Prodware and Microsoft are taking digital transformation to the next level with the arrival of AI Agents. Available within the Microsoft 365 ecosystem, these agents redefine the role of artificial intelligence: they don’t just assist – they reason, learn, and propose strategies.
Copilot: AI for Everyday Productivity
Since its launch, Microsoft Copilot has helped professionals automate repetitive tasks such as:
- Creating content
- Summarizing meetings
- Drafting reports
- Quickly analyzing information
Copilot acts as an intelligent assistant embedded in Word, Excel, Outlook, and Teams. It speeds up production, improves clarity, and simplifies decision-making.
But Copilot remains an execution tool: it performs what you ask – without independent reasoning or initiative.
AI Agents: Toward Autonomous, Strategic Intelligence
Microsoft is now introducing a new generation of AI agents that go far beyond assistance. These agents are autonomous, analytical, and interactive. They can:
- Reason: Evaluate multiple hypotheses before making a recommendation
- Explore: Analyze different scenarios and cross-reference data from multiple sources
- Collaborate: Engage in dialogue, refine requests, and iterate
Where Copilot executes, AI Agents think, argue, and propose.
Copilot and AI Agents: Complementary Roles
It’s not about choosing one over the other – it’s about combining them:
- Copilot boosts individual productivity
- AI Agents drive collective thinking and decision-making
Together, they embody Microsoft and Prodware’s vision:
One Copilot for every employee, one AI Agent for every business process.
Two New Forms of Applied Intelligence
The Research Agent: AI That Thinks Strategy
Inspired by consulting methodologies, this agent structures strategic thinking. It formulates hypotheses, synthesizes available data, and builds a coherent action plan. Whether it’s a marketing roadmap, an internal transformation project, or a competitive analysis, it organizes ideas and guides decisions.
The Analyst Agent: Data That Drives Decisions
Connected to internal systems (ERP, CRM, business files), this agent decodes raw data to extract actionable insights. It highlights trends, builds forecasts, and visualizes results—so business teams can interpret complex datasets without relying on technical experts.
Both agents share the same promise: turning information into useful intelligence.
Prodware’s Role: From Assistance to AI Strategy
We help businesses move from tools to a true AI strategy by:
- Identifying high-impact use cases
- Training teams to use AI agents effectively
- Integrating and customizing models via Copilot Studio
- Connecting agents to internal data ecosystems for maximum value
This approach ensures AI remains controlled, aligned, and valuable – serving business priorities.
