Here is my take on the most important headline announcements about Copilot Studio from Microsoft Ignite 2024. In this video, I break down the headline announcements to help you understand what's important and why, and the direction of what we will be able to do with building agents. I cover

✅ The difference between Copilot and Agents, and where Copilot Studio fits in
✅ Autonomous and multimodal agents
✅ Improvements to the quality of generative answers, particularly for SharePoint
✅ The relationship between Copilot Studio and Azure AI and new features to bring your own model
✅ New analytics and billing options
