Building AI Agents with the New Microsoft Copilot Studio
A Hands-On Masterclass in Building and Orchestrating Agents using the new Copilot Harness
Join Andrew Hess for a deep, practical look at agent development and multi-agent orchestration in the new Microsoft Copilot Studio. Don't just learn what's new. Learn how to build with it.
4 hours. One masterclass. A completely new way to think about building AI agents.
Meet Your Instructor
Andrew Hess is an AI Architect at Microsoft, where he works with organizations on the Power Platform, Copilot, Copilot Studio, and Microsoft AI.
With a background in building and teaching Power Platform solutions, Andrew is known for turning emerging Microsoft technologies into practical, real-world solutions. He also shares his expertise with the community through speaking, teaching, and hands-on technical content.
Why This Masterclass?
Copilot Studio is evolving too quickly for a feature-by-feature tutorial to be enough. The real challenge is understanding how the new capabilities fit together.
How do Skills work with agents?
When do Workflows come into the picture?
How do you connect multiple agents?
What does orchestration look like?
This masterclass gives you the opportunity to see these concepts working together through live demonstrations and practical examples, guided by someone working hands-on with the platform.
You'll leave with a much clearer picture of what you can build with the new Copilot Studio and how to approach multi-agent solutions.

[9:00 AM - 9:30 AM] Session 1: The New Copilot Studio Experience: Explore what's changed in Copilot Studio and what the new Copilot Harness makes possible for building AI agents.
[9:30 AM - 10:20 AM] Session 2: Building More Capable AI Agents: Go beyond basic conversations and explore how Skills, Tools, and Knowledge can give agents more capabilities.
[10:20 AM - 11:05 AM] Session 3: Skills, Tools & Workflows: Understand how these building blocks work together and when to use them to help agents handle more complex tasks.
[11:05 AM - 11:20 AM] Break
[11:20 AM - 12:10 PM] Session 4: From One Agent to Multi-Agent Systems: Explore how multiple agents can work together through routing, communication, context, and practical orchestration patterns.
[12:10 PM - 12:45 PM] Session 5: Building & Orchestrating Agents in Practice: See the concepts come together through live demonstrations and practical examples using the new Copilot Studio experience.
[12:45 PM - 1:00 PM] Session 6: Q&A & Key Takeaways: Ask your questions, discuss your use cases, and take away practical ideas for your own AI agent projects.
What You'll Learn
Build agents that can do more than answer questions using Skills, Tools, and Knowledge.
Create reusable Skills that give your agents new capabilities.
Know what to use and when across Tools, Knowledge, Skills, and Workflows to build better agents.
Use Workflows to help agents get things done and handle structured tasks.
Make multiple agents work together to tackle more complex tasks.
Connect agents and pass information between them using practical orchestration patterns.
Get hands-on with the new Copilot Studio and see what you can build with its latest capabilities.
Who Should Attend?
This masterclass is for Copilot Studio users, developers, makers and professionals who want to go beyond basic agent building and learn how to build more capable agents and multi-agent solutions. A basic familiarity with Copilot Studio or AI agents will help you get the most from the session.
