What if your next project manager was… an AI? And what if it actually did stuff instead of just sending calendar invites?

Welcome to the wild world of autonomous agents, powered by Microsoft Copilot. In this entertaining and hands-on session, we’ll guide you through building your very own intelligent agent—one that can reason, plan, act, and maybe even sass you a little.

Using the latest tools from the Microsoft ecosystem (including Copilot Studio, Prompt Flow, and more), you'll go from “what’s an agent?” to “I just built one that handles my emails and fetches coffee*.”

We’ll cover:

• What makes an agent autonomous (and not just a glorified macro)
• How to design, test, and deploy agents with Microsoft Copilot
• Common pitfalls (like creating a bot that schedules meetings at 3 a.m.)
• Real-world examples to impress your boss (and scare your coworkers)

Whether you're a cloud architect, an AI tinkerer, or just someone tired of doing the same tasks over and over—this session will show you how to build your new digital sidekick.
