Microsoft’s Copilot AI Bots Automate tasks and function as Virtual Employees

Microsoft has announced new Copilot agents for AI-driven developers and businesses. These AI agents, which will be made available by Copilot Studios, are similar to chatbots in that they can intelligently carry out difficult tasks on their own. 

The new Copilot bots can be configured to function as virtual workers and can be employed to carry out activities autonomously. Unlike Microsoft’s Copilot, these AI bots won’t be waiting around for inquiries.

The customized Copilot agents will be able to perform tasks that employees often have to perform manually, such as keeping an eye on email inboxes and automating several tasks or data entry.

Who will be able to access Microsoft’s Copilot Agents?

A small set of early access testers have been given a sneak peek at this new feature by Microsoft before it is made public later this year inside Copilot Studio.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella stated that companies would be able to construct a Copilot agent that can manage IT help desk service chores, employee onboarding, and much more during his keynote address at the company’s Build 2024 annual conference event.

Microsoft wrote: “Copilots are evolving from copilots that work with you, to copilots that work for you” in a blog post.

How will Microsoft’s Copilot Agents work?

These Copilot agents will interact with a company’s data when specific circumstances occur. Microsoft also demonstrated a possible bespoke Copilot for employee onboarding at Build 2024.

The business remarked, “Pretend you are a recent hire. When you arrive, a proactive copilot welcomes you, looks through HR data, and responds to your inquiries. They also set up your first week of meetings, offer you training and deadlines, and introduce you to your buddy. With the burden of administrative work gone, HR and the staff can now focus on their daily responsibilities.”

Additionally, users can program Microsoft’s Copilot agents to identify specific situations that might need human inspection. This feature can be helpful for more intricate data and queries.

This implies that the set parameters, as well as the commands and actions related to these automated duties, will be followed by the customized Copilot.

Businesses may now more easily integrate their data into their bespoke copilot thanks to Microsoft’s data connections to public websites, SharePoint, OneDrive, and other platforms.
