Copilot customization for Microsoft 365
According to recent data, early adopters of Copilot for Microsoft 365 report higher levels of fulfillment, creativity, and productivity. In order for Copilot to respond to queries like “What is my vacation balance?” and “Do I have any expenses to submit?”, customers also want to be able to customize Copilot for particular enterprise scenarios and link it to their systems of record, such as customer relationship management (CRM), enterprise resource planning (ERP), and human resources.
Copilot Studio uses a drag-and-drop low-code approach that includes the logic and data connectivity to answer questions based on your business data and processes, making it easy and quick to build and publish a plugin directly to Copilot for Microsoft 365.
With a few clicks, you can export all of these features into Copilot. The user-friendly graphical builder allows you to connect to your backend APIs and actions, create custom GPTs, and build generative responses over your own enterprise knowledge, including your files, SharePoint, and websites. Through the graphical builder, you can even add your own unique, manually made topic flows to these generative responses in situations where strict business control is required.
Data sources, connectors, flows, AI prompts, and custom topics are among the components of the platform that makers can import or use to create new plugins. More than 1,100 pre-built connectors, such as those for SAP, Workday, and ServiceNow, make it simple for businesses to access all of their business data. Additionally, it’s simple to construct your own connector if you need to connect a data source without one already in place.
Additionally, Microsoft facilitates the smooth integration of OpenAI’s services, and developers will soon be able to create their own unique GPTs directly within Copilot Studio. With the help of OpenAI’s GPTs, anyone can now customize ChatGPT to be more useful for particular tasks.
Building your standalone custom copilot
IT can develop and publish standalone custom copilots for your company in addition to customizing Copilot for Microsoft 365. These can be specific to a role or function, like a copilot for IT support or a copilot to assist your sales teams in completing RFPs.
You can create your copilot using natural language or the low-code graphical user interface, and Copilot Studio will assist you in iteratively improving the conversation design. Side-by-side coding views, graphical multi-authoring, and collaborative commenting are just a few of the features that the product offers to speed up solution development.
Responses over refined datasets, dynamically chained plugins, generative answers, prompt building, and prompt customization are just a few of the sophisticated features that Copilot Studio provides to improve responses using generative AI.
“Generative answers,” for instance, allow multi-turn chat over a variety of datasets, including files, SharePoint sites, websites, and data in your own custom backends. In order to fulfill user requests, “generative actions” also allow for dynamically chained plugins and calls to important business systems. Makers can easily adapt the copilot’s responses and behavior to their preferences and business needs thanks to these features, which enable them to dynamically generate multi-turn answers and dialogues that are pertinent and captivating for users.
