"The new E7 bundle under consideration includes everything in the E5 bundle, plus AI features such as Microsoft Copilot and the company's new AI agent hub, Agent 365. Microsoft is looking into per-seat and consumption-based pricing for E7, but could charge up to $99 per user per month."
"Microsoft's AI-packed E7 bundle comes as competitors like Google, Salesforce, and nearly every major software-as-a-service company rush to embed AI tools and autonomous agents into their products. Software stocks have taken a significant hit this year as investors worry that generative AI tools will upend traditional software products."
Microsoft is exploring the release of E7, a long-anticipated premium enterprise productivity software bundle that would expand upon its existing Microsoft 365 offerings. The E7 bundle would include all features from the current E5 tier plus advanced AI capabilities, specifically Microsoft Copilot and Agent 365, the company's new AI agent hub. Pricing under consideration ranges up to $99 per user per month, compared to E5's current $57 monthly rate and Copilot's $21 add-on cost. This initiative reflects Microsoft's response to competitive pressure from Google, Salesforce, and other major software companies integrating AI and autonomous agents into their products. The company previously attempted to launch an AI software bundle in 2024 but paused those plans.
