Microsoft OneDrive for Business: Agents in OneDrive

Agents in OneDrive, launching worldwide in November 2025, let Microsoft 365 Copilot users group files for AI-powered Q&A, summaries, and collaboration. Agents are saved as .agent files in OneDrive, editable and shareable with teams, enhancing project efficiency without admin action required. Agents in OneDrive lets you group files and folders together, so you can ask questions, get summaries, and find key details across your project—without having to reselect items each time. Agents are saved in your OneDrive and can be shared with your team, making collaboration and staying up to date easier. This new capability helps users work more efficiently by turning OneDrive into a workspace for AI-powered project assistance. This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 469503. When this will happen: General Availability (Worldwide): Rollout will begin in mid-November 2025 and is expected to complete by late November 2025. How this affects your organization: Who is affected: Users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license assigned to either work or school accounts (Microsoft 365 commercial or education tenants).  What will happen: Users will see a new agent option in OneDrive. How to use Agents in OneDrive: Create your Agent: When users first select the Copilot button in OneDrive or the +Create or upload button, a guided experience will introduce agents and walk users through how to create and use them. From there, users can create an agent from their OneDrive using the +Create or upload option and then select the Agent option (screenshot 1):  View image in new tab Alternatively, users can select the files to include in an agent, then choose Create an agent from the Copilot toolbar dropdown menu (screenshot 2):  View image in new tab Access your agent as a file in OneDrive (.agent extension), filter by file type “agent” (screenshot 3):  View image in new tab Open the agent to ask questions and get answers from your documents.
