Creating Declarative Agent for Microsoft 365 Copilot

In this session, Vesa Juvonen talks about the basics on creating declarative agent for Microsoft 365.

He focuses on three specific topics: Why agents in first place, how programming with LLMs is different than previous patterns and how to build your first declarative agent using Microsoft Teams Toolkit.

Declarative agents enable you to customize Microsoft 365 Copilot to help you meet the unique business needs of your users. When you build a declarative agent, you provide the instructions, actions, and knowledge to tailor Copilot for your business scenarios.

Declarative agents run on the same orchestrator, foundation models, and trusted AI services that power Microsoft 365 Copilot. By building declarative agents, you can optimize collaboration, increase productivity, and streamline workflows in your organization.

With declarative agents, you can establish consistent, personalized experiences and automate intricate processes, ranging from team onboarding to efficient resolution of customer issues. You can also add capabilities to your agent to unlock additional functionality for your users.
