May Topic: Scaling Talent Development with Copilot Agents
Traditional talent development relies on static documents and repetitive questions that slow your team down. You can solve this by building custom AI agents with Microsoft Copilot. These agents focus on your specific SharePoint folders or PDFs instead of scanning the entire web. This ensures your employees get answers based on your actual company information. You do not need a computer science degree to build one. You describe the task in plain English and point the tool to your files. This webinar provides a blueprint to move from a small pilot to a tool that saves your company 40 hours of search time every week.
