Imagine creating powerful AI agents tailored to your firm—without writing a single line of code. That's what Microsoft Copilot Studio delivers, offering flexibility beyond standard Copilot Chat or competitors like ChatGPT, Claude, CoCounsel, and Harvey. These agents may be conversational ("chat bots") or autonomous (regularly searching through your data looking for conditions that are important to your firm and acting when certain information is found).
What Is Copilot Studio?
Copilot Studio lets you build custom AI agents with little or no coding. These agents can answer questions, automate tasks, and integrate with your firm's data—helping you streamline processes and improve efficiency.
Licensing Options at a Glance
Microsoft is weaving Copilot into every corner of Microsoft 365—but your experience depends on your license:
Standard Access (Free) Works like ChatGPT, providing basic chatbot functionality.
Microsoft 365 Copilot Add-On ($30/month) Unlocks a more powerful AI model that can access and act on your Microsoft 365 data—saving time and reducing manual work.
This paid subscription provides substantially extended functionality, enabling you to leverage AI's best features for your workflows. This includes the ability to create custom agents using Copilot Studio.
Start With a Simple Proof of Concept
A common starting point for custom agents is an "Ask HR" chatbot that instantly answers routine HR questions by pulling from your firm's own documentation. With Copilot Studio, you can:
- Deploy bots internally at no extra cost if your team is licensed for Copilot.
- Use Microsoft's pay-as-you-go model for ultimate flexibility—paying only when someone interacts with your custom bot.
You can start small, get some wins using Copilot Studio, and then look to expand your use of Copilot AI.
