From First Steps to Deep Dives - Copilot Studio & Lisa Crosbie

Lisa Crosbie's new book is the practical walkthrough I wish I'd had when I started building agents.

If you’re trying to wrap your head around Copilot Studio and the ever-expanding menu of agent-building options, Lisa Crosbie just handed us a gift.

Her new book Microsoft Copilot Studio Step by Step is exactly what it sounds like: a practical walkthrough for customizing Copilot and creating agents, written by someone who actually knows the territory.

Before you dive in, her video breaking down the Copilot Studio tooling options is worth 15 minutes of your time. Even living and breathing Copilot every day, it was a perfectly sized encapsulation of which tools I reach for and why.

Enjoying the read?

I send a short email once a month — behind-the-scenes notes, honest takes, and first word on workshops. No spam, no fluff.
