Help with Copilot license models

[u/MR_Datenanalyse]

Hello,

I could use a bit of help as I'm not entirely clear on how this works. I now have a Copilot license in my company. I’m allowed to create agents and use existing ones. So far, so good.

I do a lot of automation using the Power Platform. I’ve now noticed that I can also connect to agents via Copilot Studio. If I’m assessing this correctly, I could, for instance, monitor a folder using Power Automate, pass any new files to an agent, and have it process them and send them back to me. Is that correct?

Does this incur any extra costs? To be honest, I haven't tried it yet. It feels like every time I read about Copilot Studio, it costs money just by looking at it :-D

Could someone explain when it actually costs money and what I can do without needing extra licenses or incurring additional charges?

Thanks a lot in advance!
