Hands-On: Multi-Agent AI Systems with Copilot Studio, Microsoft Fabric, & Foundry

Agents are the new apps for an AI-powered world where personal agents, business-process agents, and cross-organizational agents work together to enhance productivity and collaboration. With their evolution, real innovation and results are coming to fruition, and businesses are seeing real benefits.

Microsoft Copilot Studio is a graphical, low-code tool for building agents and agent flows. One of the standout features is its ability to connect to other data sources using either prebuilt or custom plugins. This flexibility enables users to create and orchestrate sophisticated logic, ensuring that their agent experiences are both powerful and intuitive.

Microsoft Fabric is an analytics platform that supports end‑to‑end data workflows, including data ingestion, transformation, real‑time stream processing, analytics, and reporting. It provides integrated experiences such as Data Engineering, Data Factory, Data Science, Real‑Time Intelligence, Data Warehouse, and Databases, which operate over a shared compute and storage model.

Microsoft Foundry provides a unified Azure-based platform-as-a-service (PaaS) for enterprise AI operations, model deployment, and application development—combining infrastructure, governance, monitoring, and model management under a single, enterprise-ready framework.

In this hands on workshop, Microsoft AI and Business Applications MVP and Microsoft Certified Trainer Prashant G Bhoyar will cover the following topics in detail:

*Fundamentals of multimodal GenAI applications and AI agents *Building and orchestrating autonomous and multi agent AI systems *Developing agents in Copilot Studio to handle complex, multi step conversations across Teams, web, and other channels *Developing agents in Microsoft Fabric to work with structured and streaming data using Fabric IQ, leveraging OneLake, real time analytics, and integrated data services to enable intelligent, data driven agent experiences *Using Microsoft Foundry and integrating models from DeepSeek, Llama, Hugging Face, and other open source providers via Foundry *Deep dive into Microsoft Foundry and its enterprise grade capabilities *Building and testing real world multi agent use cases and architectures *Leveraging Foundry IQ and Azure AI Search for intelligent, context aware retrieval *Utilizing Foundry Agent Service for automated, scalable business processes *Implementing evaluation, tracing, and testing frameworks for AI agents *Applying Responsible AI principles and evaluating ROI for AI driven solutions *Building robust, scalable multimodal applications and AI agents focused on real industry requirements and best practices

Bring Copilot Studio Agents to Life with Power Automate & Azure Functions

What

A 70-minute, demo-driven session that shows practical integration patterns to connect Copilot Studio agents with Power Automate and Azure Functions. The session emphasizes real use cases — including IT onboarding and offboarding — and demonstrates how agent → tool-call wiring and server-side functions enable agents to take verifiable actions in enterprise systems.

Why

Agents are most valuable when they can act on business processes: create tickets, provision accounts, perform lookups, trigger approvals, or call APIs. Repeatable integration patterns reduce engineering effort, limit privileges, make actions auditable, and lower operational risk — so teams can safely automate common workflows.

How (Demo -> use-case focused)

Pattern demos (three integration patterns):

Agent → Power Automate flow — demo Agent → Azure Function (HTTP/webhook) Hybrid (Flow → Function / orchestrator)

Use cases illustrated: IT onboarding & offboarding, service desk ticket creation & escalation, password resets, HR onboarding tasks, approval workflows (expense/time-off), order-status lookups, and knowledge-base retrieval with safe redaction.

Operational patterns shown: authentication options (service principal vs. managed identity), least-privilege permissioning, telemetry and correlation (linking agent transcripts to flow runs and function executions for audit), and production checklist items (error handling, idempotency, retries, and monitoring).

Implementation is shown at a demo level; full lab materials are available after the session for teams that want hands-on follow-up.

Who should attend

Developers, integration engineers, Power Platform implementers, solution architects, and platform owners who need to enable Copilot Studio agents to perform actions across Teams, web portals, and backend systems.

Two Ways to Automate: Agent Flows and Computer Use in Copilot Studio

Overview This session covers two automation capabilities in Microsoft Copilot Studio: agent flows and computer use. Attendees will see how agent flows automate workflows and how computer use enables agents to interact with websites and desktop applications. What You Will See Agent Flows (Generally Available)

Agent flows are automated sequences of actions triggered by specific events or conditions Agent flows can be triggered manually, by other automated events or agents, or based on a schedule Two creation methods: natural language description or visual designer with drag-and-drop components Agent flows follow a deterministic path, ensuring that input produces the same output To add an agent flow to an agent as a tool, it must have the "When an agent calls the flow" trigger and a "Respond to the agent" action Action types include AI capabilities (generate text, run a prompt, process documents) and human-in-the-loop actions (approval requests) Agent flows are billed through Copilot Studio based on consumption without requiring a separate Power Automate license Existing Power Automate cloud flows can be converted to agent flows

Computer Use (Public Preview)

Computer use is a tool in Copilot Studio that lets agents interact with and automate tasks on a Windows computer Computer use works with websites and desktop apps by selecting buttons, choosing menus, and entering text into fields on the screen Powered by Computer-Using Agents (CUA), an AI model that combines vision capabilities with advanced reasoning to interact with graphical user interfaces Because it is AI-powered, it adapts to interface changes; when buttons or screens change, the tool continues working without breaking the flow Describe tasks in natural language; no coding required Works with browsers including Edge, Chrome, and Firefox, and desktop applications Hosted browser option powered by Windows 365 requires no machine setup Existing machines used to run desktop flows can also be used for computer use Use cases include automated data entry, invoice processing, and data extraction Available for environments where the region is set to United States Each computer use action costs five Copilot Credits

Who Should Attend Developers, Power Platform implementers, and solution architects working with Copilot Studio automation capabilities.
