Building an Intelligent IT License Agent with Microsoft Copilot Studio: A Complete Guide
How to Build an AI License Agent with Microsoft Copilot Studio
Picture this: An employee needs to know which Microsoft 365 license their 50-person team should get. Instead of starting a multi-day email thread with IT, they open Microsoft Teams, ask the question, and get a personalized recommendation in under 5 minutes—complete with pricing, feature comparisons, and procurement next steps.
This isn't science fiction. It's what happens when you build an intelligent conversational AI agent using Microsoft Copilot Studio.
What You'll Learn:
In this comprehensive 5,000-word tutorial, you'll discover how to build a production-ready IT license recommendation agent from scratch—no coding required.
