Now available
These features are now generally available.
- Microsoft Agent 365 is the control plane for agents that gives IT one place to observe, govern, and secure every agent across the organization. You can stay in control as agents become part of everyday work.
- Copilot works directly inside your apps to help you create, edit, and refine content from start to finish. It can make changes to your document, spreadsheet, presentation, or email while you work and guide the output in real time—without leaving the app.
- Agents in Microsoft 365 Copilot bring content rich business apps like Adobe Express, Figma, Optimizely, and Dynamics 365 directly into Copilot. You can now view, edit, and act on app content within the conversation. You gain faster task completion with fewer interruptions, as work moves from intent to execution in one place—without switching apps or losing control.
Coming soon
These features are currently in development.
- Work IQ API gives developers access to the intelligence layer behind Microsoft 365 Copilot through agent‑to‑agent (A2A), Model Context Protocol (MCP), and REST interfaces. Developers can build agents and apps grounded in real work context—without raw data plumbing—while inheriting enterprise security, compliance, and governance by default.
- Your Viva Engage communities will now be available in Teams alongside teams, chats and channels. You can connect, share knowledge, and learn from others across the company, all without leaving Teams.

Copilot Cowork: New skills, integrations, and devices
Copilot Cowork brings long‑running, multi‑step work into Microsoft 365 Copilot, moving beyond prompts and responses toward execution that unfolds over time.
