Microsoft has announced that its autonomous AI agents are now available for enterprise use, a move that effectively declares AI readiness for prime time. The 10 pre-built agents target core enterprise operations such as CRM and supply chain management.
What’s notable is the scope of Microsoft’s agent ecosystem, which includes 1,400 third-party connectors and supports customization across 1,800 large language models. This has led to significant adoption numbers: 100,000 organizations are already creating or modifying agents, with deployment rates doubling last quarter.
This development has major implications for enterprises, including pre-configured enterprise value, a decisive lead in the market, redefining competition, empowering enterprises to create customized solutions, and shifting the focus from raw output to outcome-based pricing. However, competitors like Google, AWS, and open-source frameworks are catching up, so Microsoft’s lead may not be sustainable.
