Are you feeling like everyone else knows how to make an AI Agent except you? Have you seen a lot of demos and do you have a lot of ideas, but you just can't find the place to learn the right skills to build agents for your company?

Do you want to build a smart Agent that your team would actually WANT to use? Leveraging all the newest agentic technologies and the very best of Generative AI?

This is the workshop for you! We have been delivering this highly-rated workshop at BC TechDays the last two years, and this year, we are back with even more content and coverage of the latest features in Copilot Studio!

Together, we will build the third generation of Agent BeeCee, your company's new trusty Copilot. Every Batman needs a Robin, and every Business Central professional and company needs an Agent BeeCee.

Agent BeeCee can:
• Act as a first line of support for Business Central functionality based on knowledge sources you specify (Web, Files, SharePoint)
