Good for
  • An internal help agent in Teams that answers staff questions from company documents
  • A website agent that answers customer questions from return policies and product manuals
  • An agent that processes new orders and emails confirmations automatically
  • Automating document-heavy compliance or legal review steps
  • Handling IT service requests across ticketing and internal systems
  • Building a customer-support agent grounded in company documents
  • Researching and enriching prospect lists before outreach
  • Preparing briefs before sales meetings and drafting follow-ups after calls
  • Drafting proposals from deal information
Watch out for
  • Publishing agents to channels outside Microsoft 365, such as websites, needs a standalone Copilot Studio plan
  • Prepaid credits reset monthly without rollover; at 125% of prepaid capacity, custom agents are disabled until capacity is added
  • Standalone plans require an Azure subscription to use agents
  • No self-serve paid plan; anything beyond the free tier is a custom Enterprise quote
  • Free plan: 500 runs a month, 2 projects and 1 seat
  • On-premises and VPC deployment, SSO and dedicated support are Enterprise-only
  • No published prices, free plan or self-serve plan; getting started means talking to sales
  • The only listed plan (Enterprise) uses custom action and vendor-credit allowances rather than fixed published limits
