Which component is used to orchestrate multiple steps in an AI workflow?

In Microsoft Copilot Studio, orchestrating a multi-step AI workflow involves a combination of conversational logic within topics and backend processes executed by flows. A topic structures the user interaction, and for complex actions, it calls a Power Automate flow. This flow can connect to hundreds of data sources, execute business logic, and return results to the copilot. The term "Agent flows" best describes this end-to-end orchestration, where conversational steps and automated actions are combined to fulfill a user's request.

A. "Topics only" is incomplete, as complex workflows often require Power Automate flows for actions.

C. Static responses are simple, single-turn outputs and cannot orchestrate a multi-step process.

D. Logs are records of execution used for auditing and debugging, not for orchestrating workflows.
