Session Abstract

Feeling stuck with the limitations of the Copilot Studio? Searching for a solution that allows you to have full control of your agent, in every technical aspect? During this workshop, we'll guide you into creating your own custom engine agent, giving you key pointers for handling trickier topics such as authentication & deployment. With M365 Agents toolkit, you'll learn how you can make an agent available in M365 Copilot chat or Teams, and enrich it with context-aware features to enable it to function naturally in chats as well as channels. On top of that, we'll add orchestration features from Agent Framework, one of the best options for building agentic workflows. You'll see how to enable your Large Language Models to query data from different sources like SharePoint or AI Search using Microsoft Foundry, and how to enable multi-agent workflows between your agent and a Copilot Studio agent or a Foundry agent. At the end of the day you'll know how to get the most out of these tools, and have all the necessary knowledge & materials to start your own custom engine agent project - so get ready to code! 3 takeaways: 1 - Using M365 Agents SDK & Agent Framework - how to hit the ground running? 2 - Understand the whole process of deploying a custom engine agent, from local instance to cloud hosting, with and without Microsoft Foundry! 3 - Gain insight on what to use when, and what real-world business value a pro-code agent can give you
