“Work is fundamentally a team sport, yet until now AI has largely been a personal assistant,” said Nicole Herskowitz, Corporate Vice President of Microsoft 365 and Copilot. “Today, we’re introducing new collaboration-focused agents for Microsoft 365 Copilot users giving every team, project, meeting, and community an AI teammate, adding context-aware AI to support the unique needs of every collaboration scenario.”
