Learn what Copilot Agents are, explore the agents you already have, and create your own to save time and work smarter.

What is an Agent?

An AI agent made in Microsoft Copilot is a specialized, custom virtual assistant designed to handle specific tasks or processes for you.

Think of it as a “smart app” or a “virtual employee” that you create, train, and set to work, which can do more than just answer questions—it can take action.
