Creation of Agents using Copilot
Unlock the next frontier of AI automation. Move beyond simple chatbots to build intelligent, proactive, and integrated agents that solve complex business challenges.
This advanced, project-driven course from TrulyAcademic is designed for developers, IT professionals, and technical solution architects who want to master the creation of sophisticated AI agents. Using the powerful Microsoft Copilot Stack (including Copilot Studio and Azure AI Services), you’ll learn to design, build, deploy, and manage autonomous agents capable of reasoning, executing multi-step tasks, and integrating seamlessly with your data and applications.
Go from conceptualizing agent workflows to implementing production-ready solutions that enhance productivity, customer experience, and operational intelligence.
Key Highlights of This Course:
From Chatbots to True Agents: Learn the critical distinction between reactive chatbots and proactive, goal-oriented agents. This course focuses on building agents that can plan, use tools, and execute tasks autonomously.
Hands-On with the Microsoft Ecosystem: Gain practical, real-world experience using Microsoft Copilot Studio as the core orchestration layer, integrated with Azure OpenAI Service (for advanced reasoning), Azure AI Search (for knowledge grounding), and Power Automate (for workflow execution).
Architecture & Design Patterns: Master the architecture for building effective agents, including the Reasoning-Acting Loop, Tool/Function Calling design, and Agentic Workflow Patterns (e.g., Planner, Executor, Checker).
Grounding & Knowledge Integration: A dedicated module on preventing hallucinations and ensuring accuracy. Learn to securely connect your agents to enterprise data via SharePoint, databases, and custom APIs using Azure AI Search and Graph Connectors.
Custom Action & API Integration: Move beyond pre-built connectors. Learn to design and implement Custom APIs and Power Platform Custom Connectors to empower your agents to interact with any internal system, CRM, or SaaS application.
Advanced Capabilities: Implement multi-agent collaboration scenarios, where specialized agents (e.g., a researcher, a writer, an analyst) work together on a complex problem. Explore autonomous processing with human-in-the-loop approval safeguards.
Proactive & Event-Driven Agents: Teach your agents to listen for events (e.g., a new email, a database update, a threshold alert) and trigger autonomous actions or notifications, moving from a “request-response” to a “monitor-act” model.
Real-World Project Portfolio: Build a capstone project that addresses a complex business process (e.g., an IT Help Desk Resolution Agent, an Intelligent Sales Onboarding Assistant, a Proactive Customer Health Monitor). Graduate with a demonstrable asset for your portfolio.
Enterprise-Grade Best Practices: Focus on security, governance, responsible AI principles, monitoring, analytics, and prompt engineering for reliability to ensure your agents are robust, safe, and scalable.
Expert-Led & Community-Driven: Learn from industry practitioners and Microsoft MVPs. Get support through dedicated Q&A sessions and access to a private community of fellow learners to share insights and challenges.
