Copilot Studio enables more customers and users to build powerful autonomous agents for a multitude of use cases. We\u2019re also introducing major updates to Power Platform to enhance <strong>developer capabilities<\/strong>. Finally, we\u2019re sharing <strong>streamlined management of security and governance<\/strong> for Microsoft Power Platform, including your agents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the past year, we\u2019ve witnessed how reimagining business processes with Copilot and agents has revolutionized <strong><em>what<\/em> we build<\/strong>, including intelligent apps and AI agents. Additionally, enhancing efficiency through automation and AI has fundamentally changed <strong><em>how<\/em> we build<\/strong>, unlocking even more rapid low-code development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"supercharge-business-processes-with-agents-change-what-we-build\">Supercharge business processes with agents: Change <em>what<\/em> we build<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For years, Microsoft Power Platform\u2019s AI-infused low-code capabilities have empowered organizations to create and deploy applications with ease. Now, with <strong>Copilot as the new UI for AI<\/strong>, any organization can build powerful agents that augment their workforce and execute business processes right inside Copilot Studio<em>\u2014<\/em>without any coding. Autonomous agents can work independently, detecting events like an email arriving, and use generative AI to trigger a series of actions. By automating complex tasks, these agents can orchestrate workflows and work unprompted alongside or on behalf of users or entire teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"autonomous-agents-now-in-preview\">Autonomous agents now in preview<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since its debut at Microsoft Ignite 2023, <a href=\"\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/microsoft-copilot\/microsoft-copilot-studio\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Copilot Studio<\/strong><\/a> has transformed how businesses apply AI to common conversational workflows.

Agents built in Copilot Studio can now operate independently, dynamically planning and learning from processes, adapting to changing conditions, and making decisions without the need for constant human intervention. These autonomous agents can be triggered by data changes, events, and other background tasks\u2014and not just through chat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019re also announcing <strong>agent library<\/strong> (preview) so users can get a head start by choosing agents based on commonly used scenarios and <strong>autonomous triggers<\/strong> (preview), allowing agents to automatically respond to signals across your business and initiate tasks.
