Starting in August 2026, customers can engage directly with Azure Copilot agents to move more quickly from questions to action.
With this update:
  • Choose the right agent for your goal. Customers can select the specific agent best suited to their needs and get to the right action faster.
  • Agents are enabled by default. Azure Copilot agents are enabled by default for users who have access to Azure Copilot.
  • Admins have granular control. Global administrators can enable or disable individual agents directly from the Azure Copilot Admin Center.

As of August 2026, users can directly invoke four Azure Copilot agents from the Azure Copilot chat experience: Troubleshooting, Deployment, Optimization, and Resiliency.
