-Microsoft 365 Copilot works with different Microsoft services to help you protect your organization's data. When you're ready to deploy agents within your organization, you should consider Microsoft's recommended approach to address oversharing concerns. This approach provides the pilot, deploy, and operate phases to consider when deploying Copilot and agents. Each phase consists of activities, outcomes, and expected effort needed.

 Use the [Microsoft 365 Agents Toolkit](https://aka.ms/M365AgentsToolkit) suite of tools to create your agent. Your agent must meet responsible AI (RAI) principles, provide a valued end user experience, and meet enterprise needs. RAI involves transparency, accountability, reliability, and safety. A valued experience provides an agent that is functionally productive and includes a quality end-user experience. Enterprise needs meets the admin trust bar, as well as an overall goal for productivity and collaboration.
