Course Overview
This course prepares learners to implement production-ready Copilot Studio agents and multi-agent solutions capable of sophisticated reasoning, workflow automation, and enterprise integration. Learners design agent architectures, configure advanced behaviors, integrate agents with external systems, and manage testing, deployment, monitoring, and application lifecycle management. These advanced solutions enable organizations to automate complex, cross-system workflows and deliver higher-value, domain-specific outcomes.
Who Should Attend
This course is designed for advanced builders and professional developers who want to design, extend, and integrate Copilot Studio agents. Your goal is to automate real business processes by connecting agents to enterprise data, systems, and services—while applying sound design, security, governance, and responsible AI practices. You should already have hands-on experience building agents in Copilot Studio, an intermediate understanding of generative AI concepts, proficiency working with REST APIs, and familiarity with the broader Microsoft cloud platform.
