Copilot Agents & Automation
Most people don't know these features exist. Custom agents, the Researcher, Power Automate integration – this is where Copilot goes from assistant to autonomous teammate.
You don't know what you don't know.
Microsoft ships new Copilot features faster than anyone can keep up. Agents, the Researcher, Copilot Studio, Power Automate integrations – most of it goes completely unnoticed by regular users.
This course maps the frontier. It shows you what's possible right now, what's coming next, and – critically – when to use Copilot versus when to use a proper agent or automation tool.
What You'll Learn
Beyond the basics
The Researcher agent
Multi-source analysis across your entire M365 environment. Pull insights from emails, documents, Teams chats, and SharePoint in one query.
Building custom Copilot agents (no coding required)
Create AI assistants tailored to your team's specific needs. A client briefing agent, an onboarding assistant, a project status bot – all without writing a line of code.
Automate repetitive workflows
Connect Copilot to Power Automate. When an email arrives, extract the data, update the spreadsheet, send a Teams notification – automatically.
Real examples: weekly report, client briefing, expense tracker
Three complete agent builds you can replicate in your own environment. From concept to working agent in minutes.
