"The software maker is launching a new Agent Mode in Excel and Word that can generate complex spreadsheets and documents with just a prompt. A new Office Agent in Copilot chat, powered by Anthropic models, is also launching today that can create PowerPoint presentations and Word documents from a "vibe working" chatbot."
""Today we're bringing vibe working to Microsoft 365 Copilot with Agent Mode in Office apps and Office Agent in Copilot chat," says Sumit Chauhan, corporate vice president of Microsoft's Office Product Group. "In the same way vibe coding has transformed software development, the latest reasoning models in Copilot unlock agentic productivity for Office artifacts.""
"Agent Mode essentially takes a complex task and breaks it down with planning and reasoning that you can follow. It then uses OpenAI's GPT-5 model to break down each step of document creation into an agentic task and execute it. It's like watching an automated macro in real time, showing everything it's doing in the sidebar."
Agent Mode enables creation of complex spreadsheets and documents from a single prompt by decomposing tasks into planning and reasoning steps users can follow. Office Agent in Copilot chat, powered by Anthropic models, can produce PowerPoint presentations and Word documents through a "vibe working" chatbot. Agent Mode extends the Copilot experience in Excel and Word, using OpenAI's GPT-5 to break each step of document creation into agentic tasks and execute them while displaying actions in a sidebar. The feature aims to make complex Excel work accessible to non-experts and deliver board-ready outputs quickly. Microsoft has introduced these capabilities gradually in Excel.
