Lesson summary

This module helps learners distinguish general Copilot chat from more focused agent experiences. The goal is to recognize when a flexible conversation is enough and when a repeatable business workflow needs a purpose-built agent.

Key ideas

  • Chat is best for broad, exploratory, or one-off assistance.
  • Agents are better when a task has a defined role, repeatable steps, and a business outcome.
  • Context, permissions, and the user’s work surface still shape the answer.
  • AB-730 scenarios often ask which Copilot experience fits the job, not which one sounds most advanced.
