Microsoft Launches Agent Store in Microsoft 365 Copilot to Unlock the Power of AI-Powered Assistants

As businesses continue to adopt AI to transform how work gets done, Microsoft is introducing a major enhancement to its Microsoft 365 Copilot ecosystem: the Agent Store. This curated, centralized marketplace offers a new way for users and developers to harness the capabilities of AI-powered agents—intelligent assistants designed to automate specific tasks, optimize workflows, and drive efficiency across the workplace.

Whether you’re an enterprise user looking to simplify daily operations or a developer aiming to reach millions within Microsoft 365, the Agent Store is a gateway to discovering and deploying cutting-edge AI solutions tailored to business needs.

What Is the Agent Store?

The Agent Store is a seamless, in-product experience within Microsoft 365 Copilot that allows users to explore, install, and trial a wide range of agents. These agents—developed by Microsoft, trusted partners, and customers—are designed to address real business challenges across industries and roles.

Key capabilities include:

• Access to a broad catalog of agents built by Microsoft, partners, and the Microsoft 365 user community
• Personalized discovery recommendations based on user profiles and work context
• Smooth integration across Microsoft 365 environments including Teams and m365copilot.com

Why Agents, and Why Now?

Microsoft 365 Copilot acts as the front-end interface for AI, grounded in each user’s unique work content. Agents, on the other hand, are custom-built assistants that can automate anything from simple knowledge tasks to complex, multi-step processes.

By launching the Agent Store, Microsoft is making it easier than ever to:

• Discover and deploy AI agents that align with specific business needs
• Share, customize, and manage agents across teams and departments
• Build and publish agents using both low-code and pro-code tools

• Curated collections of Microsoft-built and partner-developed agents
• Detailed agent pages outlining features and use cases
• Intelligent search with zero-query suggestions
• Merchandising options to highlight top-performing agents
• Easy sharing via URLs to boost adoption and collaboration

For Developers and Partners

The Agent Store also serves as a powerful distribution and engagement platform for developers and solution partners. Whether building with Microsoft Copilot Studio or leveraging the Microsoft 365 Agents Toolkit, the Agent Store supports multiple development paths, allowing creators to design agents in the way that best fits their technical stack.

Benefits for developers include:

• Exposure to Microsoft 365 Copilot users across Teams, Outlook, and other 365 hubs
