Listen to Deep Dive Podcast HERE

At this moment in time, Microsoft has the normal person confused!

They are consistently using the term AI Agent as if it is one thing.

When in reality, there are three different kinds of Agents you can create depending upon what license (if any) you have.

1. SharePoint Agents

2. M365 Copilot Agents

3. Microsoft Copilot Studio Agents

Hopefully this list will bring some clarity
