Robotic Process Automation (RPA), known as Desktop Flows in Power Automate, has long been a powerful solution for bridging gaps with on-premises or legacy systems that lack APIs.
Now, Microsoft is taking automation to the next level by introducing ‘Computer Use’ capabilities directly into Copilot Studio agents, enabling agents to interact with desktop applications and perform complex tasks autonomously.
In this session, you’ll learn how to build, configure, and deploy Computer Use actions within Copilot Studio agents, and understand where this new capability fits compared to traditional Power Automate RPA flows. Through live demos and real-world examples, we’ll explore:
– What is Computer Use? How it extends Copilot Studio agents with RPA-like capabilities, Differences and similarities with Power Automate Desktop Flows.
– When and Why to Use It: Ideal scenarios for Computer Use vs. traditional RPA flows, Business cases where agent-driven automation adds unique value.
– Integration Patterns: Combining Computer Use with conversational AI for end-to-end automation, How to orchestrate workflows between Copilot Studio and Power Automate.
– Governance & Security Considerations: Managing credentials, compliance, and secure execution.
-Future Roadmap & Opportunities: What’s next for Computer Use and Copilot Studio automation.
