Our meeting for August 2026 will take place on Wednesday, August 19th, starting at 6 PM Central Time. It will be an in-person meeting hosted at 18881 W Dodge Rd, Suite 120E, Elkhorn, NE – 68022. Our sponsor will provide food and drinks 15-20 minutes before the meeting starts.
Topic: Choose the Right Copilot for the Job: M365 Copilot, Copilot Studio, or Foundry?
Microsoft gives you four ways to build an AI agent: Agent Builder in Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot Studio, Microsoft Foundry, and the Microsoft 365 Agents SDK. Sadly there’s almost no non-marketing guidance on choosing between them.
In this session we build the same agent three times, live, so you can see each platform’s ceiling rather than take a feature chart’s word for it. You’ll get the criteria that actually drive the decision — builder persona, data gravity, governance, and cost — plus what changes now that Foundry agents publish directly into Microsoft 365 Copilot and Teams, and where Agent 365 fits once you’re running more than one. You’ll leave the session with a decision framework you can apply Monday.
