agentic automation

About this tag
Agentic automation refers to AI systems that can autonomously plan and execute multi-step tasks within governed enterprise workflows. On WindowsForum, discussions cover Microsoft's Copilot Tasks and Copilot Cowork, which move beyond conversational AI to execute actions like scheduling and report generation. Azure Logic Apps Automation introduces runtime-adaptive workflows with human approval and audit controls. UiPath's leadership changes signal a shift from RPA to agentic orchestration. Databricks Genie One and Suralink's Agent Library apply agentic automation to business analytics and accounting, respectively. Investec's deployment of 800+ AI agents across banking highlights real-world scale. Common themes include governance, enterprise controls, and integration with Microsoft 365 and Azure ecosystems.
