New Agent Experience in Copilot Studio (Production-Ready Preview)

A rebuilt way to create agents in Copilot Studio, running on the GitHub Copilot engine, offered alongside the classic builder.

It runs on what Microsoft calls the GitHub Copilot harness, an enhanced orchestration runtime it credits for better response quality and reasoning
The classic building experience stays available, so this adds a path rather than replacing one
It is the experience that carries skills, memory, and Microsoft IQ, none of which exist in the classic builder
Billing moves to usage-based Copilot Credits, charged for using, building, testing, and evaluating agents
