Microsoft has revealed plans for a new class of AI agents, potentially called 'Agent 365' or 'A365', designed to operate as independent users within a corporate workforce. According to product roadmap documents, these agents will have their own identities and access to enterprise systems, allowing them to perform tasks autonomously. The capabilities teased for these AI agents include attending meetings, editing documents, and communicating via email and chat, essentially collaborating with human employees and other agents. Microsoft plans to sell these "agentic users" through a new 'M365 Agent Store', discoverable within its Teams collaboration software. While a formal announcement is anticipated at Microsoft's upcoming Ignite conference, the teaser points to a targeted release of this new offering. This development represents a significant step in Microsoft's strategy to integrate more advanced and autonomous AI directly into enterprise workflows, moving beyond assistant roles to independent actors.
