🧠 MCP or not to MCP - that is THE question

English · Advanced (300)

So, the Model Context Protocol (MCP) is everywhere these days, and now that Copilot Studio jumped on board in March 2025, everyone's wondering: what's the big deal? And more importantly, what happens to all those connectors we've been using? Daniel's going to break it all down for you in this session. We'll dive into what MCP servers actually are, how you can start using them in Copilot Studio, and why you might want to try them out in other AI tools too. Fair warning: this is going to be demo-heavy, so get ready to see MCP in action across a bunch of different scenarios. What you'll walk away with: ✅ A solid grasp of what MCP servers are and why they're worth your time ✅ Practical know-how for getting MCP servers up and running in Copilot Studio ✅ Real examples of using both Microsoft's own MCP servers (like the Dataverse MCP server) and third-party ones in different AI tools Come ready to see lots of demos and leave with a clear understanding of whether MCP is right for your projects.

Agent showdown! Copilot Studio Lite vs. Full Experience

English · Intermediate (200)

Microsoft is known for a decade-long tradition of - yes, you’re right - rebranding their products. What has been Agent Builder and Microsoft Copilot Studio are now Copilot Studio Lite and the Copilot Studio Full Experience. But what are the differences? How to determine which tool is right for you? Join Sebastian Sieber and Andrew Bibby on a hands-on journey through Copilot Studio Lite and the Full Experience, showing how to create powerful, intelligent agents with both. We will explore what these tools can and can’t do, using some fun real-world examples to highlight their strengths and limitations. Get ready for a jam-packed session filled with demos, expert tips, best practices for writing effective prompts, and guidance on deploying agents across different channels. We will also touch on the developer options available for building agents that go beyond Copilot Studio using tools like Azure AI Foundry. Whether you are new to AI agents or looking to enhance your skills, you'll clearly understand when to use Agent Builder, when to advance to Copilot Studio, and how to create AI agents that add value.

Balancing Compliance and Usability for AI Apps in M365

Intermediate (200)

AI features are rapidly being integrated into business apps built on Microsoft 365, Power Platform, and Azure AI Foundry. But as soon as these apps move beyond proof-of-concept, familiar questions arise:​ Who can see what? Where does the data go? How do we control the prompts? What does ‘compliant’ even mean in a Copilot interface?​ This session offers a practical guide to designing AI-powered business apps that respect enterprise compliance boundaries without sacrificing usability. You’ll learn how to classify data early, protect sensitive outputs, and avoid common pitfalls like overblocking or shadow AI.​ We’ll walk through real examples, such as prompt-based approvals, document classification helpers, or AI-powered knowledge apps, and show how to implement the right mix of Purview, role-based access, and in-app transparency. ​ The goal: business apps that are secure, traceable, and usable from day one.

Die Zukunft ist Multi-Agent – Intelligente Systeme mit Copilot Studio

German · Intermediate (200)

Ein einzelner Copilot ist stark, aber ein ganzes Team ist unschlagbar. Willkommen in der nächsten Evolutionsstufe der Konversations-KI: Multi-Agenten-Systeme. In dieser Session verlassen wir die Welt der monolithischen Bots und tauchen ein in das faszinierende Konzept, mehrere spezialisierte Copilots als ein kohärentes Team zusammenarbeiten zu lassen. Wir zeigen dir, wie du in Copilot Studio eine Architektur aufbaust, in der jeder Agent eine spezifische Rolle übernimmt – vom Kundenservice-Spezialisten über den technischen Support-Bot bis hin zum Verkaufsassistenten. Lerne, wie diese Agenten miteinander kommunizieren, Aufgaben übergeben und gemeinsam komplexe Anfragen lösen, die für einen einzelnen Bot unerreichbar wären. Wir beleuchten die Architektur, die Orchestrierung und die unglaublichen neuen Möglichkeiten, die sich dadurch für dein Unternehmen ergeben. Was die Teilnehmer lernen werden: Was sind Multi-Agenten-Systeme? Eine klare und verständliche Einführung in das Konzept, die Architektur und die grundlegenden Prinzipien hinter der Zusammenarbeit mehrerer KI-Agenten. Praktische Anwendungsfälle (Use Cases): Wir demonstrieren live, wie Multi-Agenten-Systeme heute schon genutzt werden können, um komplexe End-to-End-Prozesse zu automatisieren Die aktuellen Grenzen des Möglichen: Transparenz ist entscheidend. Wir diskutieren offen, wo die Technologie heute steht und für welche Szenarien sie (noch) nicht die richtige Wahl ist. Ein Blick in die Zukunft: Erfahre, wohin die Reise mit Copilot Studio und Multi-Agenten-Systemen geht und welche Entwicklungen du auf dem Radar haben solltest. Zielgruppe Diese Session richtet sich an KI-Architekten, Power Platform-Entwickler, Lösungsarchitekten, IT-Entscheider und alle, die die Grenzen der Konversations-KI verschieben und hochgradig skalierbare und intelligente Automatisierungslösungen der nächsten Generation bauen wollen.

Foundry Agents Meet Low-Code: A Deep Dive into Azure AI Foundry Integration with Power Platform

Advanced (300)

Sometimes AI Builder and Copilot Studio are not enough to meet advanced AI requirements. For those special occasions, we need Azure AI Foundry. Especially when we want to connect to systems outside of the Microsoft ecosystem. In this session, we’ll walk through the setup and implementation of Azure AI Foundry Agents, show how to integrate Bing Custom Grounding to deliver more accurate answers, and demonstrate how to trigger these agents directly from the Power Platform We’ll build a simplified version of a real-world solution that helps a Swiss city respond automatically to user inquiries on their website and showcasing how Azure AI Foundry and Power Platform can work together to deliver enterprise-grade AI solutions.

From Clippy to Copilot - A Document Processing Journey

English · Intermediate (200)

Long-long time ago, in the early days of Word, a brave little paperclip asked, “It looks like you’re writing a document. Need help?” Well... we have come a long way from that moment, haven't we? Now we have AI that guides and supports our every step. In a world of Copilots, Document Processing is maybe the use case that benefits the most from the GenAI revolution. Best part? Low-code is the framework that makes it all achievable: big benefits with low effort. And things have gotten a lot easier lately! This session is a guided tour through Microsoft’s low code document processing universe. We’ll explore the tools in our toolbox: from Power Apps, Power Automate, and AI Builder, to the latest features in Copilot Studio. Expect: - Live demos, - Live building, - Questionable nerdy references 😁 This can run as a session or a hands-on workshop. If you're a dev, admin, solution architect, or just someone who’s had to wrestle with a .docx or pdf, this session is your destiny. Also, if you think Clippy deserved better... same. 🙂

How and why did we implement AI Chat in FetchXML Builder?

English · Intermediate (200)

There was a great, fun, learning, and productive collaboration with Jonas and Andreas when we started sharing and exchanging knowledge, and ultimately delivered a brand new feature in XrmToolBox's tool: FetchXML Builder - AI Chat. The primary purpose is that since AI is fused with us everywhere, we should embrace it, get to know it, own it, and use it. What did we build? What is the focus? What was struggling us? How can it improve our day-to-day? Why do I now even share my own Azure AI Foundry for free? I will provide you with an overall perspective, delving into the code behind the scenes, and demonstrating how we can utilize it in practice.
