AZURE + COPILOT = ONE AGENT NETWORK ⚡️ Just caught this live at PPCC. Copilot Studio is getting a MAJOR upgrade. You’ll soon be able to connect agents from Azure AI Foundry and the Copilot SDK directly using A2A (Agent-to-Agent). Right now, A2A only works between Copilot Studio agents. But that’s changing FAST. Think about what this means: • Foundry agents built on frontier models 🤝 Copilot agents running your enterprise logic. • Shared memory, shared context, unified governance. • True multi-agent orchestration across the Microsoft AI stack. It’s the bridge between custom intelligence and governed automation. #PPCC25 is COOKING 🔥 #CopilotStudio #Agents #PowerPlatform #Copilot #AI

🚀 Ready to take your agents to the next level? Explore how to integrate Azure AI Search for Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) in Copilot Studio with this hands-on lab from Copilot Dev Camp. Learn how to connect enterprise data and build smarter, more contextual agents. 💡 👉 Dive in: https://msft.it/6049sFl3T #Copilot #CopilotStudio #CopilotDevCamp #Microsoft365dev

AI tools like Microsoft 365 Copilot can boost productivity, but only if your systems and data are ready for it.

Microsoft Power Platform's AI Builder has now moved to a new licensing model under Copilot Studio credits. 👛 This means: - AI Builder actions will no longer consume standalone AI Builder credits - they will instead draw from Copilot Studio credits. - Purchasing new AI Builder credit add-ons is no longer possible. - Seeded (included) AI Builder credits in Microsoft Power Apps and Power Automate will end. Existing credits can still be used, but only until the renewal of those licences. Microsoft has made this change to streamline AI licensing under the Copilot umbrella and reduce the number of credit types, which can cause confusion.

Microsoft continues to enhance Copilot Studio within the Power Platform ecosystem, and one of the latest features generating great interest is the ability to recognize and process files (PDF, TXT, etc.) directly within conversational flows. With this new capability, Copilot Studio agents can: Receive files from users during a conversation. Extract metadata (name, format, size, document type). Validate file conditions before proceeding. Escalate or trigger automated actions based on the outcome. 👉 Thanks to the integration with Power Automate and Dataverse, these files can now feed complete business processes from invoice validation to report submissions or support ticket handling. 💬 In short, Copilot Studio is rapidly becoming the tool that brings intelligent agents to life, agents that can understand, validate, and act on the information they receive. 👉 https://lnkd.in/d8nCx7HF #Microsoft #CopilotStudio #PowerPlatform #PowerAutomate #LowCode #ArtificialIntelligence #Microsoft365 #Automation #AI

💡Anyone else trying to upskill on Copilot, but not quite sure where to start? This resource from Howdang Rashid is a great place to start, especially if you’re new to Copilot and Microsoft’s platform. And just a reminder that Microsoft MVPs are amazing people to follow and learn from, if you’re new to the space! 🤩

Not so much a skill gap as Microsoft is running with AI scissors in hand- lol. Their rollout, branding and stack definitions have been muddled.
