In our previous blog, we learned how to create your first agent in Microsoft Copilot Studio. Now it's time to dive deeper and explore some of the key components that make an agent intelligent and effective.

In our previous blog, we learned how to create an agent in Microsoft Copilot Studio. Today, we'll explore how to create a Topic for our travel agent, Ravisha.

A Topic represents a specific conversation flow that guides users through a process by collecting information and responding accordingly. Topics are useful when you want the agent to ask questions, gather inputs, and provide personalized responses.



Creating a Topic.

As you can see, we are currently on the Topics tab. Click Add a Topic, and you'll be presented with two options:

  • From Blank
  • Add from Description using Copilot
For this example, select From Blank.




A new window will open where you can configure your topic.

Defining the Conversation Flow.

Let's create a topic that helps users plan a trip.
The Trigger determines when the topic should be activated. For example, users might enter phrases such as:
  • Plan my trip
  • Help me plan a vacation
  • Suggest a holiday destination
  • I want to travel
When a user enters a request such as:
Plan my trip
the agent can respond with a welcome message such as:
Great! I'd be happy to help plan your trip.




After displaying the welcome message, the agent can begin collecting the necessary travel information by asking a series of questions, such as:
  • Where would you like to travel?
  • When are you planning to travel?
  • How many days would you like to stay?
  • What is your approximate budget?
  • This creates an interactive and guided user experience.
Adding a Message

To add the initial response:

Click the + button.

Select Send a message.

Enter the welcome message: "Great! I'd be happy to help plan your trip."

Click Save.

Congratulations! 🎉 You have successfully created your first topic for the Ravisha travel agent.

In the next blog, we'll learn how to ask questions, capture user responses, and store them in variables, enabling us to build more dynamic and personalized conversation flows.

Hope it helps...
