Building Agents with Microsoft Copilot Studio: From Zero to Autonomous

Agenda:
6:00 PM - 7:30 PM - Building Agents with Microsoft Copilot Studio: From Zero to Autonomous

Abstract:
AI agents are transforming how organizations work — and Microsoft Copilot Studio puts that power in your hands without requiring a single line of code. In this session, we'll explore how to build, configure, and deploy intelligent agents that can answer questions, take actions, and operate autonomously on behalf of your users.
We'll walk through creating your first agent from natural language descriptions, connecting knowledge sources, and wiring up actions via Power Automate and MCP (Model Context Protocol) connectors. We'll then level up to autonomous agents — configuring triggers so your agent acts proactively in response to real-world events without waiting to be asked. We'll also cover publishing to Teams, SharePoint, WhatsApp, and more, as well as how to measure agent performance using the built-in analytics and evaluation tools.
Whether you're a maker, developer, or IT pro, this session will give you a practical path from concept to production-ready agent.
Takeaways:

• Build a working agent in Copilot Studio using only natural language
• Connect agents to enterprise data via MCP, connectors, and Knowledge Sources
• Configure autonomous triggers for proactive, event-driven automation
• Publish to Teams, SharePoint, and WhatsApp channels
• Measure quality with agent evaluations and analytics themes
