Microsoft announced a significant expansion of its Copilot Studio platform, introducing multi-agent systems for AI agents to collaborate on complex tasks.
The new features aim to make AI agents more practical for enterprise use, addressing key limitations in business settings.
The multi-agent system enables agents to work together, improving maintainability, solution building, and overall reliability.
Microsoft introduced 'computer use,' enabling agents to interact with desktop applications when APIs are not available.
Custom models from Azure AI Foundry, including the latest from OpenAI GPT-4.1, can now be integrated into Copilot Studio.
New tools like a Visual Studio Code extension and centralized admin tools enhance the development and management of Copilot agents.
In-conversation agent recommendations suggest relevant agents based on user needs, improving user experience through dynamic handoffs.
Microsoft announced integration with WhatsApp and a SharePoint channel to expand the reach of custom agents.
The company emphasizes a dual approach, catering to both experienced developers and business users with limited coding experience.
Future developments may focus on agent discovery and accessibility to further enhance the AI agent ecosystem.
