Copilot Studio: Custom AI Agents for Your Organisation

Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365 is powerful for general productivity tasks but it does not know your specific business processes, proprietary data, or line of business systems. Copilot Studio lets Evocate build custom agents that do. These agents answer questions from your organisational knowledge, execute actions in your business systems, and guide users through your specific workflows using natural language.

A Copilot Studio agent can be as simple as a knowledge base chatbot that answers staff questions about HR policies from your SharePoint content, or as complex as a multi step orchestrator that qualifies sales leads, checks inventory in your ERP, generates quotes, and routes approvals through your existing business rules.

Evocate designs, builds, tests, and deploys Copilot Studio agents that solve real problems for your teams. We connect agents to SharePoint, Dynamics 365, SQL databases, REST APIs, and custom systems through plugins and connectors. We establish governance controls so agents operate within defined boundaries with appropriate human oversight. Call 1300 386 228 to discuss what you want your agent to do.

Knowledge Base Agents

Knowledge Base Agents

Evocate builds agents grounded in your organisational content. Staff ask questions in natural language and get accurate answers sourced from your SharePoint documents, policies, procedures, and knowledge bases with citations showing where the information came from.
Process Automation Agents

Process Automation Agents

Evocate builds agents that execute multi step business processes through conversation. Users describe what they need in natural language and the agent handles the orchestration across multiple systems, collecting information, making decisions, and triggering actions.
Plugins and Connectors

Plugins and System Connectors

Evocate builds custom plugins that connect Copilot Studio agents to your line of business systems. CRM data, ERP records, HR systems, ticketing platforms, and proprietary databases become accessible through conversational AI without users needing to learn each system.
Agent Governance

Governance and Deployment

Evocate establishes governance frameworks that control what agents can access, what actions they can take, and how they are deployed across your organisation. Testing, monitoring, and continuous improvement ensure agents remain accurate and useful over time.

What Is Copilot Studio and Why Does It Matter?

Microsoft Copilot Studio is a platform for building custom AI agents that extend Microsoft Copilot with organisation specific knowledge, actions, and workflows. Agents can be deployed in Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, websites, and custom applications, providing conversational AI assistance grounded in your data and connected to your systems.

Organisation specific AI

Unlike generic AI assistants, Copilot Studio agents are grounded in your documents, connected to your systems, and trained on your workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions

Microsoft Copilot is a general productivity assistant built into Microsoft 365 applications. Copilot Studio is a platform for building custom agents that are grounded in your specific organisational knowledge, connected to your business systems, and designed for your specific workflows. They complement each other.
Agents can answer questions from organisational documents, execute actions in business systems, guide users through processes, create records, trigger workflows, and provide conversational interfaces to any system with an API. The scope depends on what you connect and what rules you define.
No. Copilot Studio can be licensed independently through per message pricing or included capacity. You do not need Copilot for Microsoft 365 E3/E5 licences for your users to interact with custom agents built in Copilot Studio.
A simple knowledge base agent grounded in SharePoint content can be built and deployed in 2-3 weeks. Complex agents with custom plugins, multi system integration, and sophisticated conversation flows typically take 6-10 weeks.
We implement citation requirements so agents reference source documents, configure content moderation guardrails, build comprehensive test case libraries, monitor conversation quality metrics, and iterate based on user feedback and analytics.
Evocate is a Microsoft Solutions Partner with deep experience in Microsoft 365 information architecture, Power Platform, and AI implementation. We understand how to ground agents in well governed content and connect them to enterprise systems securely.
