If you’ve started using AI with prompts but want something more consistent, this resource will help you take the next step. It’s a practical guide on how to build a Copilot agent – without requiring expert technical knowledge.

Rather than starting from scratch, this guide shares instructions for building three example agents you can explore. RoleStormer helps you generate ideas from different personas and perspectives. Board of Advisors helps you look at a question from multiple workplace viewpoints so you can spot agreement, tension and trade-offs. And Learner Lens helps you review communication through different learner personas to improve clarity and reduce friction.

You’ll also find straightforward guidance on how to build a Copilot agent of your own by identifying useful jobs, defining its role clearly, testing it using real examples and refining it over time.
