Summary:
Microsoft Dynamics 365 adds autonomous AI agents
Why It Matters:

What Changed:

- Introduced the ability to create custom agents using Copilot Studio.
- Updated the product layout to categorize tools specifically into CRM, ERP, and Small Business segments.
- Added a new "Capabilities" section focusing on connecting data across departments using AI-powered insights.
- Included a new FAQ section explaining the specific use cases for AI in retail, finance, and manufacturing.
