Microsoft Agent 365 lets businesses manage AI agents like they do people

"Agent 365 will help businesses deploy and organize AI agents securely, to ensure these new AI coworkers don't do anything unexpected. Agent 365 is effectively a framework that has dashboards to show how AI agents are operating, with telemetry and alerts. It allows businesses to register AI agents with Microsoft Entra registry, limit what they have access to, ensure they can integrate with Microsoft 365 apps, and protect against external and internal security threats."

"Microsoft is racing towards building an AI "agent factory" that lets businesses build and manage their own AI agents. While Microsoft was founded on the idea of being a software factory, it's quickly being transformed into an era where AI agents will increasingly take on more human work. "Agents are already changing how people work, and IDC predicts there will be 1.3 billion agents by 2028," says Jared Spataro, chief marketing officer of AI at work at Microsoft."

"It will also embrace a broader ecosystem of AI agents from companies like Adobe, Nvidia, ServiceNow, Workday, and more. The dashboards inside Agent 365 will let admins see connections between agents, people, and data, as well as monitor how AI agents are behaving in real time. Microsoft is making Agent 365 available through Frontier, the company's early-access program for AI features. This early rollout is designed for IT admins to test scenarios for adopting and managing AI agents."

Agent 365 provides a control plane for enterprises to deploy, organize, and govern AI agents across business environments. The platform supplies dashboards, telemetry, and alerts so administrators can monitor agent behavior and interactions with people and data in real time. Agent 365 integrates with Microsoft Entra registry to register agents, manage access, and enforce security policies while enabling connectivity with Microsoft 365 applications. The system supports a wider ecosystem of vendor agents from companies such as Adobe, Nvidia, ServiceNow, and Workday. The offering is available initially through Frontier for IT teams to test adoption and management scenarios.
