Importantly, you can use it with OpenAI’s GPT-5 model, the same AI that powers ChatGPT, without copying, pasting, or uploading your files outside of your protected work apps. And today I’ll walk you through how you can leverage these in-app experiences along with the controls available for IT. -Everything I’ll show you today, by the way, works in both the desktop and web apps. I’m going to start with Copilot in Outlook. As you can see, I have a full inbox after being away for a few days. And now, instead of working through this long email thread to figure out what it’s all about and what I need to take action on, I can just ask Copilot, “Please draft a recap of this email thread for me to share it with my launch team.” And Copilot analyzes the open thread and it generates a reply with a clear summary of major updates since I’ve been away. And it looks like the heart rate detection feature has been enhanced and is launching ahead of schedule. As a result, the leadership meeting has been moved up. And I can see that my action item is to update our slides to reflect the new feature and the revised positioning ahead of my presentation. I’m going to start in Word to begin generating the updates that I’ll need for my presentation. -So here, I’ve got a technical specifications document open for ZavaCore Fiber, I need to add to it for our meeting. Instead of switching apps or uploading files, I just open up Copilot Chat on the right side pane and it understands the context of my open document. I can let Copilot know that I prefer generated content to be concise, and Copilot will take this into account as it generates content. Now I can ask Copilot, “Write an executive summary in a bulleted list,” and Copilot authors the summary. I just need to click on this copy icon to copy it, then I can paste it under the Executive Summary heading in my document, and now my technical spec is complete. -So that was Word, now let’s move on to Excel to create a data visualization that I’ll incorporate also into my presentation. So here I’ve got a spreadsheet that’s full of satisfaction and performance metrics for our new product. On Copilot Chat, I can ask, “Generate a bar chart showing the overall satisfaction scores across regions. Use different colors for each bar.” And I didn’t need to tell Copilot which columns to use or which ones to calculate the insights from in the spreadsheet, it knows what to do. And there’s my bar chart with satisfaction scores across North, South, East, West, and Central regions. It’s exactly what I asked for, without having to leave Excel. So now that I have what I need to update my presentation, I’m going to move over to Copilot Chat in PowerPoint. -This is my deck for ZavaCore Smart Fiber, and I want to make a few updates to it based on the email thread from before and what we just did in Word and Excel. And I want to go back to those Copilot chats, so this time in the Copilot pane, I’ll open up the ellipse menu. And from here, I can view all my recent Copilot chats. Well, I’m going to choose the one from a moment ago, “Please remember that I prefer generated content in Copilot Chat to be concise.” And down within that chat session, you can see I have my bullet list of executive summary. And now I’m going to copy that and put that in the New Features Overview. And I’ll keep going, I’ll return back to the previous chat, this time the one from Excel with a bar chart that was based on our open Excel file because I want to add that to my PowerPoint as well. Well, I’ll grab that chart and I’ll place it on the left side of the slide, and now it’s looking how I want it to. I’m going to move on to slide 5 because I want to generate a new image for the slide, so I’ll go back into Copilot and I’ll select New Chat. Now I’ll ask Copilot to, “Create a high-tech image of an ECG sensor.” And that takes a moment or so to generate, but there’s my new image. Once it’s finished, I can add that to my slide. -Now I want to make sure that my presentation includes answers to the questions that we think that our audience will have. We’ve prepared a few documents with that information recently. So from Copilot Chat, I’ll just start writing, “Suggest some Q&As for this presentation,” and I’ll reference the documents I want. To do that, I just need to type the forward slash, and that then shows me all my recent documents. I’m going to choose our Spec doc, and then I’ll send my prompt, and Copilot then generates a nice list of questions and answers, and I’m ready for my presentation. -And if you’re in IT and want to ensure that your company data stays protected with the policies and controls that you’ve already put in place, the good news is, is that Copilot Chat has enterprise-grade protections like the add-on Microsoft 365 Copilot license. You can manage everything that you just saw in the apps using the Copilot Control System, including enforceable data loss prevention and information protection policies from Microsoft Purview. And Copilot Chat is pinned by default, so it becomes discoverable throughout the different app experiences. And you can also view Copilot usage in the Microsoft 365 admin center, as well as deeper insights in the Copilot Dashboard. Being able to use Copilot directly from your apps as you work not only saves you time but also keeps you in your flow. And with the premium experience available with the Microsoft 365 Copilot license, your productivity gets even better, and you can use Copilot inside a broader set of Microsoft 365 apps. -So a few of the standout capabilities include intelligent work data retrieval, where it pulls from the files in your OneDrive, your shared documents, emails, meetings, conversations, and more automatically without you needing to reference them. In other words, it works with all the work data that you have permissions to access in the Microsoft Graph and reasons over it to generate responses. And second is meeting facilitation. So if you’re using Microsoft Teams, Microsoft 365 Copilot works during meetings to facilitate discussions or catch you up on what you might have missed, take detailed notes with action items, and more. And third is specialized agents, where you can create and use agents with your data in Microsoft 365 and get access to pre-built agents from Microsoft with advanced reasoning. -The new included experiences that I showed today are a great way for everyone to start using Copilot Chat directly in Microsoft 365 apps. Try it today by clicking the Copilot button in the app ribbon to get started.

