Using a realistic business scenario that grows throughout the book, you'll learn not only how the platform works, but also how to apply it effectively in real-world environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eBeginning with the foundations of Microsoft’s agent ecosystem, you'll explore agent planning, conversational design, knowledge grounding, topics, entities, variables, tools, actions, and integrations with enterprise systems. As your skills grow, you'll dive into generative orchestration, autonomous and multi-agent systems, publishing agents across Microsoft Teams, Microsoft 365 Copilot, web, and voice channels, and extending capabilities through Power Automate, APIs, connectors, and external services. Along the way, you'll gain hands-on experience building increasingly sophisticated agents capable of reasoning, acting, and collaborating across business processes.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe book goes beyond basic implementation to cover the critical topics often overlooked in documentation, including testing and evaluation, analytics-driven improvement, security, governance, responsible AI, application lifecycle management, deployment pipelines, licensing, cost optimization, and operating agents at scale. By the end, you'll understand proven design patterns, avoid common pitfalls, and be equipped to build governed, enterprise-grade agent solutions that are ready for the next generation of AI-powered business applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat You Will Learn:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eAdvanced techniques for customizing Microsoft Copilot Studio to suit specific organizational needs.
