Copilot Studio + O365 Copilot + Microsoft O365 Admin portal is a broken half-baked bug-ridden clusterfuck. It's not remotely ready for production...

You can't just publish, you have to share with a channel, and the properties (icon, name, description) are different from the agent in Studio...

But then you publish, go to O365 Admin, choose who can access it (again) and yayy! your users still can't see it in the O365 Copilot app...

Security and access is a mess, with multiple tiers of access to configure but pass-through of credentials for an MCP (or other tooling) is another tier again...

And so on. Mess about in Admin long enough and they finally see it, but... now you have a new version that you want to publish, either as an upgrade or side by side, it doesn't matter, the live agent is going to break either way...

Then there's the UI/UX: janky broken confused mess of weird choices, like sliding right hand detail panels that don't click away...

None of this is source or version controlled, when you make a mistake you manually have to reconfigure, and you can't test anything until you put it live...

As CTO, I want a clearly defined, managed and maintainable collection of tightly-controlled agents for my company. It's quite shocking how far Microsoft (the least 'wild-west' of all the vendors offering this) is from a usable product.
