🍪Build an AI Agent Before the Cookies Run Out!

DallasMAC Live Build 🍪: Build an AI Agent Before the Cookies Run Out!
No code. No hour of slides. Just a blank screen, data/docs, and minutes not hours to turn it into a working AI agent live, in front of you, cookie in hand.

Every company has a monster policy document and an inbox full of the same questions anyway. "Can I expense that?" "What's the hotel cap?" "Is business class ever okay?" This month, we're building an agent that answers all of it using Microsoft Copilot Agent Builder: the no-code way to create AI agents right inside Microsoft 365 Copilot.
In this session, you'll see us build "Policy Pal" LIVE - an agent that answers employee questions from a real policy document, cites its sources, and knows when to say "I don't know." Then we'll pull back the curtain on gotchas & considerations👀

You'll leave knowing how to:

• Build and share a grounded Q&A agent from scratch (yes, you - no coding knowledge required)
• Write instructions that keep your agent honest and on-topic
• Dodge the gotchas before they bite you
• Spot when Agent Builder is enough and when it's time to level up to Copilot Studio

Who's this for? Everyone. Business users, citizen developers, IT pros, and the AI-curious. If you can write an email, you can build this agent.

🍪 Fresh cookies, water & zero pre-recorded demos
Grab a seat, grab a cookie, bring a colleague — and leave with a demo you can rebuild at work.

RSVP now — the agents are unlimited, but the cookies aren't! 🚀

⚠️Environments & Licensing: We do not provide environments for this session — you're responsible for your own Microsoft 365 tenant and licensing.
Important: Copilot Agent Builder requires a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Unlike Copilot Studio, there is no standalone free trial for Microsoft 365 Copilot, so:
✅ Have an M365 Copilot license through work? Perfect! You can follow along hands-on (subject to your org's settings; some tenants restrict agent creation or sharing).
✅ No license? You're still 100% welcome! This is a Live Build. we'll build everything on screen, and you'll leave with the full recipe to run in your own environment later.
💡 We'll share options for getting access, including trial tenant guidance and pay-as-you-go/metered options where available but be aware trials expire and continued use requires a paid license.
