The future of work will be shaped by Frontier Firms—organizations that are human-led and agent-operated. These companies are reshaping how work gets done, empowering every employee with an AI assistant, amplifying impact with human-agent teamwork, and reinventing business processes with agents. Today at Microsoft Ignite, we introduced new capabilities in Microsoft 365 Copilot to help every customer become Frontier.
Key announcements include:
- Work IQ—the intelligence layer that enables Microsoft 365 Copilot to know you, your job, and your company inside and out.
- Word, Excel, and PowerPoint agents in chat—alongside Agent Mode in the Office apps—enable you to work iteratively with Copilot to deliver high-quality Office documents, spreadsheets, and presentations.
- Agent 365—the control plane for agents—enables you to manage and secure agents with confidence.
We’re also excited to announce the Frontier Firm AI Initiative with the Digital Data Design…
