Copilot Studio‘s Bigger Brother - Make an AI tooling decision today

copilot-studio
agent-builder
foundry
Agent Builder. Copilot Studio. Microsoft Foundry. Three tools. One mission. And if you've ever stared at that list wondering which one you're actually supposed to use, you're not alone.
Microsoft has been clear about the destination: Agents are the future of business processes. But the path to get there? That part can feel anything but clear. Which tool fits your scenario? Where does one end and another begin? What happens when you pick the wrong one six weeks into a project? These are the questions that keep architects, developers, and decision-makers up at night, and they're exactly what this session is here to answer
We’ll cut through the marketing and get into the detail that actually matters 🤓 Let’s start by building a shared mental model: mapping out what each tool is genuinely designed for, whom it's built for, and where its boundaries sit. From there, we'll move into the signals you need to look out for before you commit to a path: the right questions to ask, the red flags to spot early, and the architecture patterns that hold up in production.
Not in theory, but grounded in the real decisions teams are making today.
And because nothing lands quite like seeing it in action, we'll close out with a comprehensive live demo across both Copilot Studio and Microsoft Foundry. Same business scenario. Different tools. Real trade-offs, visible on screen. You'll see where each approach shines, where it stretches, and what that means for your next agent project.
Whether you're just starting to explore the agentic space, already deep in a Copilot Studio build, or wondering if Foundry is the missing piece for your more complex requirements. Leave with a clear, confident picture of the tooling Microsoft offers today, and a practical framework for making the right call on your next implementation
Key Takeaways
* Understand the core differences between Agent Builder, Copilot Studio and Microsoft Foundry: for whom each tool is built, what it's optimised for, and where its limits are.
* Learn the key architecture signals and decision criteria that should guide your tool selection before you start building, so you're not course-correcting mid-project.
* See both Copilot Studio and Microsoft Foundry in action through a live demo, with the same scenario run through each tool to make the trade-offs tangible and real.
