Enhancements Could Break Down Agent Adoption Barriers

• Copilot Studio, Microsoft’s maker-oriented tool for building AI agents, continues to receive enhancements.
• Recent updates for agents built with Copilot Studio focus on security, governance, testing, and analytics.
• A “Computer Use” feature lets agents operate desktop and Web app UIs, similar to RPA, bringing compatibility with solutions that can’t be controlled with APIs.
• The improvements help administrators maintain better control over agents, make agents easier to build, and enable agents to address new scenarios.

Copilot Studio continues to receive frequent significant updates. The latest round arrived in Nov. 2025, and several of these remain in preview.

However, organizations must still address traditional software requirements, such as governance, security, and testing.
