As artificial intelligence matures from passive assistants into intelligent, active problem solvers, a new category of AI is emerging, Agentic AI. These agents do more than respond to prompts; they perceive, plan, reason, and take action toward achieving goals, often independently. While their potential is transformative, such autonomy demands a considered, principled approach to design and is not something we should rush into straight to build like we’ve done in the past with Canvas Apps and other pieces of innovation. Structure adoption is crucial here!
This guide outlines foundational guidelines for designing Agentic AI systems that are helpful, transparent, reliable, and have appropriate guardrails for interacting with humans, and also without. Especially as i’ve seen an increase in people using Copilot Studion.
