You’ve drunk the Kool Aid. You’ve built the agents. You’ve taught your colleagues to build agents. Now you have 7753 agents and there’s only 1000 people in your company! What do you do now? Can you handle 67 agents called Policy Agent? Can you trust people to connect to the sources they should be using? What happens if someone shares their Agent Builder Agent with all 1000 people? Do you just panic and leave? Or do you let Agent 365 become your sheepdog.

Microsoft’s answer to this is Agent 365, the “single solution” to manage your agents. Through Microsoft 365, Power Platform, Purview and more, Microsoft has brought together many different stories into a more aligned story that can help you bring control and understanding to your tenant. Pipe and shepherd’s crook optional.

This session will outline more of the horror stories that you could face when not keeping your agents in a sheep pen, show you what Agent 365 is and what you need to do about it.

You will learn:

How to get observability across all your agents, regardless of platform

Control what agents have access to

Analyse what agents are doing

Identify how to manage costs and ensure value

Enable makers to use the right tools and build safely

We will look at how Agent 365 can help you from agents from SharePoint, Agent Builder, Copilot Studio, Microsoft Foundry and even beyond. Plus we will likely say agent an awful lot and try and avoid too many sheep puns.
