Important
- You need to be part of the Frontier preview program to get early access to Microsoft Agent 365. Frontier connects you directly with Microsoft’s latest AI innovations. Get hands-on with breakthrough features, share your insights with product teams, and help shape the future of AI. Frontier previews are subject to the existing preview terms of your customer agreements. As these features are still in development, their availability and capabilities may change over time.
- This capability is rolling out in phases and the rollout is expected to complete by end of December.
You discover approved agent templates in your Microsoft 365 tenant. Agent templates are preconfigured templates for AI-powered Agent 365 agents in Microsoft 365. These templates define the agent’s capabilities, identity, and compliance settings. Users can add and configure, also known as onboard agents after admin approval to automate tasks and enhance team productivity.
Prerequisites
- You need admin approval for your request in the Microsoft 365 admin center before creating an agent.
- You need a "Microsoft Agent 365 Frontier" license assigned by the tenant admins in the Microsoft 365 admin center. This license is required to hire and interact with agents.
Discover agent templates
Agent templates are available in the Microsoft 365 Copilot Store under Agents for your team or in the Apps area in Microsoft Teams. All users in the tenant can find and view agent templates.
Users can select an agent template from the Agents for your team category in Teams and the Microsoft 365 Agent store.
When you select a template, the detail pane shows:
- Description and skills
- Developer information
- Required licenses and policies
Create an agent
To create an agent, follow these steps:
Select Request on the agent template details page.
Admin approves the request in the Microsoft 365 admin center, activates the template, and assigns licenses and policies. For more information, go to Manage Microsoft Agent 365 agents in the Microsoft 365 admin center.
After activation, select Create on the template page.
Configure the agent:
- Agent icon: The icon that appears for the agent.
- Name (configurable): The name of the agent. Don't use spaces or special characters in the agent name.
- Agent description: The description for the agent.
Select Save to finish.
Onboard an agent
After you create an agent, the AI agent appears in your organization chart under the creator's supervision. You can interact with the AI agent using Teams chat, channels, and meetings.
Configure more settings in the agent card in Teams or Copilot chat.
Pause or delete agents in Teams or Copilot chat. Tenant admins can also manage agents in the Microsoft 365 admin center.
Resources associated with an agent remain for 30 days after deletion.
