Ready to reorganize work? With Copilot Agents, AI support becomes real execution

Microsoft Copilot Agents are specialized AI assistants for well-defined tasks, departments, and business processes. They can pull information from company sources, summarize content, analyze correlations, and, if intended, perform actions such as sending a message, creating a ticket, or updating a record.

Organizations can deploy readily available agents from the Microsoft Agent Store or develop their own agents tailored to their processes, policies, and data. Simple, knowledge-based agents can be created directly for Microsoft 365 Copilot. For more complex scenarios, Microsoft Copilot Studio provides a low-code graphical environment that combines knowledge, tools, workflows, and business logic.

The range of applications ranges from internal knowledge agents to HR, finance, sales or service agents to autonomous process agents. They can react to defined events, evaluate information and independently initiate process steps within specified instructions and guardrails.

By connecting SharePoint, Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365, Dataverse, and other enterprise systems, agents access the context relevant to their task. Via pre-built or individual connectors and APIs, they can not only provide answers, but also perform work in the connected systems.

Your benefits with Microsoft Copilot Agents

Making company knowledge usable in a targeted manner

Copilot Agents don’t just provide information through a general search. They are configured for a specific subject area or a clearly defined process and can use relevant content from SharePoint, Microsoft 365 and connected business systems.

From response to task executed

Agents can go beyond pure text generation. With the help of tools, connectors and workflows, they can create tickets, update records, forward information or start downstream processes.

Automate processes flexibly

Traditional workflows are reliable, but they quickly reach their limits when it comes to unstructured information and unexpected situations. Agents complement these processes with contextual understanding and flexible decision logic, while workflows ensure the controlled execution of defined process steps.

Faster from use case to pilot project

Copilot Studio allows you to create agents via natural language and a low-code graphical interface. This enables business departments, IT and development departments to jointly design, test and gradually expand solutions.

Microsoft Copilot Agents features – from specialized wizards to process automation

Microsoft offers different ways to deploy and develop agents. Which architecture is suitable depends on the user group, the data required, the actions to be performed, the desired channels and the security requirements.
