Microsoft has introduced Agents in OneDrive and it solves a very common pain point.

๐๐ป Instead of repeatedly selecting the same set of documents every time you want to ask Copilot something, you group the content once (project plans, meeting notes, specs, decks, etc.) and save it as an agent.
Once thatโs done, you can ask things like:
๐Ask questions across selected project files
๐What action items are still open
๐What deadlines are coming up
๐and even โsummarize key risks and mitigations
The best part is that Copilot answers using only the documents included in that agent, which makes it more focused and relevant compared to general AI chats.
What I personally found interesting is how Microsoft implemented it, agents are stored in OneDrive as โ.agentโ files, just like any other file. So you can open it anytime and continue the conversation in context. Since itโs a real file, you can also share the agent with your team.
Creation is straightforward if you have a Copilot license: you can select up to 20 files, name the agent, optionally add instructions, and save.
The rollout started around December 2025, so if Copilot is already enabled in your tenant, you can try creating one for a real project and see how it fits into daily work.
