AI agents for Microsoft 365

Microsoft 365 is the operational backbone for teams running on Teams, Outlook, and SharePoint. AI agents built on top of it can summarise meetings, triage inboxes, and surface important conversations — without anyone spending hours on coordination overhead. Here are six agent workflows worth building.

Six Microsoft 365 agent teams worth building

Meeting summary team

After every Teams meeting, produces a structured summary with key decisions, open questions, and action items assigned to the right people. Meeting outcomes are captured consistently without anyone spending 20 minutes writing up notes.

Agents in this team

Transcript Reader — Processes the Teams meeting transcript

Decision Extractor — Identifies decisions, actions, and open items

Summary Publisher — Formats and shares the summary to the right channel

Build this team

Outlook inbox triage

Classifies incoming emails by urgency and type, drafts suggested responses for the high-priority ones, and flags anything that needs immediate attention. You start every day knowing exactly where to focus in Outlook.

Agents in this team

Email Classifier — Categorises by urgency, sender, and topic

Response Drafter — Writes suggested replies for priority emails

Attention Flagger — Surfaces emails needing immediate action

Build this team

SharePoint document reviewer

Periodically reviews SharePoint pages and documents that haven't been updated within a set window, flags likely outdated content, and assigns a review task to the original author. Documentation stays current without a dedicated content audit cycle.

Agents in this team

Staleness Scanner — Identifies documents past the review threshold

Content Checker — Assesses whether the content is likely outdated

Author Notifier — Assigns a review task to the original author

Build this team

Teams channel monitor

Watches high-volume Teams channels for important conversations, decisions, or questions that require action — and surfaces a daily digest to the right people. Important threads stop being buried in channel noise.

Agents in this team

Channel Monitor — Reads high-volume channels for signal

Signal Classifier — Identifies decisions, questions, and action items

Digest Sender — Delivers a daily summary to the right team members

Build this team

New hire onboarding assistant

Guides new employees through their Microsoft 365 setup — Teams channels to join, SharePoint sites to bookmark, key contacts to meet — answering common questions and escalating to HR or IT when needed. Onboarding feels intentional from day one.

Agents in this team

Onboarding Sequencer — Sends timed setup guidance over the first week

Question Responder — Answers common IT and process questions

IT and HR Escalator — Routes anything outside its knowledge

Build this team

Calendar optimiser

Reviews your calendar patterns — back-to-back meetings, recurring meetings with no agenda, large meetings with unclear purpose — and suggests consolidations, cancellations, and restructuring. Your calendar gradually becomes more intentional.

Agents in this team

Calendar Auditor — Reviews meeting patterns over the past month

Waste Detector — Identifies recurring, low-value, or redundant meetings

Recommendation Writer — Drafts specific suggestions for calendar changes
