WIP
Copilot Studio is amazing, the licensing is complex, the AI integration is excellent. Architects really need to understand Licensing and billing or AI will get out of control. The Purview and governance looks very good.
MS Build 2025:
MCP Server in Preview - possible to collect data from other AI services or write back.
Connector Kit - So can add custom connectors to from Power Platform Connectors including Copilot Studio - sounds great.
Agent Flow - Added functionality added to Power Automate flows (Copilot Studio aware), deployed via solutions.
Licensing
You need to be aware:
- M365 agents - need all end users to have M365 copilot licences, retail $20/user.
- Copilot Studio - Makes need copilot studio AI Studio/maker licence $30/retail, users don't need any licence to use but ..
- Each prompt generates multiple messages, these are all billable (complex to calculate)
- (If you use Copilot Studio and it calls Azure AI Foundry, also bills Tokens (also complex to estimate)
- Copilot Studio is using AI Foundry connector, it is a Premium connector)
