Copilot Studio & Agents:  From chatbots to digital workforce 

Most AI still stops at the chat box. This session is about what comes after: agents that don't just answer questions but take part in the actual work.

We cover what separates an agent from a traditional chatbot, how Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot Studio, and Microsoft Scout fit together, and the shift that matters most - people moving from doing the work to directing the digital workers that do it. You'll leave having picked one real process, one owner, and one measure to start with.
