Join me for a joint webinar with AvePoint’s Timothy Boettcher!
In AvePoint’s Part 1 of our Agent Showdown, they broke down the “Agent Menu” from SharePoint Agents to the M365 Agents Toolkit and how to govern them. Now, the real work begins.
Out of the box, Microsoft 365 Copilot only has access to the underlying LLM’s baseline knowledge and some content in your Microsoft 365 tenant. But your organization’s true “brain” lives outside those walls—in manuals, SOPs, inventory systems, ERPs, and CRMs. How do you actually bridge that gap?
Custom agents are the answer. But as AvePoint hinted in their first showdown, the “How” is just as important as the “What.” How do you choose between the rapid-fire SharePoint Agents, the low-code power of Copilot Studio, or the pro-code precision of Declarative Agents via the M365 Agents Toolkit (ATK)? The agent creation option you choose can have unforeseen implications on the performance and capabilities of your agent!
You know the drill! 👉 Join Timothy & I at high noon on Friday, May 15, 2026 for Part 2. We’ll arm you with the breakdown of each building path so you can decide which one makes the most sense for your organization.
Key Points You’ll Learn
- Learn how to extend Microsoft 365 Copilot beyond the tenant to reach your “source of truth” data in external systems.
- A head-to-head comparison of SharePoint Agents, Agent Builder, Copilot Studio, and Declarative Agents.
- How the choices you make during the build phase (Part 2) impact your ability to govern using AgentPulse (Part 1).
