Official documentationCopilot, agent and Copilot Studio
Copilot: the experience
An AI experience that helps people work. It can include tools and agents, with different levels of autonomy.
Agent: defined work
An AI system that performs tasks toward a goal within configured boundaries. Agents can be embedded in Copilot experiences or used elsewhere.
Copilot Studio: the platform
Tools for building, extending and managing agents. It is one way to build agents, not the definition of an agent.
Don’t try to count every Copilot. Understand where it fits and what job it is designed to help with.
