Microsoft has announced the wider testing of its new Autopilot feature at the Microsoft Build event this week. The company says that Autopilots are a new category of agents that can work autonomously on a user's behalf, and that each Autopilot is given its own identity.
The announcement comes as part of Microsoft's ongoing push to improve collaboration tools in its suite of productivity software, including Microsoft 365. While the specifics of how Autopilots will be used are not yet clear, Microsoft has stated that they can take on a wide range of tasks, from simple administrative duties to complex project management.
Details about the capabilities and limitations of Microsoft's new Autopilot feature have yet to be revealed. However, the announcement suggests that the technology may be able to streamline workflows and improve user productivity in various contexts.
