Agent in a Day
Microsoft's official hands-on workshop for building AI agents in Copilot Studio - delivered by FutureAbility, and kept up to date as the platform evolves. You leave having built working agents, and knowing how to build your own.
Microsoft's official hands-on workshop for building AI agents in Copilot Studio - delivered by FutureAbility, and kept up to date as the platform evolves. You leave having built working agents, and knowing how to build your own.
The official Microsoft curriculum - four modules, four hands-on labs. You build as you go, from your first agent to multi-agent orchestration.
Start where your team already works. Build your first agents in Microsoft 365 Copilot - from web-grounded assistants to SharePoint-connected agents.
Create an agent from scratch. Ground it in your knowledge sources, extend it with tools, and understand what makes a good agent good.
Manage conversation state, build specialised child agents, and deploy to the channels your organisation actually uses - Teams, web, and beyond.
How generative orchestration routes requests, and the dynamic chaining patterns that take agents from prototype to production.
Because our team works with these tools every single day, we supplement the official Microsoft course content with insights about where things are heading, practical ways we're using new features, and the things that don't quite work as they should yet.
You'll hear what we've found on real builds, so you know what's changed and what it means for your own agents. One example: there's a new agent-building experience in Copilot Studio that we're already using on projects - we'll show you what it means for what you build next.
We build agents for Australian organisations, and the workshop carries what those builds have taught us.
Patterns and pitfalls from agents running in production - the things the official slides don't tell you.
Productivity agents that make people faster in Teams and Outlook, process agents that run inside a business process with a person supervising, and the cases where the right answer isn't an agent at all.
You leave understanding the difference between the agent types, what to build first, and how to get going in your own tenant.

Ricky uses these tools every day to deliver for clients, and teaches you how to. As a certified In-a-Day delivery partner, we've hosted dozens of these workshops - and attendee feedback is consistently strong on how well the day is run.
Sessions run online every two to three weeks. If you'd rather run one privately for your team, talk to us.
Anyone who wants to build agents in Microsoft Copilot Studio - business users, analysts, IT teams, and makers. If your organisation has Microsoft 365, this is the fastest way to get hands-on.
No. Copilot Studio is a low-code tool, and the workshop starts from your first agent. The later modules go deeper - multi-agent architecture and orchestration - but everything is built hands-on, step by step.
Yes. Copilot Studio evolves quickly, and we keep the workshop current - including field notes on new features we're using on real projects, and where the platform is heading.
Build your own agents in Copilot Studio, ground them in your organisation's knowledge, extend them with tools, and know which type of agent fits which problem - and when the right answer isn't an agent.
We host Agent in a Day online every two to three weeks. Dates and registration are on Microsoft's events catalogue - or contact us to arrange a private session for your team.
