In the last post I explained how you can build a CoPilot using the Azure OpenAI Studio in this blog post we will do the same with the CoPilot Studio. Here we will also utilize the Azure OpenAI Service. Lets have an quick look into this topic as well:

What are the prerequisites

• A license for Microsoft Copilot Studio (or an existing Power Virtual Agents license).
  • It is also possible to start with an free trial

• Your Microsoft 365 tenant admin to deploy the Dynamics 365 and Copilot Studio app in the Microsoft 365 admin center.
• Access to the limited preview, by submitting a support ticket.

How to start

Open the CoPilot Studio via https://web.powerva.microsoft.com/ and login.

• Click on New copilot

• Enter a Name for your CoPilot and select the language.

Once this is done the bot is created and we have to add your custom data via skills. But bevor lets have an look which functionalities are available

The Studio

There are basically 3 essential parts. #1 is the menu element, where you can select the options to create plugins, add your documents, build flows or everything else. #2 is the Copilot playground to test stuff and and validate that everything works after you configure it. The third part is the Main Part where you can take the configurations for the different options in #1.

Add your Documents

Go to Settings -> Generative AI and upload a document. In my case I used an export of an Microsoft Learn docs.

Thats it? Lets test it with asking a question about this document.

The answer is bad. Lets have an look what is missing. It was to easy. I forgot to activate the “Improve the reach of the conversation with generative responses“. Now the CoPilot answer with content from the documents.

Create a KI Plug-In

We have to create an PlugIn for this document. But how does it work? There are two kinds of PlugIns. One is an KI Plug-In like this:

Here you got an Input / Input Variables and with this and Answer will be generated using GPT. This is an example for an Text classifier. You gave the model an Text and some Categories and it will assign a category to the text.

The second one is an Conversational PlugIn. Here you can build an kind of flow:

This flow offers you the full flexibility to connect to your data via the. GPT Playground, make Conditions, Prompt for Auth an much more.

How to Integrate in Teams?

Also this is very easy. You can select Channels in the Settings and select Microsoft Teams.

• Select activate Teams and thats it.

Now you will find your your CoPilot in the Teams AddOns
