Meet your new Copilot 365 assistants: Skills agent, Interpreter agent, Project agent and the facilitator

Making your tasks easier for you: The other day I wrote about the new Skills feature coming to Microsoft 365 in the following weeks. But the Advanced tier os the new skills feature is just one of three out-of-the-box agents already in place or coming the next weeks and months (and many more in the future, I'm sure). This agents are designed to handle "everything" from simple tasks to complex multi-step processes where you choose to implement them. In this rather length post, I’ll try to break down each agent’s capabilities, why they’re useful, and how you can prepare to make the most of them.

  • Documents
The Documents section will allow you not only to start new documents, but to scan paper documents and convert them into digital office documents.  I was particularly impressed with the "scan table" feature, which converts a table to a spreadsheet in excel.

I know I will already be deleting my old Office apps for my mobile devices, and start using this new app.
