Extend Microsoft 365 Copilot
Declarative agents are a type of agents for Microsoft 365. You can build one by extending Microsoft 365 Copilot. You define custom knowledge and custom actions to create agents tailored to a specific scenario.
Declarative agents use the same infrastructure, orchestrator, foundation model, and security controls as Microsoft 365 Copilot, which ensures a consistent and familiar user experience.
What you're going to do
During Extend Path of the Copilot Developer Camp, you will construct a customized assistant tailored for a Human Resources department.

This advanced assistant will be equipped with security features, including authentication mechanism linked to the Microsoft 365 tenant to get organizational data.
