# Developing And Extending Copilot

> This article explores tools for developing and extending Copilot services using Copilot Studio and Azure AI Studio for low-code and pro-code environments.

In this guide, we dive into the tools available for developing and extending Copilot services. Microsoft presents two powerful environments: Copilot Studio and Azure AI Studio. Both platforms offer unique features tailored to different development approaches, whether you prefer a low-code solution for rapid deployment or a pro-code environment for advanced customization.

## Copilot Studio

Copilot Studio is built for low-code development, making it accessible to developers who want to create Copilot applications with minimal coding effort. As a fully managed SaaS solution hosted by Microsoft, it minimizes infrastructure management while delivering robust functionality. Key features include:

* **Conversational Design:** Create interactive and dynamic user conversations effortlessly.
* **Analytics and Governance:** Benefit from extensive security measures, data oversight tools, and actionable insights.
* **Versatile Deployment:** Deploy your Copilot across multiple channels—such as web applications, social media, and platforms like Teams—to reach your audience wherever they are.
