Each episode provides insights and perspectives on the AI revolution, exploring the technologies, companies, and leaders transforming business and reshaping the future.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In today\u2019s Cloud Wars AI Minute, I explain how Microsoft\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/cloudwars.com\/cloud-wars-minute\/how-to-select-the-right-ai-agent-for-every-business-task\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/cloudwars.com\/cloud-wars-minute\/how-to-select-the-right-ai-agent-for-every-business-task\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">AI agent<\/a> momentum could transform business applications at scale.<\/p>\n<p>Highlights <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">00:00 \u2014 So we\u2019re now hearing, according to Microsoft, that it has 40 million agents deployed now in the Microsoft ecosystem. Now compare that to the 30 million seats that it actually has sold for the M365 Copilot, and that really starts to show us that AI agent creation and things of this nature are starting to take off when we\u2019re starting to see more than one-to-one ratios here.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">00:33 \u2014 So this is a really big situation for Microsoft. It\u2019s actually a really good signal that custom agents and agents that are being built are starting to get more value off the backside. Now we can\u2019t necessarily completely get to this level because what you\u2019ll see is a lot of these agents are probably really simple right now.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"516\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1780580052_557_Speciality-Summit-NA-Nashville-2026-1024x516.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-80119\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.9860751939526557;width:311px;height:auto\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-very-light-gray-background-color has-background wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.summitna.com\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.summitna.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Community Summit North America<\/a> is the largest independent innovation, education, and training event for Microsoft business applications delivered by Expert Users, Microsoft Leaders, MVPs, and Partners. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.summitna.com\/2026-summit-registration\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.summitna.com\/2026-summit-registration\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Register now<\/a> to attend Community Summit in Nashville, TN from October 11-15. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">00:54 \u2014 But with some of the new applications coming out and the focus that Microsoft also came out and announced \u2014 that they are looking at going through and producing a Super App Copilot \u2014 and this was something that <a href=\"https:\/\/cloudwars.com\/innovation-leadership\/satya-nadellas-reverse-information-paradox-could-change-how-enterprises-think-about-ai\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/cloudwars.com\/innovation-leadership\/satya-nadellas-reverse-information-paradox-could-change-how-enterprises-think-about-ai\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Satya Nadella<\/a> just talked about in the news just last week.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">01:13 \u2014 So when we think about this and we start thinking about how is it that Microsoft\u2019s going to start combining all of its different Copilot assets or its AI agent assets, it really opens up a door where we might start seeing a much bigger multiplier effect happening on the number of agents created.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">01:32 \u2014 Due to the fact that they\u2019re going to make it not so confusing to be able to determine where to get started and be able to help you get this all down. So this is really exciting news, and it\u2019s really a good thing for why you should start looking and understanding these agents because they\u2019re really starting to take off as business applications themselves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Welcome to the Cloud Wars AI Minute \u2014 your AI news and commentary show.
