From Conversation to Action: Building Copilot Apps That Transform Work | ESPC26

Microsoft 365 Copilot is evolving beyond chat. With Copilot Apps, developers can bring rich, interactive experiences directly into Copilot Canvas, turning conversations into meaningful actions, workflows, and business outcomes.

In this session, you’ll discover how organizations can extend Microsoft Copilot with custom Copilot Apps built using the SharePoint Framework (SPFx). We’ll explore how these experiences help employees move seamlessly from AI-generated insights to real business actions without leaving Copilot.

You’ll see how the platform automatically hosts and manages these applications within the customer’s Microsoft 365 environment, providing enterprise-ready security, single sign-on, and governance from day one. Most importantly, you’ll learn why this new extensibility model represents a significant opportunity for solution architects and developers to create entirely new categories of business experiences inside Microsoft 365.

Whether you’re building employee experiences, business process solutions, line-of-business applications, or AI-powered workflows, Copilot Apps unlock a new way to deliver engaging, interactive experiences where users are already working. We’ll walk through the end-to-end development model, demonstrate how easy it is for web developers to get started, and show how modern AI-assisted development tools can accelerate the journey from idea to production.

Join us to understand not only how Copilot Apps work, but why they may become one of the most important extensibility patterns in the Microsoft 365 platform.
