The Microsoft ecosystem is evolving rapidly, and with the rise of agentic experiences, it’s becoming increasingly important to understand which types of agents you can deploy, where they fit best and how to create them.

In this workshop, we’ll break down the different types of agents available across the Microsoft stack and explore where they thrive—from Power Apps Canvas Apps to Model-Driven Apps, and beyond. You’ll gain a clear understanding of the strengths and limitations of each approach, helping you make informed design choices depending on your business scenario.

We’ll take a hands-on look at Agent Feed, show how to deploy agents into Power Apps, and discuss real-world considerations such as user experience, scalability, and performance. Beyond the technical setup, we’ll also cover the often-overlooked but critical aspects of sustainability, Application Lifecycle Management (ALM), and governance, ensuring your agent solutions remain secure, manageable, and future-proof.

Whether you’re building your first agent or refining an existing strategy, this session will equip you with the practical knowledge, patterns, and guardrails needed.

It’s time to take a step back. It’s time to look at solid foundations, instead of chasing the latest technology trends in a mad rush. And yes, it’s finally time to stop talking about one thing first – “Age…” – ah, nearly slipped up there 😉

In this workshop, That Thing That Must Not Be Named is important. But we need to answer some other questions first. How can we best succeed with adopting this technology, in a scalable and effective way? What do we need to do first in our tenants to prevent an explosion of yet more discarded IT assets? And how can we tie together the various Microsoft cloud technologies to realise this?

This workshop is ideal if you’ve moved beyond the hype, and need practical insights and tips on how to rollout That Thing That Must Not Be Named into your organisation. Ideal for both architects and tenant administrators alike, our workshop will breakdown all of the important Power Platform, Microsoft 365, Microsoft Purview, Agent 365 and additional capabilities, and give you blueprint that you will build out during the day that will:

* Implement healthy Application Lifecyle Management (ALM)
* Protect your organisational data
* Provide a detailed overview of everything created in your environments and tenants
* Allow you to proactively detect problematic usage patterns
* Collect all of the key information points into a unified solution for reporting and analytics

By the end of the day, through a mixture of theory, demos and hands-on labs, you can take this blueprint and apply it within your own environment, so that you can confidently grasp the opportunity on offer to modernise, automate and transform your processes.

Come prepared to cut through the marketing fluff, to push your skills to the next level and to have some fun with our generative AI “swear jar”, as both presenters and attendees try to avoid saying that word and raise some money in the process for a worthwhile cause.

What
A full-day, hands-on workshop that goes deep into two of the most powerful and distinct automation capabilities inside Copilot Studio — Agent Flows and Computer Use. Attendees build the same real-world automation scenario twice, using each approach independently, then analyze the architectural trade-offs, performance characteristics, and governance implications of both. By end of day they have hands-on experience with both capabilities and a clear decision framework for choosing between them on any future project.

Why
Agent Flows and Computer Use represent fundamentally different philosophies of automation — one structured and API-driven, the other adaptive and UI-driven. Most practitioners have experimented with one or the other, but rarely have they had the structured time and guidance to go deep on both simultaneously. Without that comparative experience, architects and developers make technology choices based on familiarity rather than fit — and that costs projects time, money, and maintainability. This workshop fixes that by giving attendees the rare opportunity to build, compare, and critically evaluate both approaches in a controlled, expert-guided environment.

How
The day is structured as six progressive lab modules:
1. Architecture overview — how Agent Flows and Computer Use work under the hood, where each fits, and where each breaks down
2. Building the automation scenario with Agent Flows — triggers, conditions, actions, and error handling
3. Extending Agent Flows with advanced patterns — parallel branches, loops, adaptive cards, and human-in-the-loop approvals
4. Rebuilding the same scenario with Computer Use — UI interaction, screen recording, element targeting, and fallback handling
5. Stress-testing both approaches — performance, failure modes, maintainability, and governance implications
6. Decision framework workshop — mapping real-world automation requirements to the right approach using a structured evaluation model

Each module combines a structured demo with a hands-on lab, and module 6 uses real scenarios brought by attendees to make the decision framework immediately practical.

Who
Power Platform developers, RPA specialists, automation architects, and consultants who are evaluating or actively adopting agentic automation capabilities in enterprise environments. Skill level 300-400. Prerequisites: solid working knowledge of Copilot Studio, familiarity with Power Automate cloud flows, basic understanding of UI automation concepts desirable but not mandatory.

Top 3 Key Takeaways
1. Deep hands-on experience with both Agent Flows and Computer Use — built on a real automation scenario — giving you the practical confidence to architect and deliver either approach on your next project.
2. A structured decision framework for evaluating any automation requirement against both approaches — covering technical fit, governance risk, maintainability cost, and long-term scalability.
3. A clear understanding of where each approach breaks down in production — failure modes, edge cases, and governance boundaries that only emerge when you push both capabilities beyond the happy path.
