Dear learner,
Microsoft shipped five AI tools in about a month: Copilot Cowork, Scout, Agent 365, Microsoft IQ, and a new enterprise plan called E7.
All of them are either AI agents or systems to run and control them.
1. Copilot Cowork (GA, June 16)
Completes entire tasks on your behalf instead of simply helping you with them.
2. Microsoft Scout (Preview, June 2)
Runs in the background, handling coordination like scheduling meetings and following up on stalled decisions.
3. Agent 365 (GA, May 1)
Lets organizations manage, secure, and govern every AI agent in one place.
That naturally raises a few questions:
● If AI agents can do the work, what's left for me?
● Do I need to learn all AI tools to keep up?
● Now which skills actually matter in the agent era?
We answer all of them in our latest blog:
