Session Abstract

AI is evolving — and it’s time to think beyond simple chatbots. In this session, learn how to design Autonomous AI Agents using Microsoft Copilot Studio that not only respond to user queries, but also proactively complete tasks, orchestrate workflows, and act with context and purpose. We’ll explore how Copilot Studio now supports multi-step reasoning, adaptive planning, and integrations across Microsoft 365 and external APIs — unlocking a new generation of agents that go beyond conversations to drive real action. Topics we’ll cover: What makes an AI Agent autonomous (vs a traditional chatbot) Building multi-step reasoning and action planning into your Copilot workflows Integrating Copilot Agents with Power Platform, Dataverse, and external systems Real-world examples of Autonomous Agents in enterprises and government Whether you're looking to automate internal processes, client services, or complex decision-making, this session will help you move from reactive chatbots to proactive AI agents.
