Developers introduction to Copilot Studio

Let’s be honest: building intelligent agents shouldn’t be hard. And with Copilot Studio, it finally isn’t. In this session, Daniel and Albert-Jan take us on a hands-on tour through the art of crafting agents using Copilot Studio — a platform that puts flexibility and control back into the hands of developers. Whether you’re already knee-deep in API endpoints or just starting to explore conversational AI, this demo-packed walkthrough will show how you can go from “hmm, maybe” to “heck yes” in less than an hour.

What you’ll learn

• Leverage your development skills You don’t need to give up your code editor. This session shows how you can bring your dev toolkit — from REST APIs to Azure Functions — into Copilot Studio to create agents that are responsive, capable, and deeply integrated.
• Bring in external knowledge Use Azure AI Search to enrich your agents with domain-specific knowledge. Think: policy documents, product manuals, or your own custom content repositories.
• Add real-world logic Connect to your own APIs and business logic to turn your agents from helpful into critical. We’ll show how to set up actions, call external services, and orchestrate multi-step interactions that go beyond Q&A.
