About Microsoft Copilot Studio
Microsoft Copilot Studio is a platform for creating custom AI agents, workflows and apps with little or no code. It belongs to the Microsoft Copilot family and is aimed at business users and makers who want to automate processes and answer questions using company data.
The product page describes four stages, create, customize, deploy and manage, with a single studio in which apps, workflows and agents can work together. Users can pick from current AI models for their scenario, and Microsoft stresses security, governance and compliance controls that protect the organization. It connects with other Microsoft Copilot experiences across Word, Excel, Teams and more.
Copilot Studio is a commercial hosted service sold through Microsoft plans, and licensing details are on the Copilot pricing page rather than in this entry. It is accessed by signing in with a work account.
