Copilot Studio agent usage estimator (preview)

Use this estimator to forecast your agent's message volume. Select from licensing options, agent types, and the features your agent leverages to respond to your end users. See the message consumption impact based on these selections. This provides a monthly message estimate for a single agent and makes no guarantees of final costs. This isn't a pricing calculator, so we can't provide total costs or make any definite forecasts around your monthly expenses.

Estimator type

Configure monthly agent message estimation in two ways


Agent traffic

Agent traffic quantifies the activity an agent supports by assessing the number of end users accessing the agent and their monthly engagement frequency


Agent type

Agent type specifies whether the agent is deployed internally for employee interactions or externally for customer and partner conversations. Deployment location impacts usage trends, aiding in accurate consumption forecasting. Learn more


Agent orchestration

Orchestration involves managing and coordinating an agent's capabilities and actions to effectively respond to user queries and perform tasks. Classic orchestration leverages keyword matching in trigger phrases for topics, while generative orchestration allows your agent to choose the best actions, knowledge, and topics to answer user queries, or respond to event triggers.

Agent knowledge

Knowledge sources enable agents to provide relevant information and insights. Published agents use configured knowledge sources to ground their responses. Learn more

-

Agent actions and topics

Help agents answer a query, execute workflows, connect to external systems, or provide topic-specific guidance. Learn more

-

Agent Autonomous Triggers

These triggers act independently in response to specific events, without requiring user input to automate workflows and processes. Learn more


Agent Optional Modifiers

These features are not required for agents but drive additional message consumption

Total estimated messages -

Messages driven by knowledge -

  • Messages consumed for tenant graph grounding (10 messages) + generative answers (2 messages) Assumes Enhanced Search is turned on. -
