Description of the training: Copilot Declarative Agents Training Course
A declarative Copilot agent is a custom Microsoft 365 Copilot agent described via a manifest: instructions, knowledge sources (SharePoint, sites, files), actions and behaviour, with no coding required. At MFE-IT, we show you how to design, test and publish these agents in your tenant for specific business uses.
What is the difference between a declarative agent and a full Copilot Studio agent?A declarative agent extends Microsoft 365 Copilot via a no-code manifest, quick to produce. A Copilot Studio agent allows richer logic (workflows, connectors, topics) but requires more configuration. MFE-IT helps you decide based on the business need and the level of automation sought.
What concrete use cases can a declarative agent cover?An HR assistant that searches internal policies, a sales agent connected to the product catalogue, a support agent based on your documentation, and many more. The training helps you identify and prototype the use cases with the highest value for your teams.
How long is the Copilot Declarative Agents training at MFE-IT?The training lasts 1 day (6 hours), delivered remotely or on-site. A practical, prototyping-oriented format, so you leave with a first working declarative agent.

Our sessions are guaranteed from a single registrant, with no risk of postponement (except in cases of force majeure). A prior interview takes place between the participant and a company representative to fully take into account the participant’s profile (level, needs, professional context, challenges, etc.). Evaluation: during the training, the trainer assesses participants’ learning progress through quizzes, role-plays and practical exercises. Participants receive a certificate of achievement at the end of the training. This training is part of our catalogue.
