feature

Azure Copilot will introduce direct access to specialized agents starting August 2026, allowing users to engage specific agents for their goals. This enhancement aims to accelerate the transition from user questions to actionable outcomes by enabling users to select the most suitable agent. Agents will be enabled by default for Azure Copilot users, and global administrators will have granular control to manage individual agents. Initially, four agents—Troubleshooting, Deployment, Optimization, and Resiliency—will be directly invokable from the chat experience.
