Follow on LinkedIn:   / josh-turner-pmp-10608b1b7   If your business runs on Microsoft, here's how Copilot agents actually work. There's three layers to the stack and most people don't know the difference. By the end of this video you'll understand all three, and you'll have built your own contract review agent inside Copilot that runs the same workflow every time without you having to keep prompting it. What you'll learn: The 3 layers of the Copilot agent stack — Agent Builder, Copilot Studio, Power Automate — and when to use each Why Layer 1 (Agent Builder inside the Copilot app) is the 80/20 for most workflows When to graduate to Copilot Studio for triggers, sub-agents, and deeper tool connections When to bring in Power Automate flows so the agent populates your actual templates instead of generating its own version each time How to write the instructions field so the agent runs your workflow consistently Why knowledge files matter (and how to use them to push detail past the 8,000-character instruction cap) How to build a Construction Contract Reviewer agent end to end in Tier 1 How to iterate the output conversationally — refining findings, reformatting into a departure register, generating a shareable Word doc Tools: Microsoft 365 Copilot (desktop app or browser), Copilot Agent Builder, GPT-5.5 Timestamps: 0:00 - The 3 layers of Copilot agents 0:20 - Layer 1: Agent Builder (the 80/20) 0:55 - Layer 2: Copilot Studio 1:35 - Layer 3: Power Automate 2:35 - Live build: Contract Reviewer agent 4:05 - The instructions field 5:55 - Knowledge files (the depth layer) 7:15 - Suggested prompts and saving 8:05 - Running it on a real subcontract 9:15 - Reviewing the output and iterating 10:35 - Generating a shareable Word doc 12:35 - What to build next — comment your workflow #MicrosoftCopilot #CopilotAgents #CopilotForConstruction #AgentBuilder #CopilotStudio #PowerAutomate #AIForConstruction #Microsoft365Copilot #ContractorOS #ConstructionAI #NoCodeAgent #AIContractReview
