Copilot Agent Cannot Create a Word Document

Thanks for raising this – it’s a great use case, and you’re not alone in running into this.
Copilot Agents in Copilot Studio can’t create actual Word documents by themselves, even if they say they will. Unlike the regular Copilot in Word or other M365 apps, agents don’t have direct access to files or documents.
To make this work, you’d need to connect a Power Automate flow that:
1. Takes the SOP content
2. Fills a Word template
3. And returns the document (e.g., as a download link or email attachment).
It’s not automatic, but it’s doable with a bit of setup.
