Microsoft launches Agent Store inside M365 Copilot to build, publish & discover AI agents
Microsoft today unveiled the Agent Store — a new marketplace integrated into Microsoft 365 Copilot that lets users browse, install, and try AI agents built by Microsoft, partners, or even yourself. The idea: make AI assistants more accessible across Teams, Office apps, and the broader M365 environment. With support for low-code and pro-code development, the Agent Store is Microsoft’s push to let organizations scale automation and personal agents without leaving the Microsoft ecosystem.
What is the Agent Store? It’s a centralized, curated marketplace inside Microsoft 365 Copilot, where users can discover agents suited for tasks like knowledge retrieval, document workflows, data operations, and more. It supports personalized discovery and seamless integration with Teams and other M365 apps.

Why agents, and why now? While Copilot serves as a general assistant interface, agents are purpose-built bots that tackle specific workflows or business needs — from HR queries to sales operations. The store makes it easier to share, adopt, and manage those agents across teams.

Launch scale & catalog At launch, the Agent Store features 70+ agents spanning Microsoft’s own, partner-built, and customer-created tools. These agents come with detail pages, search with zero-query suggestions, and sharing links to boost adoption.
4/5
For developers & partners Microsoft offers devs and partners two paths: use low-code tools or build custom logic with the Microsoft 365 Agents Toolkit and Copilot Studio. Publishing gives access to M365 users, co-marketing, analytics, and feedback.
What’s next? Microsoft plans to evolve the experience with smarter recommendations, deeper integration across M365 apps, more editorial content, and expanded promotion for agents. The goal is to grow the ecosystem and usability over time.
