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.

Viva Engage and a few other Viva updates

The new app is called "Viva Engage", and introduces a better integration experience for the users. Everything about the update is documented in this blogpost at the Techcommunity.

On the topic of Viva, here is an update to Viva Learning.
Viva Learning cards are being introduced to the user's Viva dashboard. With this feature, users can easily discover learning tasks assigned to them and their current status. Dashboard admins can from mid-september add them to the user's Viva connection dashboards following these steps.

Finally, it is getting easier for Viva Learning Admins to manage the organization with the new "Admin tab" in the Teams app. This feature should already be in your tenant or just around the corner. There will be coming more Admin features in tis toolbox as the product evolves.
