What the notice says

Microsoft’s text, safely structured

We are announcing the enhancement to improve support for building Copilot Chat agents, also known as declarative agents, that provide authoritative answers and standardized content in Copilot Studio. This feature will reach general availability on October 26, 2026. How does this affect me? Copilot Studio users will see the following capabilities when building Copilot Chat agents:

  • Topics for deterministic conversational flows
  • Connected agents to delegate work
  • Evaluations to improve agent quality
  • Monitoring to track agent usage
  • Native Copilot Chat preview with Activity Map to test and understand what users see
  • Agent lifecycle management to deploy separate versions of an agent across development, test, and production environments

Copilot Chat agents can provide authoritative answers, such as standardized responses to HR questions or content that follow brand guidelines and legal requirements. What action do I need to take? This message is for awareness, and no action is required. To prepare for this update, we recommend that you:

  • Review the new capabilities and determine whether they can improve your existing Copilot Chat agent development processes.
  • Update any internal documentation or training materials related to Copilot Studio agent development as needed.
  • Communicate these new capabilities to makers and development teams that build Copilot Chat agents.
