Module 1: Introduction to declarative agents for Microsoft 365 Copilot

Determine the scenarios which declarative agents are suitable for customizing and extending Microsoft 365 Copilot. Describe the function of custom knowledge and custom actions.

By the end of this module, you should be able to:

·        Evaluate whether a declarative agent is appropriate to extend Microsoft 365 Copilot for your scenario.

·        Describe how the components of a declarative agent work together to create agents that run on Microsoft 365 Copilot.

Module 2: Build your first declarative agent for Microsoft 365 Copilot by using Copilot Studio

Create an agent tailored to a specific scenario to extend Microsoft 365 Copilot. Your declarative agent provides relevant and accurate responses using custom knowledge.

By the end of this module, you should be able to:

·        Design a declarative agent to solve a business problem.

·        Implement a declarative agent with custom knowledge.

·        Publish and use a declarative agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot to validate the results.

Module 3: Introduction to actions for declarative agents in Copilot Studio

Explore how to create and configure actions in Copilot Studio to expand the capabilities of your declarative agents. Connect your declarative agent to external data sources and customize generative responses.

By the end of this module, you should be able to:

·        Describe actions in Copilot Studio.

·        Identify the types of actions that can extend a declarative agent in Copilot Studio.

·        Describe scenarios for adding actions to an agent.

·        Describe technical considerations for configuring actions in Copilot Studio.

Module 4: Extend declarative agents with prompt actions in Copilot Studio

Customize your declarative agent's generative responses by extending your agent with prompt actions. Craft custom prompts, test your prompts against the LLM, and add prompt actions to declarative agents that extend Microsoft 365 Copilot.

By the end of this module, you should be able to:

·        Configure a prompt action in Copilot Studio.

·        Test a prompt in Copilot Studio.

·        Add a prompt action to a declarative agent in Copilot Studio.

Module 5: Extend declarative agents with connector actions in Copilot Studio

Connect your declarative agent to external services and data using connector actions. Configure out-of-the-box and custom connectors and add them to agents that extend Microsoft 365 Copilot.

By the end of this module, you should be able to:

·        Create a new connector action.

·        Configure a connector action.

·        Add a connector action to a declarative agent.

·        Test a connector action.
