Advanced Agent in a Day

A hands-on, 300-level full-day workshop for builders who already know the Copilot Studio basics. Go deep on multi-agent core concepts, tools (connectors, agent flows, MCP servers, custom prompts, CUA), generative orchestration and dynamic chaining, the new Workflows autonomous-agent capabilities, and authoring agents from the terminal with Copilot Studio skills. Optional take-home labs extend the day into multi-agent (mcs-multi-agent), governance/DLP zones (mcs-governance), reusable component collections (component-collections), and ALM (mcs-alm).

    Module 4: Workflows

    Workflows are the next generation of autonomous agents in Copilot Studio — inline agent connections, plus scheduled and event-driven triggers that let an agent act on its own. This module introduces the new capabilities and how they evolve beyond the classic autonomous-agent trigger model.
