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

on
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.

Teams is introducing meeting expiration to their meeting policies. Which to my understanding will ensure all meetings created by a user will no longer be accessible to anyone. Previously, the meeting policy would only affect new meetings after the policy was implemented, but the new way it will work is to expire any previously created meeting by the affected user. Read more about how this works here.
