Feature Highlights & How to try them

Scheduled prompts for agents

What it does: Allows users to schedule recurring prompts to declarative agents like Analyst, Idea Coach, and more.

Try it: In the Copilot app, navigate to your favorite agent, run a prompt (or find one you’ve run before), hover over the prompt text, and select Schedule this prompt. Fill out scheduling details and hit Save.

Note: Not every agent supports scheduled prompts yet; updates will be posted on the M365 Roadmap.

Scheduled prompts for the Web tab

What it does: Allows users to schedule a prompt in the Web tab.

Try it: In the Copilot app, navigate to the Web Tab, run a prompt (or find one you’ve run before), hover over the prompt text, and select Schedule this prompt. Fill out scheduling details and hit Save.

Edit scheduled prompts

What it does: Allows users to update existing schedules without deleting and recreating them.

Try it: Navigate to the Scheduled prompts management pop-up in the Copilot app. Select your preferred scheduled prompt, click Edit schedule, make your changes, and click Update.

Note: Users can currently only update the schedule of the prompt; support for editing email notifications and the prompt text itself is coming soon.

Natural language support for scheduled prompts

What it does: Allows users to create scheduled prompts directly in chat.

Try it: In the Copilot app, navigate to the Work tab and add a time and recurrence for a prompt you’d like to schedule (such as “Help me prepare for my day every Monday at 9 AM”).

Note: Natural language support is currently only enabled in the Work tab in mainline M365 chat. Support for agents and the Web tab is coming soon.

[What you can do to prepare]

• Ensure your organization is enrolled in the Frontier program via Microsoft admin center.
• Ensure that intended users have a Microsoft 365 Copilot license.
• Communicate this change to helpdesk staff.
• Update internal documentation if you detail Copilot features.
