The revolution in automation is coming. What are Microsoft AI agents?
Starting in November, Microsoft will offer its customers the ability to create autonomous AIs that can operate with minimal need for human intervention. The move is part of the company's broader plan to take advantage of the growing interest in AI and its deployment in business. Similar technologies are already being explored by other tech firms like Salesforce, which is looking to offer tools to make it easier to monetise its huge investment in AI.
Microsoft $MSFT is trying to respond to the demands of modern business with autonomous agents, where the pressure for efficient task management and communication is growing. These autonomous agents, which the company envisions as "applications for an AI-driven world," will be able to handle client queries, identify business opportunities or manage inventory. Unlike traditional chatbots, these systems are intended to operate with minimal human intervention, greatly increasing their utility and flexibility.
