AI has made it dramatically easier to generate insights, but getting real work done still means switching tabs, opening apps, and\u00a0re\u2011creating\u00a0context across tools. A marketer drafts a campaign in Copilot, then\u00a0needs\u00a0to jump into a design app to create the asset. A seller summarizes an opportunity, only to open their CRM to log it.\u00a0A manager reviews a request in one window but approves it in a different one.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The insight lives in one place. The action belongs somewhere else.\u00a0Microsoft 365 Copilot<\/a> agents change that. They bring business apps directly into the flow of conversation,\u00a0so intent becomes execution without ever leaving Copilot chat.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Interruptions are a steady drag on\u00a0the flow of work, and the cognitive\u00a0cost\u00a0of re-establishing context after every interruption and with every tool switch can hold businesses back from achieving the productivity gains they are working hard to capture. Moreover, employees want to bring rich content and data from services they use every\u00a0day into their\u00a0work with Copilot.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Apps designed for the way teams actually work<\/p>\n

Microsoft 365 Copilot\u00a0can\u00a0now\u00a0bring your business apps directly into the conversation<\/a>, which closes the gap between AI-powered insight and real, in-app action, allowing you to\u00a0visualize content and\u00a0do real work right from the chat, narrowing this fragmentation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Agents in\u00a0Microsoft 365 Copilot<\/a>,\u00a0connected to\u00a0content-rich\u00a0apps\u00a0like Adobe Express, Figma, Optimizely, or Dynamics 365<\/a>,\u00a0can\u00a0now\u00a0surface\u00a0visually rich, interactive experiences\u00a0right inside\u00a0Copilot, so\u00a0marketing teams can turn briefs into assets, operations teams can update records, and project teams can iterate on documents, all within the conversation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The control stays with you throughout.\u00a0Interact directly with\u00a0the\u00a0app\u2019s in-chat interface or prompt the agent with your directions\u00a0and let it\u00a0perform the task under your supervision. Either way, the\u00a0result is the same: work can move faster within a single conversation, with reduced context-switching and fewer interruptions.\u00a0<\/p>\n
