AI doesn’t have to be a “Black Box”. With just a few Azure tools you can take complete control over what AI is doing and get the exact results you expect….EVERY TIME.

This all-demo session will showcase how the right combination of Azure AI Search, MCP, Azure Functions, and Azure AI Foundry can consistently give exact results in Copilot Studio and Power Automate.

These techniques aren’t theoretical! They’re what took our AI practice from distrusting to being essential for how our business runs today.

Part 1: Azure AI Search

After configuring AI Search live, we’ll show example after example of how AI Search outperforms OOTB Copilot Studio connectors both in speed and accuracy.

Part 2: Complex Queries WITH Complex Transparency

When you need to ask Dataverse complicated questions, you need to get creative. We’ll build an Azure Function that leverages the TDS endpoint in Dataverse and can answer complex questions about your data, even ones that FetchXML can’t handle!

Part 3: Azure AI Foundry

Having a Copilot is nice, but what if you had a Clone-pilot? i.e. an agent that sounded exactly like you who could respond to questions so you don’t have to. We’ll explore fine-tuning in Azure AI Foundry that literally uses your data (not prompts) to sound like you, and not a robot.

Part 4: MCP

Model Context Protocol seems to replace much of what the Copilot Studio connectors used to offer, especially around Dataverse, but we’ll separate fact from fiction.

Sean is often praised as a captivating presenter with an uncanny ability to make complex topics super easy to understand, and he can’t wait to showcase these tools.
