Lessons
Deliver rich agent responses using Adaptive Cards in Microsoft Copilot Studio
- Configure formatted responses using text, images, videos, and quick replies
- Design informational Adaptive Cards for agent responses
- Use interactive Adaptive Cards to collect structured user input
- Customise cards using the built-in designer and JSON
- Apply channel-specific design considerations for Teams, web, and other surfaces
Take action from agent conversations using topics and tools in Microsoft Copilot Studio
- Add tools to topics to perform real-time actions
- Call agent flows from topics to automate business processes
- Use HTTP request nodes to retrieve and send data
- Handle inputs, outputs, and errors in topic-based actions
- Integrate conversations with external REST APIs
Generate AI-powered agent responses using generative answers in Microsoft Copilot Studio
- Configure generative answers in agent topics
- Connect custom knowledge sources
- Shape AI responses with custom instructions

- Define child agent names, descriptions, and instructions
- Configure inputs and outputs between parent and child agents
- Manage child agents by enabling, disabling, redirecting, or deleting them
Build multi-agent solutions using connected agents in Copilot Studio
- Connect to existing Copilot Studio agents
- Connect Microsoft Foundry agents to a Copilot Studio orchestrator
- Connect Microsoft Fabric Data agents for natural language data queries
- Manage connected agents
- Test connected agent solutions for accurate orchestration
Build cross-platform multi-agent solutions using the Agent2Agent protocol
- Explain Agent2Agent protocol and its role in agent integration
- Compare A2A with MCP and other integration options
- Connect Copilot Studio agents to external A2A-enabled agents
- Configure authentication for A2A connections
- Validate agent delegation and review A2A message payloads
Integrating Agents with Enterprise Systems
In this section, learners connect Copilot Studio agents to enterprise systems, tools, services, and knowledge sources. They learn how to evaluate integration patterns, configure connectors and APIs, ground agents with enterprise knowledge, and connect agents to external systems using MCP.
