At the start of this year, we embarked on an exciting journey to revolutionize our Microsoft Copilot for Sales solution with a new extensibility story. Our goal was to empower customers and partners to enrich Copilot with their own data and insights using their preferred tools. Recently, we reached a significant milestone by launching this solution in preview, making Copilot for Sales one of the first role-based Microsoft Copilots that can be seamlessly extended through Microsoft Copilot Studio.
Additionally, we partnered with a number of innovative ISVs to enhance our Copilot; resulting in the delivery of multiple extensions across chat, embedded canvas experiences, and our contextual side car, showcasing the versatility and potential of our platform.
We also had the privilege of showcasing these groundbreaking achievements at the 2024 Microsoft Build conference. The response from attendees, customers, MVPs, and our partner and ISV community was overwhelmingly positive. We were inspired by the enthusiasm and numerous unique use cases shared with us, highlighting the potential of Copilot Studio to transform sales processes with new extensible solutions.
Our presence at Build included three key sessions:
Mechanics Presentation for Extending Copilot for Sales with Microsoft Copilot Studio
This session demonstrated how Copilot for Sales can seamlessly integrate data from both internal and external systems using generative AI. Attendees were shown how to use zero-code solutions to connect their data with Copilot Studio, creating custom AI skills that enhanced sales workflows. Key highlights included enriching email summaries with CRM data, generating personalized meeting prep documents, and utilizing external data to inform sales interactions. The session also covered how to set up and test these extensions within Copilot Studio, ensuring that users could easily replicate these enhancements in their own environments.
