Wave 3 of Microsoft 365 Copilot
Alongside Frontier Suite, Microsoft is launching Wave 3 of Microsoft 365 Copilot. Employees get intelligent helpers that support workflows in real time and free up time for more strategic work.
This update brings:
- More advanced AI agents
- Tighter integration in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook
- Automation and analysis directly inside your work tools

Intelligence + Trust
Microsoft emphasizes that the combination of intelligence and trust is critical. This lets organizations use AI confidently and maximize value across the whole company.
AI only becomes useful when it:
- Understands the organization's own data
- Knows the workflows and how people collaborate
- Operates in a secure and responsible way
Work IQ and a broader AI ecosystem
With the Work IQ concept, AI connects to the organization's collective knowledge, so Copilot can understand how work actually gets done and provide relevant insights. The platform also supports multiple AI models, including OpenAI and Anthropic.
Agent 365: AI agents for workflows
The launch of Agent 365 makes it possible to build your own AI agents. This gives organizations a structured way to roll out AI across departments and create real value.
Agent 365 can:
- Automate work tasks
- Follow up with customers and projects
- Generate reports and analyses

Frontier Suite becomes available from May 1, 2026 at $99 per user per month. For organizations that want to be early, this is a chance to set up a future-ready, secure AI platform.
