Microsoft 365 Copilot: Module 2 - Copilot Studio Intensive Training
Advanced · 5 half days or flexible as in-house training · In-House
This workshop gives you a solid foundation in Microsoft Copilot Studio. You'll get to know the platform architecture and the agent concept and build your first declarative and conversational agents.
We'll show you how to integrate knowledge sources, implement simple automations with Power Automate, and deploy your agents in Microsoft Teams or other channels. You'll also learn how to structure, test, and securely roll out agents in your organization using instructions, topics, and actions.
After the workshop, you'll understand the key concepts and be able to develop your first production-ready agents on your own.

Learn with Robin Böhm
Hey! Ich bin Robin Böhm – Software-Enthusiast, Autor, Berater und Gründer mit Fokus auf Web und Künstliche Intelligenz. Ich helfe Menschen und Unternehmen, moderne Technologien praktisch einzusetzen – von JavaScript und Angular bis hin zu KI-Systemen und Automatisierung. Mein Schwerpunkt liegt dabei bewusst nicht auf der Entwicklung oder dem Training komplexer Modelle, sondern auf der konkreten Anwendung: Wie lassen sich mit vorhandenen KI-Technologien echte Probleme lösen, Prozesse automatisieren und messbarer Mehrwert schaffen? Ich glaube daran, dass die größten Potenziale dort entstehen, wo Menschen KI direkt in ihrem Arbeitsalltag einsetzen. **Stationen:** - 2012: Bachelorarbeit mit frühen Berührungspunkten zu Künstlicher Intelligenz - 2013: Gründung von Angular.DE - 2013: Autor des ersten deutschen Angular-Buchs - 2014: Gründung von Symetics (heute Workshops.DE) - 2015: Übernahme von reactjs.de von unseren Freunden bei 9elements - 2017: Gründung von VueJS.DE - 2018: Entwicklung eines KI-basierten Prototyps zur Generierung von Lernvideos - 2019: Start der Konferenzreihen NG-DE und VueJS Conf (über 1000 Teilnehmende) - 2020: Gründung der Coding Bootcamps Europe GmbH (AZAV-geförderte Ausbildungen) - 2023: Strategischer Fokuswechsel von Webentwicklung hin zu KI-Technologien - 2024: Gründung von ai-automation-engineers.de (KI-News und Praxiswissen) Heute vermittle ich praxisnah, wie Teams mit KI-gestützten Workflows, Agenten-Systemen und Automatisierung ihre tägliche Arbeit effizienter und wirkungsvoller gestalten können.
