Microsoft brings AI agents to Word, Excel, and PowerPoint

Technology

Microsoft just dropped new AI agents for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint as part of its 365 Copilot suite.
Now you can create docs, spreadsheets, or slides just by chatting with the app—no more wrestling with layouts or endless formatting.
Right now it's only for commercial users in early access, but a wider rollout is on the way.

What these AI agents actually do

These smart assistants handle research, layout design, and even multi-step workflows—all powered by advanced reasoning models using your data and the web.
Copilot Chat will suggest which agent fits your task best for a smoother experience.

Next-level content creation (including videos!)

A standout: integration with OpenAI's Sora 2 means you can turn text prompts into videos right inside Microsoft 365.
For now, you'll need a Copilot license to try all this out—but if you're deep into Microsoft's ecosystem, these tools could seriously boost your productivity.
