contents Building a successful AI copilot requires a systematic approach. This paper is divided into two sections, covering the design and evaluation of a copilot respectively. A case study of developing copilot templates for the retail domain by Microsoft is used to illustrate the role and importance of each aspect. The first section explores the key technical components of a copilot's architecture, including the LLM, plugins for knowledge retrieval and actions, orchestration, system prompts, and responsible AI guardrails. The second section discusses testing and evaluation as a principled way to promote desired outcomes and manage unintended consequences when using AI in a business context. We discuss how to measure and improve its quality and safety, through the lens of an end-to-end human-AI decision loop framework. By providing insights into the anatomy of a copilot and the critical aspects of testing and evaluation, this paper provides concrete evidence of how good design and evaluation practices are essential for building effective, human-centered AI assistants.
