Microsoft launches ‘vibe working’ with Agent Mode and Office Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot

Microsoft has launched new features in its 365 Copilot, introducing Agent Mode in Office apps and Office Agent in Copilot chat. Announcing the new features, the company said the update is designed to bring “agentic productivity” to Office tools, allowing users to work with AI more interactively. With Agent Mode, available in Excel and Word, users can generate spreadsheets and documents directly within the apps by starting with a simple prompt and then refining results through iterative guidance. Support for PowerPoint will follow soon.

The new Office Agent in Copilot chat, on the other hand, can create polished PowerPoint presentations and ready-to-use Word documents from a single prompt. Microsoft said Excel support will be added in the coming months.
