About this tag
Copilot Studio discussions on WindowsForum.com center on Microsoft's agent-building platform and its enterprise governance, identity, and cost implications. Threads cover roadmap changes like the cancelled Teams interactive agents feature, Dataverse grounding for agents, and the GitHub Copilot harness billing credits from initial testing. Administrators and makers discuss the gap between advertised agent counts and actual production builds, as seen in State Farm's 41 production solutions, and the need for distinct agent identities and permissions before deployment. The tag also addresses data exposure risks in Windows and Microsoft 365 Copilot environments, emphasizing that endpoint controls alone cannot solve broader data-governance problems.
