Copilot Studio Agents can use files as knowledge sources to reason over when they respond to user prompts. We explain how to use the monthly PDFs issued for the Office 365 for IT Pros and Automating Microsoft 365 with PowerShell eBooks as knowledge sources. If you’ve got Microsoft 365 Copilot licenses, this is an interesting way to interact with the books.

Copilot agents are part of Microsoft’s Wave 2 initiative launched in September 2024. Basically, an agent restricts Copilot queries to a defined set of content, meaning that the response generated by Copilot is much more precise and won’t be affected by information found in other sites. The wizard makes it very easy to create a new custom agent. Some features are missing, but they’re on the way.
