Copilot Studio Zero to Hero: Build Copilot Agents connected to Business Central (No PhD needed!) 2/2
News Flash: You don't need to be an AL developer to build AI Agents (custom copilots) connected to Business Central data!
In this workshop, I will take you from beginner to proficient in one day. All you need to bring is a laptop and an appetite for learning.
You will learn how to create an Agent from scratch, experience how Instructions and Descriptions influence GenAI driven agents, work with different types of knowledge sources (Files, Websites, SharePoint, Dataverse, Bing Custom Search), create Actions and Power Automate Flows to work with Business Central, use Triggers for autonomous behavior, create Topics to orchestrate conversations, track performance and behavior with telemetry, and deploy your Agent to Teams, a website or within Copilot for Microsoft 365. For non-BC developers, I will also teach how you can quickly and easily create and publish custom APIs to interact with Business Central data.
Start your AI journey with this workshop and you will be the office hero when you return from this event!
