Copilot Developer Camp is a self-paced learning resource, designed to help you build agents for Microsoft 365 Copilot. It provides practical guidance and real-world examples to support your development journey.

Building Agents for Microsoft 365

Agents for Microsoft 365 are conversational AI-powered assistants designed to help users automate tasks, answer questions, and streamline workflows across Microsoft 365 apps and services. Agents can be used in various scenarios, such as customer support, IT helpdesk, HR support, and more.

Agents for Microsoft 365 are conversational AI-powered assistants designed to help users automate tasks, answer questions, and streamline workflows across Microsoft 365 apps and services. Agents can be used in various scenarios, such as customer support, IT helpdesk, HR support, and more.

An agent for Microsoft 365 is typically made up of these components—foundational model, an orchestrator, which is running that taps into that knowledge, skills, and autonomous processes that it has those capabilities to do, and it may or may not have a user interface. ​

You can either extend Microsoft 365 Copilot by using the same infrastructure, orchestrator, foundation model, and security controls as Microsoft 365 Copilot, which ensures a consistent and familiar user experience.

Or you can pick your own foundation model, orchestrator, and responsible AI controls.

🧪 Where should I start to build agents?

There are three major pathways with several labs. If you want a no-code/low-code approach, choose the Maker path ("MAB", "MSA", or "MCS" lab). If you want to extend Microsoft 365 Copilot, choose the Extend path ("E" lab). If you want to build a completely custom agent using Microsoft Foundry or any AI of your choice, choose the Build path ("BMA" lab).

🆕 What's New?

Updated in Jan 2026

We’re excited to introduce three new hands-on labs designed to help you build powerful Copilot experiences.

  • Connect Declarative agent to MCP Server: Run a complete Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Zava Insurance's claims system and integrate it with Declarative Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot. 🔗 Start this lab

  • Connected Agents using Copilot Studio: Understand how to create agents in Microsoft Copilot Studio that can communicate with other agents. 🔗 Start this lab

  • Build with Microsoft 365 Agents SDK: Leverage the full capabilities of the Microsoft 365 Agents SDK to create production-ready Copilot agents that integrate with real business data. 🔗 Start this lab
