Copilot experience refreshed as Microsoft rolls out new Teams AI agents
New Teams AI agents summarise conversations, assign tasks, and streamline meetings for Microsoft 365 Copilot users.
Microsoft has announced new AI agents for Microsoft Teams, designed to summarise conversations, automate workflows, and enhance collaboration. The tools are available in public preview for organisations with Microsoft 365 Copilot licences.
Each Teams channel can now have a dedicated channel agent that summarises discussions, assigns tasks in Planner, and joins meetings when needed. A facilitator agent can automate agendas, take notes, assign tasks, and manage time tracking during meetings.
Microsoft has also introduced a project manager agent integrated with Microsoft Planner, capable of generating plans, creating tasks, and monitoring progress. Viva Engage communities gain an AI agent that facilitates knowledge sharing and drafts responses on their behalf.
A knowledge agent in SharePoint will help automate site clean-up and streamline content management. Microsoft says all agents are powered by Microsoft Graph, providing context-aware assistance while maintaining enterprise-grade security and compliance controls.
Alongside the agents, a refreshed Copilot experience will be rolled out on October 1. The update aims to make Copilot easier to use across chats, channels, and meetings, creating a seamless experience for employees working in Teams.
