Copilot Studio - Agent Orchestration
Microsoft Copilot Studio has introduced a game-changing feature: generative orchestration. This powerful tool leverages the capabilities of generative AI to enhance the way your conversational AI agents interact with users.
Classic orchestration
Before diving into the specifics of generative orchestration, let's quickly recap the traditional approach, known as classic orchestration. In classic orchestration, agents respond to user queries by matching them to predefined trigger phrases. This method, while effective, can be limited in its ability to handle complex and nuanced user inputs.
Generative orchestration, on the other hand, takes a more proactive approach. It empowers agents to:
Select the best actions and topics: By analyzing user queries, the agent can intelligently choose the most relevant responses.
Proactively search knowledge: The agent can proactively search knowledge bases to provide accurate and informative answers.
Generate natural language responses: The agent can generate human-like responses, making conversations more engaging and natural.
Handle complex queries: The agent can break down complex queries into smaller, more manageable parts and provide comprehensive responses.
How Generative Orchestration Works
User Query: The user sends a query to the agent.
Topic and Action Selection: The agent analyzes the query and selects the most relevant topics and actions.
Knowledge Search: The agent searches knowledge bases to gather additional information.
Response Generation: The agent generates a response, combining information from topics, actions, and knowledge sources.
