I have few 365 tenant with E3 and E5 . I also have tenant with Pay-as-you-go configured.
However , none of them allow me to create CS Agent and force me to sign up for trial.
I do not want to roll out agents to other users but just want to developed them for learning purpose. What are my options . If not free what cheapest way to start developing.
I read CS agent development is free as long as tenant has that one license of CS . But that doesn't seem to be working for me. (I am not admin on this tenant)
(I do not want to rely on trial since i might go back to what i developed )

I believe you need would need at least a MS Copilot license in order for $30/mth to be able to be able to experiment with Copilot Studio

What you are referring to is probably the $200/mth message pack, which is shared with the entire organization.

I agree with the previous answer.

From what I understood during the PPCC conference last month, if you really want to practice this approach, the best option is to use a developer tenant so you won’t incur any charges.

@TechRoadie interesting. How does developer tenant help? I have two dev tenants and exhausted trials on both tenants. So I was wondering.

@venturemavenwill From whats mentioned here, it appears I need both Tenant and per user license . So as a developer i should be spending 230$ per month ?

I do have MSDN azure credits , was hoping to find way to use them . But i guess I must spend at least 30$ per month to keep learning?
