Microsoft is turning Copilot chat into more than just an AI inbox—it’s becoming the place where you actually do work with your everyday apps, not just talk about it. A new update to agents in Microsoft 365 Copilot brings tools like Adobe Express, Figma, Box, Coursera, Miro, monday.com, Optimizely, Wix, and Dynamics 365 directly into the flow of conversation so teams can move from insight to execution without constant tab‑switching.

Copilot agents turn intent into action

The latest Microsoft 365 blog post tackles a familiar pain point: AI is great at generating insights, but real work still means bouncing between apps, re‑creating context, and losing focus every time you change tabs. The new agents experience is designed to close that gap by bringing your business apps directly into Copilot chat so the same conversation that surfaces an idea can carry it all the way through to execution.

Instead of asking Copilot to summarize an opportunity and then manually opening your CRM, or drafting a campaign and then hopping into a separate design tool, agents now let those apps show up as interactive surfaces inside the chat itself. Microsoft frames this as a way to cut down on “cognitive cost” from constant context‑switching, and to let employees bring the rich data and content from the services they use every day straight into their Copilot workflows.


Apps designed for the way teams actually work

With this update, Microsoft 365 Copilot can now pull business apps directly into the conversation, turning chat into a sort of live workspace where content is visualized and edited without leaving the thread. Agents in Microsoft 365 Copilot connect to content‑rich services such as Adobe Express, Figma, Optimizely, and Dynamics 365, and surface visually rich, interactive experiences right inside Copilot so teams can act in context.

Microsoft highlights a few common patterns:

  • Marketing teams can turn a brief into a real asset, seeing and editing design content inline instead of jumping out to a separate browser tab.

  • Operations or sales teams can update records in systems like Dynamics 365 directly from the conversation, logging opportunities or changing statuses without leaving Copilot.

  • Project teams can iterate on documents, boards, and diagrams within chat, keeping discussions and artifacts together in one place.

Throughout, control stays with the user: you can interact with each app’s in‑chat UI directly, or simply prompt the agent with instructions and let it perform the task under your supervision. Either way, work moves forward inside a single conversation instead of being scattered across windows and tools.


What’s available today in the Microsoft 365 Agent Store

Microsoft is using the new Microsoft 365 Agent Store as the hub for these experiences, where organizations can discover, enable, and manage agents from both Microsoft and partners. The blog calls out a snapshot of apps that already support in‑chat experiences:

  • Adobe Express (and soon Acrobat) – Adobe embeds creative and document workflows from Adobe Express directly into Copilot, allowing users to generate, review, and refine assets without context switching. You can preview Adobe assets in an interactive widget and apply layered edits—refining text, adjusting colors, adding animations—right inside Copilot, even when working on Word, PowerPoint, and Excel files.

  • monday.com – The monday.com app in Copilot surfaces boards and items as interactive components in chat, giving teams at‑a‑glance project status and letting them act in context with AI support.Agents in Microsoft 365 Copilot Bring Adobe, Figma, Box, and More Magically Right Into Chat

  • Optimizely – Optimizely’s Copilot integration lets users create and manage campaigns, generate and edit images, analyze experiment results, and run AI agents while staying within the chat.

  • Wix Harmony and Base44 – These agents allow users to build websites or apps in natural language, directly from a Copilot conversation, turning prompts into live experiences without swapping tools.

Together, this lineup shows that Microsoft is thinking beyond simple chat plugins and toward full, in‑context work surfaces that live alongside AI‑powered reasoning.

Getting started with agents in Microsoft 365 Copilot

Microsoft encourages organizations to start by exploring the Microsoft 365 Agent Store, where they can add approved apps directly into Copilot so employees can work with them in chat. For tools that don’t yet have pre‑built integrations, the MCP Apps and Apps SDK give development teams a way to build custom agents that connect Copilot to internal systems and unique workflows.

IT administrators keep control through the Microsoft 365 admin center, which provides the visibility and policy levers needed to deploy, govern, and scale these agents securely. That means organizations can experiment with new AI‑driven app experiences while maintaining compliance and security boundaries.

Underneath the product news is a clear strategic message: AI shouldn’t just tell you what to do next; it should help you actually do it. With agents in Microsoft 365 Copilot, the place where work begins—the chat window—can increasingly become the place where work gets finished, closing the gap between inspiration and outcome.
