Workflows and App Builder Agents
Hey everyone, I have recently started using the Workflows and App Builder Agents, which are currently in preview through the Frontier programme and I would like to know your opinions on these tools as well. From my side, Workflows: didn't work once for me, most of the time, the flow is correctly generated, and connections are established but the flow fails to save. when it did save (that two times), it couldn't use the Outlook getEmails actions to pull information and errored out we don't have any DLP policies to block its use, so I don't understand why nothing is working here. last, it's no possible to edit the flow, which is not a great experience especially when trying to figure out what went wrong. App Builder: users need the permission to create a fresh sharepoint site for each app, this is a horrible experience for admin, as there could be hundreds new sites as users play around with the agent, why not allow users to pick an already established site, as all it does is create a list to store the information in? it's not possible to edit the app manually, so you're stuck talking to the agent for a long time to make changes that would take seconds in the PowerApps editor. when making changes through the editor, you can ask the agent to change a single thing in the app, then it 'kinda' understand and changes the entire thing either way, adding to the frustration. So all-in-all, both agents are a great concept, but they are still waaaay behind in what they promise.
What's difference creating Agent from Copilot page vs from Copilot Studio -> Copilot for M365?
Hello, I am learning about Copilot and was very confused by these two different ways to do it. My understanding is both are "Declarative Agents" which lets the Microsoft 365 Copilot do the most heavy lifting. Method 1. First way is to go to Copilot page and clicking 'Create an Agent' w3 Method 2: Going to Copilot Studio -> Agents -> Copilot for Microsoft 365 -> New Agent (Couldn't find a screenshot) Q1. Anyway, first, I created an Agent using the first Method 1 above, and now I see it on the Copilot page under 'Agents' section. However, when I go to Copilot Studio -> Agents -> Copilot for Microsoft 365, I don't see that Agent there. Is this normal and intended? Q2. Is an Agent created using the Method 1 only available to people who have Copilot license? (as long as they are shared; I see options are only me, anyone in the organization, and specific users in the organization) Q3. Could you please confirm agents created using either way above are both "Declarative Agents"? Sorry for the newbie questions in advance... I took the course MS-4010 and reviewed several posts but still confusing...Prevent data loss and insider risks for Microsoft 365 Copilot with Microsoft Purview
To be truly enterprise-ready, a generative AI tool must do more than generate content—it must actively help prevent data loss and mitigate insider risks. Microsoft Copilot and agents are built with security in mind, integrating seamlessly with Microsoft Purview to deliver robust data protection capabilities. In this session, you’ll learn how to: Receive real-time alerts and detailed reports on risky behaviors and AI usage. Safeguard sensitive files and interactions with Copilot and agents. Automatically enforce security policies in response to high-risk actions. Empower your organization to adopt Copilot and agents with confidence—securely, responsibly, and at scale. How do I participate? No registration is required.

Use Copilot with Microsoft ToDo
It would be great if I could have Microsoft Copilot Pro talk to and be able to query these few responses. 1. What are my important task that I am missing? 2. What task do I need to focus on in the next few days? 3. Look at this project/doc/sharepoint file and add additional task to my ToDo that isn't currently on my list.
Microsoft 365 Copilot Mic/Composer functionality for Android
Hi Everyone, We have been trialing Copilot, Claude, ChatGPT in our organization and finally decided to start buying some licenses for users, however we have noticed on android devices like samsung when you open Copilot and sign in it redirects you to the M365 Copilot app, after loading the app on our phones we notice you can no longer click the little mic icon and have conversations with Copilot, this is really frustrating and there seems to be zero information online about this, is this a lack of functionality or am I missing something in our tenant settings that would block the ability to use the mic function in the M365 Copilot app for Android? I can open the free version and have conversations with it but there is no history and its really annoying.Web Content toggle is now missing
Hi All- Starting yesterday, the toggle for "web content" in m365 Copilot has disappeared. And when searching for content, we see this alert: "Your organization has turned off web search. Copilot responses won't include the latest data from the web." No changes have been made on our end and we have the Cloud Policy for "Allow web search in Copilot" enabled. Anyone else having issues?
