Create Custom Copilot Studio Agents for Collaborative Teams Workflows
Build and deploy custom AI agents directly within Microsoft Teams.
Develop custom Copilot Agents using the Copilot Studio UI to automate specific tasks and collaborative workflows within Teams channels and groups.
The Scenario
You need an automated assistant within a Teams group chat that specifically knows your project guidelines and can answer team questions 24/7.
Before & after
Creating a custom bot for internal use used to require professional developers and weeks of coding, costing hours of meetings and technical setup.
Use the new Copilot Studio UI to build an agent once and deploy it directly to Teams. Setting up a basic agent with specific instructions takes roughly 5-10 minutes.
The Prompt
Create a Copilot Agent that acts as a [ROLE, E.G., PROJECT MANAGER] to help my team with [SPECIFIC TASK, E.G., SUMMARIZING WEEKLY UPDATES]. Enable it for use in Microsoft Teams group chats.
The new Copilot Studio experience allows you to create agents that work in both 1:1 and group chats. Note that you may need to specifically verify group chat permissions if users report 'SystemError' codes.
