"Microsoft has made OneDrive agents generally available, allowing users to query multiple documents simultaneously through Copilot instead of just one at a time. Users can select up to 20 files and create an agent, saved as a .agent file in OneDrive. Rather than teasing information out of individual documents, Microsoft says users can make cross-document queries, including "What decisions have we made so far?" and "What risks keep coming up?" The agent then generates a response based on the documents' content."
"Agents can be searched for and shared, although collaborators will need access to the source documents. Microsoft said: "The agent can provide complete, grounded responses keeping everyone aligned without extra handoffs." However, the claim that getting started "requires no special admin setup," combined with the lack of detail about what the agents do behind the scenes or where user data ends up, is likely to worry administrators."
OneDrive agents are generally available and let users query multiple documents simultaneously through Copilot instead of one at a time. Users can select up to 20 files and create an agent saved as a .agent file in OneDrive. Agents synthesize content across selected documents to generate cross-document responses and can be searched for and shared, although collaborators must have access to the source files. Microsoft states the agent can provide complete, grounded responses and says no special admin setup is required. The absence of detail about data handling and processing raises privacy and administrative concerns, and use remains optional.
