Benefit of Copilot Studio with Azure Open AI Studio

Hi all,

 

We are working out different options of how to implement a Copilot with our own external data (a lot). It can be a standalone Copilot, so not integrated with the 365 version.

One of the options to get our data used is through the use of Azure OpenAI and ground the used LLM with the data. However, to us it feels a bit like Copilot Studio is unnecessary as in that case as we will be using the Azure AI Search for the LLM, Copilot would just be a pretty expensive frontend, with some chatbot functionalities we, in our case, don't really need? In that case we could better just build a frontend ourselves?

 

Are there other benefits of using the combination of the two?

    Good morning!

    We are doing well, hope you are as well!

    Thanks for sharing your findings, very helpful.

    We were wondering are there any benefits on combining the two?

    And how easy would it be to use our own external data in Copilot studio / what would be the best options for that?

    Thanks!

    Good morning,

     

    I hope you are doing well. Here is a little recap of some elements I found out.
    Overall, copilot studio is good when you want to build something quicky without necessarily knowing much about security or programming. If you are a decent programmer, you can try building your own frontend.

     Copilot StudioProgramming, Azure OpenAI + Azure AI Search
    PriceDepends on how many messages you send. Can be expensive.Directly proportional to the number of user queries.
    TeamworkCopying bots and versioning bots is not very practical.Git is good
    Ease of deployementVery easy.You must know a bit about programming and virtual machines.
    FlexibilityMedium. Topics work well most of the time and power automate can help with complicated operations.You can change each operation individually. It's programming.
    SecurityUses Azure entra IdMust know a bit about credentials and azure entra Id
