"A new tool from Microsoft called Agent 365 is designed to help businesses control their growing collection of robotic helpers. Agent 365 is not a platform for making enterprise AI tools; it's a way to manage them, as if they were human employees. Companies using generative AI agents in their digital workplace can use Agent 365 to organize their growing sprawl of bots, keep tabs on how they're performing, and tweak their settings."
""Tools that you use to manage people, devices and applications today, you'd want to extend them to run agents as well in the future," says Charles Lamanna, a president of business and industry for Microsoft's Copilot, its AI chatbot. Lamanna envisions a future where companies have many more agents performing labor than humans. He claims Microsoft internally uses millions of agents."
"Agent 365 is a way to manage all your bots, whether those agents were built with Microsoft's tools or through a third-party platform. Agent 365's core feature is a registry of an organization's active agents all in one place, featuring specific identification numbers for each and details about how they are being used by employees. It's also where you can change the settings for agents and what aspects of a business's software each one has permission to access."
Agent 365 provides businesses with a centralized system to manage generative AI agents across the enterprise rather than a development platform. The service inventories active agents with unique identification numbers, tracks usage and performance, and centralizes configuration and permission settings. Agent 365 supports agents built with Microsoft's tools or third-party platforms and is intended to prevent uncontrolled sprawl and security risks from unchecked automation. Microsoft positions the product to scale alongside large workforces, expecting many agents per employee. The tool is launching through Microsoft's early access program.
