New AI-Agents in Microsoft 365: Work More Efficiently with Copilot

1. SharePoint Agents: Always the Right Information At Your Fingertips 📄🔍

Do you find it difficult to quickly find the right information in SharePoint? The new SharePoint Agent will help you do just that!

✅ Instant access to knowledge – Every SharePoint site now has a built-in agent that retrieves relevant information in an instant.
✅ Hassle-free personalization – Easily create your own agent that searches specific files, folders or sites. No hassle with complicated searches!
✅ Improve collaboration – Easily share the agent with colleagues via email or Microsoft Teams and collaborate as if the agent were a team member.

🔹 Practical example: You’re working on a project and need quick access to an important document. Instead of manually searching through SharePoint, you ask the SharePoint Agent and within seconds you have the right file! ⚡

 

2. Facilitator Agent: Smarter Meetings in Microsoft Teams 🗓️💡

Meetings are essential, but taking notes and summarizing often takes a lot of time. The Facilitator Agent takes on this task!

🎯 Automatic notes – During meetings, the agent takes real-time notes that are instantly editable by participants.
🎯 Better focus – No more distractions from taking notes, allowing you to actively participate and not miss important points.
🎯 Helpful summaries – At the end of the meeting, you get a summary of actions and decisions, so everyone knows what the next steps are.

🔹 Practical example: During a project meeting, the Facilitator Agent automatically takes notes and summarizes them in a clear action point list. No more discussion about who was supposed to do what! 🙌

 

 

3. Copilot Studio: Customized AI for Your Workflows 🎨⚙️

Want even more automation and customization? Copilot Studio allows you to customize AI agents and streamline workflows.

🚀 Automate tasks – Link data sources, set triggers and let the agent perform repetitive tasks for you.
🚀 Stays up-to-date – The agent evolves with your projects and always stays current with the latest information.
🚀 No technical knowledge required – Anyone can customize agents without programming knowledge!

🔹 Practical example: HR teams can create an agent that automatically answers frequently asked questions about leave and policies. This saves time and increases efficiency! 🏆
