AI-102 Practice Question: Implement natural language processing solutions
You are developing a conversational agent using Microsoft Copilot Studio that must handle complex multi-turn conversations. The agent needs to maintain context across multiple user inputs. Which feature should you use?
⚠ Common exam trap
It's easy for candidates to confuse 'global variables' (which store data) with the conversation flow mechanism, overlooking that slots are the built-in feature for managing multi-turn context within a topic.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Use topics with slots to collect information across turns.
In Microsoft Copilot Studio, topics with slots are specifically designed to handle multi-turn conversations by collecting and persisting information across user inputs. Slots allow the agent to prompt for missing details and maintain context within a topic, enabling complex, stateful interactions without external dependencies.

Use actions to call external APIs for context.
Why it's wrong here
Actions are for external integration, not conversation management.
- ✓
Use topics with slots to collect information across turns.
Why this is correct
Topics with slots manage multi-turn context.
- ✗
Use global variables to store conversation state.
Why it's wrong here
Variables store data, but slots provide structured conversation flow.
- ✗
