Create Your Own AI Agents: A Step-by-Step Guide

Nowadays, AI agents can be created even without deep programming knowledge. In our video, we use Microsoft’s Agent Builder.

AI agents represent the next evolution in generative AI, acting as assistants in daily tasks: enhancing and automating critical processes on departmental and organizational levels while also boosting personal productivity. Thanks to user-friendly tools, these agents can be built even without programming skills. One such tool is Microsoft Copilot Agent Builder, which allows you to create custom agents and share them within small teams. 

In this video, we show you how to create a Copilot Agent designed to handle specific tasks in your company. 

Our example: Extracting ServiceNow Incidents

For this demonstration, we aim to build an agent capable of extracting ServiceNow incidents. Through a chat-based interface, you interact with the Agent Builder. It will ask follow-up questions and help you configure the agent effectively. 

The creation process is summarized in five steps (a detailed explanation is provided in the video – only in German): 

  1. Open the Agent Builder: Within Microsoft Copilot Studio, click "Create an Agent" to access the Agent Builder. 
  2. Select a template or start a new agent: Either choose from existing templates or create a new agent from scratch. 
  3. Initiate a chat conversation: Begin interacting with the Agent Builder via its chat interface and provide specific instructions for your agent. 
  4. Configure the agent: Define the agent’s description and specify the data it is allowed to use. Add Graph Connectors if needed to link additional tools as information sources. 
  5. Test and share the agent: Test your agent in your Copilot app and share it with your team. 
Conclusion

AI agents are indispensable assistants for any company seeking to streamline its processes and improve efficiency. Leverage the capabilities of the Agent Builder to create tailored agents that handle specific tasks in your organization. Give it a try and discover the versatile possibilities the Agent Builder offers.
