What a ready-made agent is

Seven screens. About three minutes.

One large box labelled an agent. an agent

A word doing too much work.

In Microsoft 365 it has a narrow meaning.

A cut-away box labelled an agent holding three boxes: a job, some knowledge, some limits. an agenta jobsome knowledgesome limits

Three things, always.

Take one away and it is just a chatbot.

Two panels. On the left a person labelled a new starter. On the right a person labelled a temp who knows the filing. a chatbotan agenta new starteralready briefed

Like a temp who was briefed.

Same person, told what the job is first.

Four boxes in a row labelled built by Microsoft, built by your organisation, built by you, bought in. Microsoftyour employeryoubought in

Somebody built it.

Ready-made ones come from Microsoft.

A box labelled the agent with an arrow to a box labelled a result and an amber box beneath labelled a person is still accountable. the agenta resultsomebody is accountable

It is not accountable. You are.

Nothing about an agent moves that.

Open Copilot at work and look at what is listed under agents or tools.

That's the whole thing
