Microsoft’s new Copilot agents get their own email, calendar - and a place in the org chart
Microsoft has announced a significant evolution for its Copilot agents by giving them unique identities within an organization's directory. These agents can now be assigned their own email addresses, calendar access, and specific permissions, effectively treating them as digital team members. This enables them to perform tasks like scheduling meetings and managing communications autonomously.
MY TAKE
This move from a user-bound assistant to an independent agent is a major architectural shift for enterprise AI. It raises new questions around security, governance, and how we define roles within a software team.
