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. 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.

Copilot for the enterprise to interpret images

Users can also take pictures with their mobile cameras or upload images directly from their devices.

With these enhancements, Microsoft 365 Copilot will now understand non-animated images and support major image types. Copilot will interpret the images to the best of its ability, though the quality and content of the image may affect responses. This feature will be available to all endpoints without requiring tenant-level configuration. Existing controls to limit Copilot's availability will still be honored.

Hopefully, this should be in general release by the end of March.
