Summary: Microsoft launches Microsoft Agent 365

Why It Matters: Microsoft is shifting its focus from simple AI chat to "agentic" AI. This means their tools will now perform complex tasks and manage business processes automatically rather than just answering questions.

What Changed:

• Added Microsoft Agent 365 as a central control plane for AI agents.
• Introduced a dedicated "Microsoft AI" hub with industry-specific solutions for 11 sectors, including Defense, Energy, and Healthcare.
• Launched "Microsoft Foundry" (formerly AI Studio) for businesses to build custom AI models.
• Added a "Trustworthy AI" section focusing on "Responsible AI" transparency and data privacy.
• Updated the homepage to prioritize "Frontier Transformation" and "Agentic Era" messaging over general productivity.
