When Copilot Understands Your Business: Business Applications in Work IQ
Copilot already understands the flow of work across documents, emails, meetings, and people. But some of the most important context in an organization lives somewhere else: in business applications such as Dynamics 365 and Power Platform, where customers, opportunities, cases, processes, and business rules live.
In this session, we’ll explore how Business Applications in Work IQ brings this business context into the intelligence layer powering Copilot and agents. We’ll look at how agents can understand not just the data, but its business meaning; how that understanding can be reused across Copilot and agents instead of rebuilt for every experience; and how agents can use trusted business context to answer questions and take governed actions. The session will combine the product vision with practical examples and demos, showing what this means for business users, makers, developers, and administrators building the next generation of intelligent business applications.
Under the Hood: Dataverse, Copilot and Work IQ
What makes business data useful to an agent? In this session, the architects and engineers building Business Applications in Work IQ unpack how Dataverse gives Copilot and agents the data, context, and skills to understand your business and take action. Explore the semantic models and search that deliver targeted, curated answers; reusable business skills that capture how your organization works; and agentic search and actions that let agents reason over business information and act on it. See how these capabilities fit together, the architectural decisions behind them, and what to consider when designing for enterprise scale.
Under the Hood: Dataverse, Copilot and Work IQ
Where does the intelligence behind Copilot or Work IQ actually come from? This session goes under the hood of the Dataverse-powered intelligence that makes business data agent-ready. Walk through how Dataverse grounds agents in business data and meaning: the semantic models and search that deliver targeted, curated answers beyond raw tables and metadata; reusable business skills that capture how your organization works; and how agentic search and actions let agents reason over and act on that intelligence. See how these layers combine to deliver the Dataverse-powered intelligence Work IQ brings to every agent, and how to design for it at enterprise scale.
