General Availability of Declarative Agents in Microsoft Word and Microsoft PowerPoint (Web)
Microsoft has introduced Declarative Agents to Word and PowerPoint Web, which allows users to customize Copilot for Microsoft 365. Users can easily install and use these agents via Teams or the Microsoft 365 Admin Center, and no admin actions are required before rollout. Declarative agents enable users to tailor Copilot for Microsoft 365 to better meet individual or organizational needs by providing specific instructions and knowledge. Rollout is set to start in late October 2024, with completion by late November. The availability of Declarative agents in Word and PowerPoint Web is part of Microsoft's efforts to enable first-party and third-party partners to build domain-specific experiences on Microsoft 365 apps sidecar copilot.
Users can install Declarative Agents in two ways - by sideloading a Declarative Agent through the App Store on Teams or by adding from Teams Store. Administrators can manage the agents published to their organization using Integrated Apps in the same way they manage other integrated apps. By adopting Declarative Agents, users will be able to open any new Word/PowerPoint document on the Web and go to Home->Copilot and then the Hamburger Menu.
