Agents in Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat in Outlook [MC1020219]

Message ID: MC1020219

Copilot Agents are coming soon to both the Web and Work tabs of Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat in Outlook for the Web and the new Outlook for Windows.

This change is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID: 481558

[When this will happen:]

General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out late March 2025 and expect to complete by early April 2025.

[How this will affect your organization:]

Agents extend the capability of Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat in exciting ways, letting users customize their Copilot experience.

From Copilot in Outlook, the right-side panel will show agents that the user has previously installed or that their admin has previously deployed. The panel will also provide entry points to Get Copilot agents in the app store and to Create an agent.

[What you need to do to prepare:]

Agents in Outlook will respect the same admin controls as agents in Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat.

Admins can manage agents as apps in the Integrated apps section of the Microsoft 365 admin center. Admins can also enable or disable Copilot extensibility for their org, and control who can access agents within their organization.

This upcoming update to Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat in Outlook is set to stir things up in the best possible way! With the introduction of Copilot Agents, both admins and users can expect a refreshing boost to their productivity and customization options.

For users, the ability to customize their Copilot experience is like adding sprinkles to an already delicious cupcake! With the right-side panel showcasing previously installed agents, users will have easy access to their favorite tools. And let’s not forget the new entry points to explore the app store and create agents—it’s like having a personal assistant that helps you find the perfect tools to make your work life easier.

On the admin side, the update is equally exciting. Admins will have the power to manage these agents just like any other app in the Integrated Apps section of the Microsoft 365 admin center. This means they can enable or disable Copilot extensibility and control who gets access to these nifty agents. It’s a win-win situation that allows for better oversight while still empowering users to make the most out of their tools.

As for the impact of these changes, it’s hard to overstate how significant they will be. While the rollout is set to begin in late March 2025, the potential for increased efficiency and user satisfaction is already palpable. Imagine a workplace where everyone is equipped with personalized tools that truly meet their needs—sounds pretty fantastic, right?
