Agent 365 is ideal for IT leaders, enterprise teams, and organizations looking to securely deploy, govern, and scale AI agents across their existing Microsoft infrastructure
About Microsoft Agent 365
Microsoft Agent 365 introduces a unified control plane that allows organizations to deploy, manage, and secure AI agents with the same confidence they apply to user management. It gives enterprises full visibility into all agents, including Entra-verified agents, self-registered agents, and shadow agents running across the environment. Built on Microsoft’s trusted ecosystem, Agent 365 extends familiar tools like Entra, Defender, Purview, Power Apps, and Microsoft 365 to support identity, security, governance, and productivity for agents. With Work IQ, organizations can connect agents directly to their unique company data and workflows, enabling smarter, more context-aware automation. IT admins can access Agent 365 early via Frontier, Microsoft’s early access program, and activate it at the tenant or user level. Designed to scale with modern AI adoption, Agent 365 ensures that enterprise agentic systems remain secure, compliant, and manageable from day one.

AAES Govern
AAES Govern is pre-launch, self-hosted software for enterprise AI agent requests routed through configured credential paths. It checks permissions, required human approvals and spending limits, reserves evaluated amounts before authorization, and records signed decisions for offline integrity checks. An agent's direct credentials or alternate route can bypass enforcement; observation-only integrations cannot block activity. Customer-run evaluation is available through a paid USD 40,000 three-month design partnership covering AAES Govern and the separate AAES Operate product; production rates are unpublished. Managed Govern hosting is planned, not offered. The separately released Apache-2.0 aaesverify CLI checks exported-record integrity against a separately trusted public key; it cannot establish complete capture, input truth, or downstream execution. AAES has no production customer results or independent certification.

Powered by OpenAI's GPT-4, Copilot Chat allows users to create and utilize AI agents for tasks such as automating processes and managing email inboxes. These agents, previously exclusive to the full Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription, can now be accessed through Copilot Chat. Users can develop custom agents using Copilot Studio, with usage priced on a pay-as-you-go basis or through consumption packs. Agent interactions are measured in messages, with costs ranging from 1 cent for simple responses to 30 cents for accessing work data via the Microsoft Graph. This initiative aims to familiarize businesses with AI tools, encouraging adoption of the comprehensive Microsoft 365 Copilot suite, which remains available at $30 per user per month.
