multi-channel, enterprise-grade agent solutions that can operate across Microsoft 365 Copilot, Teams, web, and custom apps.
- Microsoft Foundry and Foundry Agent Service provide a scalable, flexible platform for commercial generative AI applications and multi-agent solutions with advanced orchestration and integration.
- The M365 Copilot APIs, Semantic Kernel, and Microsoft Agent Framework provide additional capabilities for orchestration and integration.
- The right development path depends on your business objectives, data sources, workflow complexity, user experience needs, and available development resources. Many solutions require a combination of tools and platforms.
By understanding these options, you can select the most effective approach to deliver value and innovation with custom AI agents in your organization.
