Turn Any App Into an Agent Experience
Most employees don’t want “another chatbot.” They want their existing apps to get faster, smarter, and safer—without changing how they work. In this session, you’ll see a practical pattern for agent-enabling Power Platform solutions so users stay in familiar UI (forms, buttons, approvals), while an agent handles intent, validation, and the next best action behind the scenes.
We’ll walk through an end-to-end scenario: a live app experience, the agent orchestration powering it, and the guardrails that keep it production-ready—zoned governance, environment routing, group/rule-based controls, limited sharing, and monitoring/alerts so IT sees issues before the business does. You’ll leave with a repeatable blueprint to modernize line-of-business apps into dependable agent experiences—without turning everything into a chat interface.
Smart Forms, Smarter Decisions: Copilot Studio Agents Inside Model-Driven Apps
Model-driven apps are great at capturing data—but the real productivity win is helping users make better decisions while they’re on the form. In this demo-driven session, you’ll learn how to embed a Copilot Studio agent directly into a model-driven app using a Power Apps Component Framework (PCF) control and the Agent API.
We’ll walk through a practical pattern: the PCF control raises a custom event (Xrm.Copilot.executeEvent()), passes record context (ID, selected columns, user/environment signals), and renders the agent’s response back in the form—as concise recommendations, summaries, or next-step actions. You’ll also see reliability and security techniques that keep this production-ready: least-privilege context, async calls that don’t block form load, human-in-the-loop writeback, and telemetry so you can monitor success/failure and improve safely.
You’ll leave with a repeatable architecture and a working sample you can adapt to scenarios like triage, case handling, eligibility checks, and guided data entry.
Governing Enterprise AI Agents at Scale
AI agents are moving from experiments to enterprise workloads—and governance is what determines whether adoption scales safely or creates risk. In this session, we’ll walk through practical governance patterns for Microsoft Copilot Studio and the broader Power Platform, focused on visibility, control, and repeatable rollout.
You’ll learn how to establish clear guardrails around access, sharing, data connectivity, and lifecycle management so teams can innovate without creating security gaps or operational surprises. We’ll cover a zoned approach (green/yellow/red) and how to apply it using managed platform capabilities like environment strategy, policies, and deployment controls—grounded in real-world lessons from large-scale adoption.
Copilot Studio: MCP Mastery
Did you know Model Context Protocol (MCP) can turbocharge your AI agents in Copilot Studio? It’s not just a tool—it’s your ticket to seamless integrations and smarter workflows. In this session, we’ll dive into how MCP connects APIs and knowledge servers effortlessly, keeps agents updated, and locks in enterprise-grade security.
Through quick demos, we’ll show you how MCP simplifies development and powers real-time data access. Ready to supercharge your Copilot Studio game? Join us to see MCP in action and make your AI projects faster and sharper!
Key Takeaways:
Simplify integrations with MCP.
Automate updates and boost security.
Get hands-on with real-time AI solutions.
Zero-Disruption Cleanup: Moving Apps Out of the Default Environment Without Breaking Anything
Ever inherited a messy Default environment and wondered how to “clean it up” without causing outages, angry users, or a flood of support tickets? In this fast-paced, demo-rich session, we’ll walk step by step through a real-world cleanup and migration approach that moves live Power Apps, flows, and dependencies out of the Default environment with minimal disruption—while putting proper guardrails in place so it doesn’t happen again.
You’ll see how solutions, connection references, environment variables, pipelines, and a simple cutover plan come together to:
Discover and triage what’s actually running in Default (and what can be safely retired)
Package and migrate apps and flows into the right environments without breaking connections
Handle gotchas like owners, shared connections, Dataverse vs non-Dataverse assets, and “mystery dependencies”
Cut over safely with validation, rollback options, and a comms plan that keeps the business calm
Prevent relapse using Managed Platform patterns like environment routing, groups/rules, and sharing controls
I’ll share lessons learned, common failure points, and practical techniques you can apply immediately—whether you’re tidying up one business-critical app or trying to tame an entire tenant. You’ll leave with a repeatable playbook to clean the Default environment confidently and keep it clean.
Zoned Governance: CoE vs Managed Platform
Most organisations start with the CoE Starter Kit and finally get visibility: what exists, who built it, and where the risks might be. Then adoption kicks in… and governance becomes reactive. The default environment turns into a junk drawer, ownership gets blurry, and the “process” is basically chasing people after something breaks.
This session is the upgrade path. It’s not a feature comparison and it’s not “CoE vs Managed Platform” as a debate. It’s a practical operating model that scales—especially now that agents make it easier than ever for solutions to spread fast.
I’ll walk through a zoned governance approach (Green / Yellow / Red) and show how to map it to the platform: use environment routing to give makers a personal “OneDrive for innovation,” apply environment groups and rules to enforce guardrails consistently (sharing limits, AI controls, connector boundaries), and use pipelines/approvals so good ideas can move from dev to test to production without chaos. We’ll also cover what changes when the asset is an agent: blast radius, monitoring/alerts, test/evals, and why “it worked once” isn’t a release strategy.
You’ll leave with a clear division of responsibilities (what CoE should keep doing vs what the Managed Platform should enforce), plus a rollout plan you can start small with and scale across the tenant.
