LONDON — Microsoft will allow businesses to start making their own autonomous artificial intelligence agents starting next month, taking the fight back to Salesforce, which introduced its own configurable agentic AI tools in September.
At its “AI Tour” event in London on Monday, Microsoft revealed plans to allow organizations to create their own autonomous agents within Copilot Studio, the U.S. tech giant’s platform for customizing and building so-called “copilot” assistants. These agents had previously been available in private preview after Microsoft announced them initially in May. Starting next month, they’ll move into public preview, meaning more organizations can start building AI agents of their own.
Competition is fierce Microsoft is doubling down on AI agents at a time when competition is intensifying up in the red-hot artificial intelligence space. Last month, at its annual Dreamforce showcase in San Francisco, Salesforce showed off a new platform called Agentforce, which allows enterprise organizations to spin up their own AI agents. Zahra Bahrololoumi, Salesforce’s CEO of U.K. and Ireland, criticized the copilot model of AI assistants as not serving the needs of enterprises that well.
