Copilot started by helping people work faster. Frontier Building is about what comes next. As organisations move beyond AI assistance, the focus shifts to automation, agents, and agent‑led workflows. This webinar looks ahead to agent builder and the next steps into Copilot Studio, showing how AI begins to act on work rather than simply support it.

Why attend?

Join this forward‑looking session to explore how organisations are progressing from individual productivity gains to agent‑driven automation. Through practical examples and demos, you’ll see how Copilot Studio enables teams to design, govern, and build agents that operate within real business processes. This session is ideal if you’re starting to ask: what does AI do once it stops being just an assistant?

Key takeaways: 

• Understanding the different types of agents: Get a clear breakdown of the agent landscape, including the different types of agents and automation patterns, and how they fit together across the stack.
• Agent governance and guardrails: As agents take on more responsibility, governance becomes essential. Learn what needs to be considered when putting guardrails in place to ensure agents operate safely, securely, and in line with organisational intent.
• Inside Copilot Studio: Explore the core components of a Copilot Studio agent, including how agents are structured and how they connect to data, tools, and workflows.
• Building your first agent: See how you can start building an agent of your own, with a practical walkthrough that shows how ideas move from concept to working agent.

Who should attend?

This session is ideal for:

• IT and digital leaders planning the next phase of Copilot adoption

• Anyone curious about Copilot Studio and the future of agentic AI
