Workshop: Become a Microsoft 365 Agent Builder - No Code Required Friday, April 24th, Workshop Hours: 8 am - 3 pm
Agents are the next step in the AI evolution for Microsoft 365. Unlike traditional chatbots, agents don’t just answer questions; they take action, follow instructions, and work alongside your users to get real tasks done.
In this demo-heavy workshop, you’ll learn how to become an agent builder without writing a single line of code. We’ll break down what makes agents different, explore their architecture, and walk through the tools available in Microsoft 365 to bring them to life. Together, we’ll build agents in SharePoint, experiment with the new Copilot Studio Light (formerly the Microsoft 365 Copilot Agent Builder), and unlock the full capabilities of Copilot Studio.
You’ll see how to design agents that not only retrieve information but also trigger workflows, call external systems, and even act autonomously. By the end, you’ll have the skills and confidence to start creating your own agents that deliver real business value; without ever touching code.
