AI agents are rapidly becoming the front door to business applications—but building effective, enterprise ready agents require more than just turning on AI. This full day, hands on workshop is designed to take participants from zero to a working, production ready agent using Copilot Studio, with a strong focus on selecting the right tools, applying best practices, and avoiding common pitfalls.

Participants will learn how Copilot Studio fits within the broader Microsoft ecosystem, how to ground agents in business data using Dataverse, and how to enable agents to take real actions through Power Automate. The workshop emphasizes AI native agent design, covering conversational flows, prompt strategies, tool invocation, and authentication patterns. Attendees will also explore when to extend agents using Microsoft 365 Copilot and when Azure AI capabilities are required for advanced logic.

By the end of the day, attendees will have built, tested, and deployed an intelligent agent, gained a practical decision framework for tool selection, and left with proven design patterns they can immediately apply in their own environments.
