This week, Microsoft announced that a new computer use feature is coming to Copilot Studio. Computer use allows users to build AI-powered agents that are able to interact with their desktop and browser applications as long as the third-party system it uses has a graphic user interface.
User-friendly automation to even non-developers
Currently, Microsoft Copilot Studio users can create agents to automate tasks in third-party applications, but only within specific services. With the computer use feature, agents can use third -party applications and sites, just as a person would with the option of clicking buttons, entering the on -screen fields and selecting from menus. This opens up a world of opportunities to automate business tasks.
Copilot Studio’s new computer use feature aims to make the system’s robotic process automation more intuitive and available to the average user. With the ability to perform natural language processing, give full visibility over the computer’s use history and automatically respond to updates, the automation is user-friendly, even for those who are not professional RPA developers.
Microsoft’s notice of Copilot Studio and Computer Use Builds at last month’s release of new AI features that included deep reasoning functions for agents, model context protocol support and the availability of agent flows in the system.
Benefits of Microsoft’s latest update to Copilot Studio
Computer use is especially useful for improving the capacities of AI agents. The addition of computer use agents in Copilot Studio brings new functionality to the system and provides more benefits to the user.
- Functionality without API connection: Agents can perform tasks within third-party systems without requiring an API connection.
- Automatic adjustment to changes in apps and sites: Computer use automatically adapts to system updates and process adjustments in real time for an interrupt -free experience.
- Built on Copilot Studio’s steering framework and security measures: Computer use complies with organizational and industrial standards, and sensitive company data is protected within Microsoft Cloud limits, keeping them secure.
- Microsoft host: Organizations do not need to manage their servers as computer use is running on Microsoft host infrastructure.
- More business functionality: Microsoft’s possible use cases for the new feature include the creation of agents to automate data entry, process invoices or perform market surveys.
