When we talk about what it costs to build an AI agent in Copilot Studio, a lot of things play into it, and this doesn’t just stop at deciding which Agent Harness in Copilot Studio fits the business requirements. You also need to understand how cost consumption works for the Agent Harness you have selected. For instance, if you have selected Microsoft Copilot Harness (GitHub Copilot Harness), this consumes Copilot credits during creation, testing, and runtime, so the way you have designed the agent matters a lot. And when we look into the design of the AI Agent, we are also looking into the model. What model are you selecting, and does it fit your requirements? Because you can’t just select any model you see. Different models differ in how much they consume for the same request, especially when it comes to reasoning models. Also, you need to decide how many grounding sources we are attaching to that agent, because when the agent has a lot of sources to process, it consumes more data. And this is where I think an Orchestration agent is a great way to work, where we have specialized agents handling specific areas of expertise. We also need to be accountable for how many tools and actions our AI Agent is calling, while also considering the complexity of the tasks the agent would be running. Do you consider cost when designing your AI agents? #AIAgent #CopilotStudio #AgentHarness
