Visual Studio Code is not used to create agent in Copilot Studio

Visual Studio Code is a part of the task in the test.

No, you do not use VS Code to build agents with Copilot Studio. This is the scope of the applied skill that you have mentioned https://dotnet.territoriali.olinfo.it/en-us/credentials/applied-skills/resources/study-guides/apl-7008

Are you referring to a different applied skill? What is the URL of the applied skill that you are trying to take?

From what I understood, I thought the person was referring to this assessment. In the assessment, one of the tasks involved cloning something in Visual Studio Code. I reached that part just as I lost connection to the virtual machine, so I don’t remember exactly what needed to be done. However, I clearly remember that one of the requirements was related to using Visual Studio Code.

That is a different applied skill and it does require the use of VS Code. It is not the Create agents in Microsoft Copilot Studio applied skill.

I am sorry, I added the wrong link. This is the link: https://dotnet.territoriali.olinfo.it/en-us/credentials/applied-skills/create-agents-in-microsoft-copilot-studio/

I just took it, so I know for sure that you need to do something in Visual Studio Code.

I don’t think anyone can help either. I lost connection and couldn’t reconnect to the virtual machine, and I ended up with a 13% score. Maybe it’s a common error.

Well, have you tried the Services Hub? It’s not straightforward, and even when you manage to select the right category, it sends you to the admin PowerApps page. It’s useless.

So you were correct about Visual Studio Code, this was added a few months ago but its only purpose is to clone your agents to create files on the VM so that your tasks can be scored. A script is run on the cloned files to perform the scoring.

Apparently, Create agents in Microsoft Copilot Studio is one of the most popular applied skills with quite a high pass rate.

It sounds like you're facing challenges with the evaluation process for the Microsoft Applied Skills: Create agents in Microsoft Copilot Studio. Here are a few suggestions that might help you address the issues:

Review Evaluation Criteria: Ensure that you fully understand the evaluation criteria for the agents you're building. Sometimes, the expectations for what constitutes a "perfect" agent may not be clear.
Test Your Agents: Before submitting, run your agents through various test scenarios to see if they meet the expected outcomes. This can help identify any potential issues that might not be immediately apparent.
Utilize Feedback: If you receive feedback on your submissions, use it to refine your agents. Understanding why previous submissions failed can provide insights into what needs improvement.
Check Visual Studio Code Integration: Since you mentioned issues with Visual Studio Code, ensure that the Microsoft Copilot Studio extension is properly installed and configured. Sometimes, integration issues can affect how agents are built and evaluated.
Seek Support: If problems persist, consider reaching out to Microsoft support or community forums. Other users may have experienced similar issues and can offer solutions.
Practice and Iterate: Building agents can be complex, and it often takes multiple iterations to get everything right. Keep practicing and refining your skills in Copilot Studio.

By focusing on these areas, you may be able to improve your chances of passing the evaluation and achieving your credential.
