Introducing SharePoint Agents

SharePoint Agents are a new solution currently rolling out.  SharePoint Agents are scoped agents aligned to a site and all the documents and content within it.  On every SharePoint site, you will see a copilot icon with a default agent that has been created.  Now you can leverage agents on targeted content.

It is also very simple to create additional agents that are scope to a site, library, folder or even relevant files.  Creation of agents is integrated in with the SharePoint Ribbons and menu system.

Once a SharePoint agent is created, these agents can be shared via email, Microsoft Teams or referenced through Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat.  

SharePoint Agents are licensed through the Microsoft 365 Copilot License without any additional charges.  Users who do not have a Microsoft 365 Copilot License can still create and use SharePoint agents if they have Copilot Studio capacity packs or pay-as-you-go meters enabled.
