Maybe we should first look at What is Copilot? Well we all remember clippy (or at least we remember those old folks talking about it).

Whenever you didn’t want help clippy would pop up trying to be helpful with things that we already knew in the first place.
Now Copilot is fairly similar,. Microsoft has added these little Copilot helpers, known as Agents, within nearly all their products. Just imagine for one moment if Microsoft had made the same investment in Clippy as they currently have in AI with Copilot.

Activities in Copilot Studio
After Activities in an Agent in Copilot Studio come the Activities. Activities are what the steps are in flows in Power Automate

Once you have had a look at the Activities in Copilot Studio, the next step is Actions in Copilot Studio. Actions can get you to most of the connectors available within the Power Platform.
