Overview
Most people use Copilot for one-off chats. Agents are different: a custom assistant built for a specific, repeated job. Over one full day you will get hands-on with Microsoft’s flagship pre-built agents, Researcher and Analyst, then build your own from scratch in Copilot Chat’s Agent Builder. You will also meet ‘Amy’, an agent that helps you build other agents, and leave with at least two working agents you made yourself. This day builds agents in Copilot Chat, not Copilot Studio (that is the more technical next stage).

Why TrainAI exists
TrainAI was built by Heather Murray – BBC and UK government AI advisor, regularly featured in Forbes, and founder of AI for Non-Techies.
After years of delivering AI training to organisations like Johnson & Johnson, GSK, Toyota, and the House of Lords, she kept hearing the same thing from other trainers: “I know AI matters, but I don’t have the time or the confidence to build courses from scratch.”
