Agent Flows: Build Agentic Automations You Can Trust
Microsoft Developer explains how agent flows in Microsoft Copilot Studio are designed for business-critical automation where you need predictability and control, while still allowing agentic AI steps for tasks that benefit from human-like judgment.
Overview
What agent flows are
- Agent flows are presented as a structured, deterministic sequence of actions that the builder defines.
- They can interweave agentic AI steps where adaptive decision-making is useful.
When to use agent flows
- For end-to-end automation that must be:
- Reliable and predictable where it matters (business-critical steps)
- Adaptive where it counts (judgment-oriented steps)
What the session covers
