From PC Mag: Microsoft is making complex Word and Excel tasks easier to handle with a new Agent Mode in Microsoft 365 Copilot.
With this addition, you don't necessarily need to be a Word or Excel wizard to generate high-quality documents or spreadsheets. You can start with a simple prompt in the sidebar, let Copilot respond, and then provide further prompts to make it deliver the results you desire. Microsoft's calling it "vibe working."
"In the same way vibe coding has transformed software development, the latest reasoning models in Copilot unlock agentic productivity for Office artifacts," said Sumit Chauhan, corporate vice president of Microsoft's Office Product Group. "It's the new pattern of work for human-agent collaboration."
Copilot's Agent Mode relies on the latest AI models from OpenAI. In Excel, you can use it to not just generate outputs but also to evaluate results and fix issues. After receiving a prompt, it walks you through each step of its response.
