I have created a prompt flow experience that I would like to deploy to CoPilot as an agent so employees in my company can use it. Can I do this from prompt flow or do I need to build this within the "Agent (preview)" area of Azure AI Foundry?

To deploy your prompt flow as a CoPilot Agent in Azure AI Foundry, you will need to create the agent flow within the "Agent (preview)" area of Azure AI Foundry. The prompt flow itself is designed for developing and testing AI applications, while the agent flow is specifically tailored for creating flows that can be used by employees in your organization.
You can start by creating a new agent flow in Copilot Studio, where you can define the desired functionality using natural language prompts. Once the agent flow is created, you can then deploy it for use by your employees.

Thank you.

2025-04-19T11:59:10.0433333+00:00 Thank you for the detailed response! I guess where I am still a little confused is around developing more "custom" agents. While the Copilot studio prompt route works for some cases, it's not really an option for this current case. My current prompt flow includes a layer of python that performs custom actions. Is it possible to build this in the agent preview area and then deploy to copilot?

To deploy your prompt flow as a CoPilot Agent in Azure AI Foundry, you can create a custom AI copilot that integrates your specific functionalities, including any custom Python actions. While the Copilot Studio provides a low-code approach, you can also build a more tailored agent by declaring instructions, actions, and knowledge specific to your needs.
You can leverage Azure OpenAI Service and Azure AI Search to create a conversational AI experience that meets your requirements. This allows you to integrate your custom prompt flow and deploy it effectively.

Thank You.

To build a custom Azure AI agent and integrate it with Copilot Studio. This involves creating an agent in Azure AI Foundry, customizing it with your prompt flow, and then connecting it to Copilot Studio.

To deploy your prompt flow as a CoPilot Agent in Azure AI Foundry, you first need to ensure that your prompt flow is ready for deployment. Unfortunately, the context does not provide specific details on directly customizing an AI agent with a prompt flow. However, you can customize your AI agent by editing existing content sources or adding new ones to expand its knowledge.
Once you have your prompt flow, you can publish your custom AI agent after making any necessary changes to ensure it engages with the latest content. This involves navigating to the Overview page of Copilot for Service and selecting Publish.
Kindly refer below link: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-copilot-service/get-started-quickstart#customize-your-agent
Thank You.
