Agentic AI Evolves: Microsoft Introduces Copilot Studio for All Users

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I break down how Microsoft is
redefining the agentic AI landscape with Copilot Studio Lite and
Full Experience, offering tailored tools for both low-code
creators and enterprise-grade developers.


Highlights


00:03 — Microsoft has announced the launch of
Copilot Studio Lite and Copilot Studio Full Experience, two
versions of Copilot that, in the words of Principal Solution
Architect Rémi Dyon, "empower everyone from information workers
to developers to build intelligent agents tailored to their
needs."


00:23 — Microsoft Copilot Studio is a low-code
platform that enables users to build and customize AI agents to
operate across Microsoft 365 and LOB (line-of-business) systems.
Now, Copilot Studio provides two ways to operate: a Lite
experience (formerly Agent Builder), which is integrated directly
into the Microsoft 365 Copilot app, or a Full Experience, as a
standalone web portal.


01:17 — When choosing which option is right for
you, Microsoft suggests acknowledging four key criteria:
audience, deployment, scope, functionality, and governance needs.
Dyon describes the changes as a "clarity upgrade," which is
significant.


01:34 — The AI Wars have evolved into the
Agentic AI Wars. One defining trend is the emphasis on clarity.
This clarity applies to how tools are operated, the range of
users who can access them, and marketing strategies. A simple
name change like this may not seem like a huge leap, but
Microsoft is defining a category focused on agent development
rather than just agent deployment.
