AGENTS
4 pieces tagged agents.
01
What an agent actually costs you
Agents are billed in Copilot Credits, and the runtime you pick decides the bill. Most agent business cases are costed in the wrong unit.
02
Who owns the agent
An agent acts under someone's authority. Deciding whose is an organisational design question, and most agent programmes have not answered it.
03
Agent Builder or Copilot Studio
Start in Agent Builder. Move to Copilot Studio when you need Actions, another audience, or lifecycle controls. Copying across is cheap.
04
The agent inventory you don't have
The Agent 365 registry is available on every Microsoft 365 plan, your tenant already contains agents nobody commissioned, and almost nobody has looked.
