Everyone is talking about agents. Build an agent. Deploy an agent. Replace everything with agents. And at the end, agents start being annoying! What happens when your organization ends up with 100, 200, 500 or even 1000 agents? Welcome to the reality of agent sprawl. As Microsoft Copilot Studio makes it easier than ever to create agents, organizations face a new challenge: governance, cost control, discoverability, and user adoption. While agents excel at answering questions and providing conversational access to information, they are not always the best solution for business processes, decision-making, or operational workflows. But that's not all: Suddenly, agents stop working because updates have been installed in the background that break agent functionality. Suddenly, report uploads to SharePoint no longer work. Suddenly, the agent stops triggering in the background. And that's when things get really annoying and frustrating. In this session, we'll challenge the assumption that every problem needs an agent. Using real-world scenarios from Microsoft 365 and Copilot Studio, we'll explore when an app is the better choice, why dashboards still outperform chat experiences for many business decisions, and how organizations can avoid uncontrolled growth in agent deployments and AI consumption costs. Most importantly, we'll show how Microsoft is quietly giving apps a second life. Far from being obsolete, modern Microsoft 365 apps provide structured experiences, visual insights, governance capabilities, and predictable costs that many business scenarios still require. Join this session to learn how to build managed apps in Copilot Studio, choose the right experience for the right audience, and make technology work for people instead of forcing people to work around technology. And boy, if you are a Werder Bremen or football fan in general, we have a big managed app surprise for you!

Your Agent Works. But Would It Pass an Audit?

agents

Building an agent that works is surprisingly easy. Proving that it should be allowed to work is much harder. European regulations such as DORA and the EU AI Act introduce requirements around risk management, accountability, access, resilience, traceability, human oversight and evidence. But these requirements don’t arrive as a neat list of Copilot Studio settings. Architects and developers are left with a much harder question: what does a regulatory requirement actually mean for the way we design, deploy and operate an agent? This matters even more when agents stop answering questions and start taking actions. An agent can access organizational data, call connectors and APIs, trigger workflows and make changes in business systems. At that point, authentication, permissions, logging and monitoring are no longer just platform configuration. They become part of your compliance architecture. In this session, we will take real regulatory requirements and translate them into concrete technical controls for Copilot Studio agents. We will map requirements to Power Platform data policies and Managed Environments, Microsoft Entra agent identities, Microsoft Agent 365, Purview auditing and DSPM for AI, Compliance Manager, and continuous compliance controls. Instead of another compliance checklist, we will build a practical chain: Regulation → Requirement → Architecture Decision → Technical Control → Evidence You will leave with a reusable approach for deciding what must be controlled, where that control should live in the Microsoft stack, and how to prove that it actually works when someone eventually asks the uncomfortable question: "Can you show me the evidence?"
