Microsoft has unveiled a wave of new innovations designed to make AI more accessible, secure, and impactful for organizations of all sizes. From affordable Copilot subscriptions for small businesses to advanced agent management tools, these updates mark a significant step toward an AI-powered future.

Microsoft 365 Copilot Business: AI for SMBs

AI has often felt out of reach for small and medium-sized businesses. That changes with Microsoft 365 Copilot Business, a subscription tailored specifically for SMBs with fewer than 300 users.

• Available starting December 1, 2025
• Pricing begins at $21 per user/month
• Bundling with Business Premium delivers a 25% saving per user, per month

This new tier ensures SMBs can benefits from the full power of Copilot—brainstorming, drafting, analyzing, and automating—without compromising on features or breaking budgets.

Microsoft Agent 365: One Pane for AI Governance

Managing AI agents across your organization is now simpler with Microsoft Agent 365. This unified dashboard allows businesses to:

• Govern the lifecycle of AI agents
• Scale adoption securely and efficiently
• Access early features via the Frontier Program in the M365 admin center

By centralizing agent management, Microsoft is putting governance and compliance at the heart of AI adoption.

Smarter, Customizable AI Agents

Microsoft continues to expand the capabilities of AI agents, introducing new ways to tailor them to business needs:

• Work IQ for custom agents: Build agents that respect your existing permissions, sensitivity labels, and compliance rules.

• Admin Agents:
• Teams Admin Agent streamlines tasks like meeting monitoring and user provisioning.
• SharePoint Admin Agent (preview) ensures environments remain secure, compliant, and cost-effective.

• Three new Work IQ-powered agents:
• Workforce Insights Agent: Real-time visibility into roles, tenures, and locations.
• People Agent: Quickly find colleagues by role, skill, or function.
• Learning Agent: Deliver curated courses aligned with team goals.

New Updates to Microsoft 365 Copilot

Copilot itself is evolving with powerful new features:

• Teams Mode: Collaborate with Copilot directly in Teams conversations using “@Copilot.”

• Security Copilot: Now included for all Microsoft 365 E5 customers, integrating 12 new agents across Defender, Entra, Intune, and Purview.

• Create with Sora 2: Generate short video clips with prompts, stock footage, voiceovers, and brand kits.

• Agent Mode in Office apps: Now generally available in Word and Excel, with PowerPoint access via the Frontier Program.
