General feedback & ideas

[Beach-lion]

I've been testing out Agent Mode, and only have one thing to say: WOW!!

No issues here, obviously I understand that it's in testing and development. Keep this up and it will be absolutely fantastic!
A few thoughts though (even though I know you are already aware):

• Make it possible to pop out the chat window?
• Make it available in excel desktop app.
• Make it save chats so that one can continue a chat where leaving off.
• Make it available for business accounts (as far as I understand, it's only available for premium private accounts as of now).

Looking forward to continuing using Agent Mode!

Thank you for your feedback. The Agent Mode team has seen this (that's not me though).

Agent Mode has graduated into the product already, after a very short preview in Excel Labs.

In future, it may probably be removed from Labs, as further development continues in the in-product version.

There are instructions for switching from Labs to the Agent Mode built into Copilot: https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/office/agent-mode-in-excel-frontier-a2fd6fe4-97ac-416b-b89a-22f4d1357c7a

Thanks!

You might not be the right person to ask, but my understanding is that agent mode is not yet available for business users (but that might be when it was part of labs?)?

Can I use agent mode with my business 365 user if I pay for a copilot plan?

[NWilson]

I'm not sure about that. On the page I linked:

Important:

• If you have an enterprise Microsoft 365 Copilot license, your admin must enable Frontier access for your organization.

• If you have a Microsoft 365 Personal, Family, or Premium subscription, turn on Frontier features by using the toggle under the Copilot button:

So possibly it is supported. If not, then I expect it will be soon (no promises, or further information on timelines from me).

Thanks again Nicholas,

I now have a copilot license, but I cant seem to figure out how to access Agent Mode on desktop or on Web. I should have frontier access enabled by my administrator, but I'm not sure where to check if this is the case.

I understand you are not the correct person to ask about this, but would you be able to point me in the right direction? Any support pages or similar where I can post my questions and ask for help?
