Is Copilot Studio the best fit for my project?

Hi everyone,

I'm currently exploring AI solutions for an internship project aimed at assisting users, especially those with limited experience, in filling out a complex form inside of a .NET application. The goal is to simplify the process and improve user experience through AI.

I'm particularly interested in integrating Microsoft Copilot to provide real-time context-aware assistance and guidance within the application. Ideally, the application could detect if things are going wrong or slowly with filling in the form and provide context-aware solutions like instructions on how to fill in that specific field of the form.

However, I'm at a crossroads in determining the best way to incorporate this assistant effectively. From what I understand, you can publish Copilot to things like Facebook, Teams, and other chat applications, and also a custom embed. My concern is that if Copilot is only available as an embed, it might not be able to offer the in-depth, interactive help needed for users to navigate the form-filling process seamlessly.

Does anyone have experience or insights on integrating Copilot in a more integrated, perhaps API-driven manner? Is an embed the only route, or are there alternatives, such as a direct API connection, that could facilitate a more native integration within a .NET application? Furthermore, would leveraging services like Azure AI for a custom chatbot be a necessary step, or does Copilot offer sufficient capabilities for this use case without needing additional AI services?

Any advice or suggestions on how to best integrate Copilot into a .NET application for this purpose would be greatly appreciated. I'm looking for a solution that enables Copilot to provide substantial, context-aware assistance directly within the app, enhancing the user experience without the limitations of a traditional embed.

Any and all answers are appreciated 🙂

Thank you in advance for your help!
