BUILD
THE STACK.
The main guide showed you the architecture. This is the hands-on build — six walkthroughs that take you from a blank Copilot Studio screen to a live lead-agent system running in Teams.
Each step is self-contained, with exact clicks, the screens you’ll see, and copy-ready prompts. Work them in order the first time. After that, jump to whichever one you need.
The Six Steps
Pick Your Starting Point
01
Audit Your Workers — Map every repetitive task you do into discrete, automatable jobs. You can’t build a lead until you know what it leads.
02
Build the Workers — Create your first narrow agents in Copilot Studio. Single-task, tested, reliable.
03
Build the Lead — Create the orchestrator agent and write the routing logic that gives it authority over the workers.
04
Wire the Flows — Connect lead to workers using Power Automate. The plumbing that makes handoffs actually happen.
05
Set the Guardrails — Build escalation and fallback logic so agents fail loud, not silent.
06
Ship to Teams — Publish, test with real input, and read the analytics that tell you what to fix.
Before you start
You need a Microsoft work account with Copilot Studio access and permission to create Power Automate flows. If you’re not sure you have it, Step 1 includes how to check. This whole build runs inside Microsoft 365 — Teams, Outlook, SharePoint. No outside tools required.