You can now more efficiently connect agents to information using the new AI-optimized MCP standard. Select the specific AI model you want and even easily have your agent work together with other agents. -In fact, today I’ll show you how to build an agent with Microsoft Copilot Studio in just a few minutes. In this case, I’ve chosen an often complex but common task, project planning, that I want to automate. So here our project has just been given the green light to move forward after initial ideation and stakeholder approval. Now let me show you my running agent and how it can automate parts of the launch planning process. First, my agent works autonomously to reason over and determine if this email is an approval email. Once identified, this email becomes a trigger for the planning process to start. Here you can see it’s actually created a new team with a virtual assistant that highlights the key phases and milestones. -Under the covers, the agent has referred to the knowledge we’ve assigned to it and used Microsoft Planner to create and to assign tasks to people for each phase. If you’ve never automated something like this, it might seem kind of complex, but it’s pretty simple. Let me show you how this agent works. So I’m in Copilot Studio, and to speed things up a little bit, let me reverse-engineer what’s behind it. This agent overview page shows all the components of the agent in a single view. At the top, there’s a description of the agent with its primary components. Then on the right, there’s a test pane that I can use to test the agent at any stage as I build it out. -To build a launch plan, I have written instructions to describe exactly what I need the agent to do, and this is more or less how I would describe it to any member of the team. So here I’ve instructed it to monitor the inbox for that launch email like we saw before, then generate a plan, including the tasks with each task owner and the deadlines defined. Notify those task owners and stakeholders about their tasks and deadlines so that they aren’t surprised. Make sure that all of this is maintained and synced in Microsoft Planner, and my favorite part, coordinate with other agents. In this case, I’ve asked our Zava Launch Planning agent to work with our Zava Inventory Planning agent. -Then under that, I’ve defined quite a few important knowledge sources. So you can see competitor analysis here from a web source, product documentation, and a best practices repo from SharePoint, even two individual reference files, a Word document for marketing collateral, and also A PDF with our Launch Process Library with details on team member specialization and task timeframes. So at this stage we’ve kind of laid out all the expectations for how the agent should operate and the knowledge resources that it should refer to, but I still need to define the tools and the triggers to perform and activate the process automation. -I’ll start in Tools, where I can get more specific with exactly the kind of actions I want the agent to take, like sending emails, creating and assigning tasks, and looking up supplier and component data for inventory. Below that in Triggers is an important configuration because this is actually what makes our agent autonomous. Remember, it sprung into action only once it identified that there was an approval email. And in Agents, you can see that the Zava Inventory Planning agent is also defined here. This agent actually reviews relevant inventory status and will give my agent accurate estimates to generate the product launch plan. Back up in Tools, let me show you the options there for adding a new tool. You can see that I can search, and there are suggestions as well as options for defining connectors to bring in data. And I can also add a flow to run steps in a process using Power Automate. -There’s a new option for Model Context Protocol, or MCP, as well. I’m going to pause here for a second in case you’re new to Model Context Protocol, or maybe you just think it’s a new name for APIs. Your API is not an MCP. That’s because MCP is designed to structure data specifically for AI models so that they can understand and use information sources more easily. Unlike traditional APIs, which are packed with extra details for both read and write operations so that software developers have the control over the output of their apps, MCPs, on the other hand, are task-focused and are built uniquely to enable and guide AI’s actions, giving it the context and instructions it needs to make quick decisions on what to do next. -The MCP primarily supports read operations to look up and also retrieve information, where the MCP points to specific resources like files, database records or images, each packaged with metadata to describe the resource and how it should be used to perform the task. This helps AI to quickly find and also make sense of the most relevant information in order to generate and format its response back. This means, using MCP, your AI agents are generally more efficient and accurate than they would be using other options. In fact, your IT team has an incentive to build them to minimize operational costs. And if you’re in IT and want to get an MCP server running, check out our lab at aka.ms/MCSMCPLab. -Now let’s get back to our specific agent in Copilot Studio. By selecting MCP, I can see a list of the MCP servers that my IT team has made available to me. In this case, if I click into Tools, you’ll see the Supplier SKU and Component Data we saw before is actually an MCP server, and it’s enabled and ready to go. So until now, I’ve shown you how we created our project plan, but we also need a go-to-market document describing how we’ll launch, promote, and sell it. So let’s add that to the agent. So back in the Overview tab, I’ll add another tool. Hitting New tool will show me all the options. Here you’ll see another one for Prompt, which lets you analyze and transform text, documents, images, and data using AI with a prompt. So I’ll go ahead and choose that. -Now I’ll add a prompt with instructions for creating a go-to-market strategy document. As with prompting, the more detailed the prompt, the better the generated response will be. And that’s all it takes. Of course, the generated response can also depend on the AI model that you choose, and for most things, the default model will work just fine. I can alternatively choose from the models I have available to me, or I can even head over to Azure AI Foundry to browse over thousands of models. This is great, especially if you have specialized tasks that need specialized skills. So, for example, if I wanted one for forecasting, I can narrow down the list here by choosing my preferred deployment option. I’ll pick serverless. Under inference task, I’ll pick the forecasting category, and it finds a match that I could use maybe later for a sales forecasting agent after our launch. For now, back in Copilot Studio, I’ll keep GPT-4o mini as a good general-purpose model. So now I’ll save my prompt, which takes just a second, then just confirm by adding it to my agent. And that’s it. -And now with everything configured and added, I can test it out to see if it works. So I’ll type in my prompt, “Test the launch planner agent based on the last approval email received in my inbox,” and then submit that. And you can see its thought process here over on the left. That way you can make sure it’s doing what you want it to do. In the middle of the screen is our MCP server data with raw records it discovered and used. And that same information is shown on the right in our response. -Now with the document ready to go, let’s take a look at it in Word. So here’s our go-to-market document. As I scroll down, you can see that the document is pretty thorough. It’s got all the right details and all the right insights. It’s even used our standard go-to-market strategy templates for consistency. And you’ll notice also on the top that because it’s fully integrated with our Microsoft Purview policies for our company, it’s even applied the right label and protections. So between the automated generation of our launch plan and GTM doc, something that might’ve taken weeks before, now just takes a few minutes, and, again, I didn’t need to use any code. -So to get started building your own agents, just head over to copilotstudio.microsoft.com.
