+# Copilot Studio Agents interaction
+
+This is a simple example of how to interact with Copilot Studio Agents as they were first-party agents in Semantic Kernel.
+
+![alt text](image.png)
+
+## Rationale
+
+Semantic Kernel already features many different types of agents, including `ChatCompletionAgent`, `AzureAIAgent`, `OpenAIAssistantAgent` or `AutoGenConversableAgent`. All of them though involve code-based agents.
+
+Instead, [Microsoft Copilot Studio](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-copilot-studio/fundamentals-what-is-copilot-studio) allows you to create declarative, low-code, and easy-to-maintain agents and publish them over multiple channels.
+
+This way, you can create any amount of agents in Copilot Studio and interact with them along with code-based agents in Semantic Kernel, thus being able to use the best of both worlds.
+
+## Implementation
+
+The implementation is quite simple, since Copilot Studio can publish agents over DirectLine API, which we can use in Semantic Kernel to define a new subclass of `Agent` named [`DirectLineAgent`](src/direct_line_agent.py).
+
+Additionally, we do enforce [authentication to the DirectLine API](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-copilot-studio/configure-web-security).
+
+## Usage
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Working with Copilot Studio Agents requires a [subscription](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-copilot-studio/requirements-licensing-subscriptions) to Microsoft Copilot Studio.
+
+> [!TIP]
+> In this case, we suggest to start with a simple Q&A Agent and supply a PDF to answer some questions. You can find a free sample like [Microsoft Surface Pro 4 User Guide](https://download.microsoft.com/download/2/9/B/29B20383-302C-4517-A006-B0186F04BE28/surface-pro-4-user-guide-EN.pdf)
+
+1. [Create a new agent](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-copilot-studio/fundamentals-get-started?tabs=web) in Copilot Studio
+2. [Publish the agent](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-copilot-studio/publication-fundamentals-publish-channels?tabs=web)
+3. Turn off default authentication under the agent Settings > Security
+4. [Setup web channel security](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-copilot-studio/configure-web-security) and copy the secret value
+
+Once you're done with the above steps, you can use the following code to interact with the Copilot Studio Agent:
+
+1. Copy the `.env.sample` file to `.env` and set the `BOT_SECRET` environment variable to the secret value
+2. Run the following code:
+
+```bash
+python -m venv .venv
+
+# On Mac/Linux
+source .venv/bin/activate
+# On Windows
+.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1
+
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+
+chainlit run --port 8081 .\chat.py
+```
