During Microsoft Ignite 2025, Microsoft announced new capabilities for in the Microsoft 365 Copilot to help every customer become a Frontier Firm — organizations that are human-led and agent-operated.
Key highlights include:
- Microsoft 365 Copilot with Agent Mode in Office apps: to create first-class Office documents, either through Copilot chat or within the apps. In Excel's Agent Mode, users can choose reasoning models from Anthropic and OpenAI. Agent Mode in Word is generally available, and Agent Mode in PowerPoint is available through the Frontier program. Additionally, new Word, Excel, and PowerPoint agents enable creating high-quality documents, spreadsheets, and presentations in Copilot chat.
- Sora 2 brings the next generation of AI video creation to the workplace. Using Create, users can produce, edit, and share short videos for marketing or social content. Available through the Frontier program.
- Edge for Business with the Copilot Mode , the world's first secure enterprise AI browser. Multi-step workflows are enabled with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license — with multi-tab reasoning coming soon through the Frontier program.
- Windows in the AI era: Ask Copilot is available directly in the Windows taskbar, providing instant access to Microsoft 365 Copilot, advanced search, and voice or text agent triggering. The taskbar makes it easy to locate applications, files, and settings, as well as manage agents like Researcher, and will soon receive more third-party integrations.
- Enhanced security: Twelve new agents integrated into the workflow of Microsoft Defender, Entra, Intune, and Purview products have been launched. Microsoft Security Copilot will be included for all Microsoft 365 E5 customers, with deployment already underway and expansion planned over the coming months.
