MS-4015: Build Custom Engine Agents with M365 Agents SDK

The MS-4015: Build Custom Engine Agents with the Microsoft 365 Agents SDK course teaches developers how to create custom AI agents using the M365 Agents SDK, covering custom engine agent development, Teams integration, and deployment strategies. This hands-on 4-hour course guides developers through building, testing, and deploying custom engine agents within the Microsoft 365 ecosystem. Esamatic srl, a Microsoft Learning Partner in Milan, delivers this course with Microsoft Certified Trainers.

• M365 Agents SDK: leverage the SDK to build custom engine agents with full control over AI orchestration
• Custom Engine Agents: create agents with custom language models and processing logic beyond Copilot defaults
• Teams Integration: deploy agents as Teams apps with conversational interfaces and adaptive cards
• Agent Orchestration: implement multi-step reasoning, tool calling, and context management in agents
• Deployment: package, test, and publish agents to Microsoft 365 environments

Course Overview: MS-4015 Custom Engine Agents with M365 Agents SDK

The Microsoft 365 Agents SDK empowers developers to build custom engine agents that go beyond standard Copilot extensions by using their own AI models and orchestration logic. The MS-4015 course provides practical, hands-on experience building these agents from scratch, integrating them into Teams, and deploying them to production environments.

Learning Objectives

1. Build custom engine agents — use the M365 Agents SDK to create agents with custom AI models and processing pipelines
2. Implement agent logic — develop multi-step reasoning, tool integration, and context management for intelligent agent behavior
3. Integrate with Teams — deploy agents as Teams applications with conversational UI, adaptive cards, and message extensions
4. Deploy and manage agents — package agents for distribution, configure permissions, and manage agent lifecycle in Microsoft 365

Who Should Attend

This course is designed for developers and software engineers with coding experience who want to build custom AI agents using the Microsoft 365 Agents SDK, particularly those seeking to create agents with custom language models and orchestration logic.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the MS-4015 course about?

MS-4015 teaches developers how to build custom engine agents using the Microsoft 365 Agents SDK, covering agent creation, Teams integration, and deployment to Microsoft 365 environments.

What is a custom engine agent?

A custom engine agent uses its own AI model and orchestration logic rather than relying solely on the Copilot engine. This allows developers to use custom language models, specialized processing, and unique interaction patterns.

How long is the MS-4015 course?

The MS-4015 course is 4 hours, providing focused hands-on experience building and deploying custom engine agents.

What is the difference between MS-4014 and MS-4015?

MS-4014 covers foundational concepts and environment setup, while MS-4015 is a hands-on course focused specifically on building custom engine agents with the M365 Agents SDK.
