Extending Microsoft 365 Copilot is a great way of getting your custom applications in the hands of business users, because you're making it available right where they're working. But there's quite a bit of setup involved in getting up and running - or rather there was. By using the Microsoft 365 Agents Toolkit we can quickly get a Copilot Declarative or Custom Engine Agent built and delivering awesomeness, because the tooling does all the configuration grunt work, leaving us to focus on what we do best - code!
