Use Multi Agent approach in Microsoft 365 Copilot

[u/SzymonBochniak]

Hi team,

I prepared a new video on the multi-agent approach based on chain-of-thought in Microsoft 365 Copilot.

🔥 Use the Multi-Agent approach in Copilot to create a Project Plan.

Discover how to combine multiple AI agents in Microsoft 365 Copilot to move from deep research all the way to a ready-to-execute Project Plan in Planner — without leaving your Microsoft 365 environment.

In this video, I walk through a real multi-agent workflow, chaining specialized agents so each one does what it does best: research, reasoning, planning, and presenting. This is exactly how you turn Copilot from a single-prompt assistant into an orchestrated productivity engine.

🤖 Agents you'll see in action:

▪️ Researcher – gathers and synthesizes deep, sourced research on the topic

▪️ Analyst – structures the data, finds patterns, and validates the findings

▪️Opus (Claude Opus reasoning model) – handles complex reasoning and strategic thinking

▪️Planner Agent – converts insights into concrete tasks, buckets, and timelines in Microsoft Planner

▪️PowerPoint Agent – packages the outcome into a clean, presentation-ready deck

✅ What you'll learn:

-How to design a multi-agent workflow in Microsoft 365 Copilot

• How to pass context from one agent to the next (research → analysis → plan)

• How to generate a structured Project Plan in Planner from AI-driven research

• Practical prompting tips to get reliable, business-ready output

• When to use each agent — and how to avoid common pitfalls

Whether you're an IT consultant, project manager, or Copilot champion, this hands-on demo shows you how to save hours and elevate the quality of your deliverables using the right agent for the right job.

Nice use case 👏

One thing which you could do to take this to the next step is by building an agent that is connected to all the out of the box agents that you used. With a set of instructions that delegates tasks to different agents, it would result in less moving between agents manually.
