For example, if you find yourself often using Copilot to help you create multiple-choice quizzes, you could create an Agent whose sole focus is to help you do this. Essentially, they save you from having to type out or copy and paste in the same \u2018prompt\u2019 (instructions) each time. Once you\u2019ve created an Agent, you can use it yourself whenever you want, or share it with other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can also <strong>give Copilot Agents<\/strong> <strong>access to a certain amount of custom knowledge, but it needs to be within the 8,000 character limit <\/strong>(see the <a href=\"https:\/\/wp.coventry.domains\/copilotcookbook\/copilot-agents-benefits-and-limitations\/\">Copilot Agents \u2013 Benefits and limitations<\/a> page). So you probably couldn&#8217;t create an Copilot Agent with access to information about every week of your course, but you could create several Agents, each with access to information about a set week or topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The best way to understand what Copilot Agents are may be to try an <strong>example<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83e\udd16&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/m365.cloud.microsoft\/apps\/?templatedAppId=9e2962b8-7eae-4124-86f3-1799090725e1&amp;templateInstanceId=c1d4a6f9-0365-4534-ad84-91038c7ccefd&amp;environment=Default-4b18ab9a-3765-4abe-ac7c-0e0d398afd4f&amp;source=embedded-builder\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Copilot Agent \u2013 Find an Ed Tech tool!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more examples, see <a href=\"https:\/\/wp.coventry.domains\/copilotcookbook\/copilot-agents-example-agents\/\">Copilot Agents \u2013 Example Agents<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Video guides<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udcf9 <a href=\"https:\/\/media.coventry.ac.uk\/View.aspx?id=44308~5g~7RNhMTOEdB&amp;code=L7~MBTgngKtLGV5OZgjRehQWSPtKItMnifGTitRMsehuOL6irqTlwemBx7njIK4mJea9Pw0ymDuoD&amp;ax=7A~hFvv9ndSjqWGBs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Video \u2013 Creating and sharing Copilot Agents<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udcf9 <a href=\"https:\/\/media.coventry.ac.uk\/View.aspx?id=44342~5e~WGi4rIs0iE\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/media.coventry.ac.uk\/View.aspx?id=44342~5e~WGi4rIs0iE&amp;code=Ln~euD0x3fm6pU96MhKQ8cxLAoqKGL2xTfhEHpBiioEBwH8TTWgPKtRoBTZG9DXhLpCwURkctneC4&amp;ax=7H~QCynUSEes0bJII\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Video \u2013 Training recording 13\/05\/25: Copilot Agents \u2013 Create your own AI chatbot!<\/a> (Coventry sign-in required)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udcf9&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/media.coventry.ac.uk\/View.aspx?id=44151~5c~UiE26wWvnN&amp;code=Lf~W9kxSKuUr3UCsTh2QGfcRebmk6CpTcftlprJ6LjtyaJ7BafYa0m5vcWhuWgqkmjQlgGCnqVWVX&amp;ax=7F~OfUmzFhwxap9Of\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Video \u2013 Adding Copilot to Microsoft Teams<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to create your own Copilot Agents<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udcd6 <a href=\"https:\/\/wp.coventry.domains\/copilotcookbook\/copilot-agents-benefits-and-limitations\/\">Copilot Agents \u2013 Benefits and limitations<\/a> \u2013 Why use Copilot Agents rather than just sharing a prompt?
