Changes aimed at streamline workflows: As Microsoft continues to evolve its AI-powered productivity suite, three significant updates are rolling out across Microsoft 365 in June and July 2025. These changes are designed to streamline workflows, enhance research capabilities, and bring generative AI closer to users in their daily apps. Here is my summary of the three updates, and what you might want to be aware of. Access SharePoint agents in the Microsoft 365 Copilot app Some time ago, Microsoft introduced SharePoint Agents.

Using Copilot agents in Teams group chats for all

Microsoft making it easier than ever to stay on top of your collaboration in Teams group chats. Coming soon is the capability to add Copilot agents to group chats, giving users a great tool to get on top of things, even if they have been away for parts of the conversation.

Instead of being a Copilot feature like it is for licensed users today, it will be an agent users can add to the conversation. It will come with the regular Copilot enabled for all EntraID users, using Teams on Windows desktop, Mac desktop, and the web (no mention of mobile just yet). 

This feature is mentioned in Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 464988 and should be rolling out quite soon. It will be turned on by default.
