Microsoft is to provide AI agents to business users as part of its Copilot tool (PA)Microsoft AI tools for businesses that allow users to create “agents” to carry out specific work tasks are set to begin rolling out publicly next month, the company has said. AI agents are smaller, more focused versions of AI assistants which can be programmed to carry out a single task or have a specific area of focus, which can operate autonomously. Jared Spataro, chief marketing officer for AI at work at Microsoft, said: “Copilot is your AI assistant— it works for you — and Copilot Studio enables you to easily create, manage and connect agents to Copilot. “New autonomous agents enable customers to move from legacy lines of business applications to AI-first business process,” Mr Spataro said. “These new agents are designed to help every sales, service, finance and supply chain team drive business value — and are just the start.
