Workflows Agent

An agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot that transforms natural-language intent into working, manageable automations across the Microsoft 365 ecosystem.

Natural language to automation

Describe the outcome. Let the agent build the workflow.

Instead of manually configuring steps and connectors, people describe what they want to accomplish. Workflows generates an automation using supported Microsoft 365 services, then lets them test, monitor, and manage it visually.

Start workflows on a recurrence or in response to events in connected services.

Operate

Test, monitor, and manage

Agentic creation

Conversation and visual structure in one experience

The agent reasons through a request in chat while presenting the generated trigger and actions as a visual workflow. Users can refine timing, inspect service connections, save the result, and test it before relying on the automation.
