Apps, agents, and Copilot

Design your enterprise for the agentic era

Move beyond task‑level automation. Bring apps, agents, and Copilot together so people can focus on outcomes, not steps.
Overview

Move from systems of record to systems of action

  • The rise of AI is changing the speed of work and the tools we use. It’s reshaping how work gets done at a fundamental level, transforming how decisions are made, how processes are executed, and how to operate at scale. Redesign how work gets done, so you can move faster, scale more efficiently, and adapt more quickly.

  • Intelligent systems completely transform the way work gets done. Using agents, your employees define outcomes instead of navigating tools, and agents handle steps across systems. They set direction, validate outcomes, resolve exceptions, and improve how work performs over time. Instead of handling every task, they guide and oversee the work as it happens at scale. This shift changes how work is executed, owned, and improved across your organization.

  • Enterprise applications are evolving from passive tools into systems that execute work. Modern solutions bring together apps, agents, and Copilot to run processes end to end. As applications become more intelligent, they change how your employees work.

  • As you embed agents into workflows and expand app development across the business, governance becomes essential. Without clear guardrails, visibility, and control, intelligent systems remain stuck as pilots and never reach enterprise execution. The most advanced AI systems in the world are only valuable if leaders trust them to operate at scale.

Businesses are innovating with apps, agents, and AI

How it works

Empower every employee with intelligent and connected experiences.

Bring business logic to life with apps

In the agentic enterprise, apps provide:
  • The structured environment where work happens.
  • The tools for human oversight over agent actions.
  • A clear path for people to step in for important decisions.
  • Simple role and task-optimized user experiences.

Move work forward with agents

When creating systems of action, agents deliver:
  • The reasoning, decision-making, and execution layer for systems.
  • Support for rapidly changing dynamic and unpredictable processes.

Give each employee an assistant with Copilot

Employees use Copilot as an interface that:
  • Supports them in Microsoft 365 apps and custom business applications.
  • Provides assistance without switching tools.
  • Creates shared context across work streams.
  • Scales across teams and environments.
  • Brings app and agent actions together.
