ABOUT THE SESSION

Microsoft 365 Copilot offers a rich and rapidly evolving set of extensibility options. From SharePoint Custom Agents, Agent Builder, Declarative Agents, and Copilot Studio to Custom Engine Agents, developers and makers can choose from a wide range of approaches to extend the Microsoft 365 Copilot experience. The platform continues to expand with technologies like Work IQ, Copilot Cowork, MCP Apps, Autopilots, and Copilot Components, making it even more important to understand which capabilities best fit specific business and technical requirements. This tutorial provides a comprehensive architectural overview of the Microsoft 365 Copilot extensibility landscape and explains how these building blocks fit together within the broader Microsoft AI platform.

Rather than focusing on implementation details, attendees will learn how to evaluate and select the most appropriate extensibility model based on business needs, governance requirements, developer skills, and solution complexity.

By the end of the tutorial, attendees will have a practical decision framework for choosing the right extensibility option for any scenario, from simple knowledge-driven assistants to sophisticated multi-agent enterprise solutions. Whether you’re a maker, architect, or professional developer, you’ll leave with a clear understanding of the Microsoft 365 Copilot extensibility stack and the options available today.

Notice that this is not a hands-on workshop – trainers will show and tell the different covered topics with their environment.
