""When we first shipped Copilot, foundation models were not powerful enough to use Copilot to command the applications. This meant Copilot was a passive partner in documents: it could answer questions but missed the mark when it was asked to take action on the canvas directly.""
""Over the past year, models have made meaningful leaps in instruction following, reasoning, and overall quality, and are now better at handling multi-step edits reliably without losing your intent.""
""You'll be able to watch the Copilot AI agent work in real time, thanks to a sidebar that shows every step Copilot is taking on a document.""
""Agent Mode in PowerPoint can also update existing decks with fresh information and keep the template styling that businesses use.""
Microsoft is launching Agent Mode in Office applications, enhancing the Copilot experience. This mode allows for better command following and document editing. Sumit Chauhan notes that earlier models lacked the capability to act directly on documents. The new Agent Mode improves instruction following and reasoning, enabling reliable multi-step edits. Users can observe Copilot's actions in real time through a sidebar. The features are available to Microsoft 365 Copilot, Premium, Personal, and Family subscribers.
