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.
Investec switched on Microsoft Copilot for roughly 8,000 employees across South Africa, the United Kingdom and other international markets on June 24, 2026, while also disclosing that more than 800 internal AI agents are already active across the banking and wealth management group. The...
Databricks announced Genie One on June 16, 2026, as an agentic AI coworker for business teams that can analyze company data, automate workflows, and operate across Databricks, external applications, and workplace tools. The pitch is simple enough to fit on a keynote slide: stop making employees...

Microsoft’s decision to fold its consumer and enterprise Copilot efforts into a single, unified system marks the most consequential reorientation of its AI product stack since Copilot was first introduced — and it rewrites the operating assumptions for IT leaders, developers, and end users who...
Microsoft’s Copilot has moved decisively from being a conversational assistant to behaving like a personal, background worker: the company’s Copilot Tasks launch — introduced as a research preview on February 26, 2026 — promises AI that not only advises but executes, running its own browser and...
Microsoft’s AI push into “do-it-for-you” work hit a new inflection point this week as Copilot — the company’s flagship workplace assistant — gained a new, agentic sibling: Copilot Cowork, developed in close collaboration with Anthropic. The shift is not incremental. Copilot Cowork is explicitly...

Anthropic’s Cowork transforms Claude from a conversational companion into a hands‑on desktop coworker that can open a folder on your machine, read and edit files, run multi‑step plans autonomously, and return finished deliverables — and Anthropic is rolling it out as a research preview to paid...
Microsoft’s Copilot has moved from conversational helper to active worker: with the release of Copilot Tasks as a research preview, Microsoft is piloting an autonomous, cloud‑hosted agent that accepts plain‑English goals, builds multi‑step plans, spins up its own browser and compute environment...
Microsoft’s AI pivot isn't a marketing slogan anymore — it’s the architecture of the software you open every morning, the cloud that runs your company's tools, and a major thesis shaping portfolios on Wall Street.

Microsoft has quietly shifted Copilot from being a conversational helper into an assistant that can act on your behalf: Copilot Tasks is a new agentic capability that accepts natural‑language goals, builds multi‑step plans, and executes them in the background using its own cloud‑based compute...
Enterprise software is growing more structured and, paradoxically, more opaque: as organizations centralize identity and governance to give AI-driven automation a reliable foundation, they are creating new systemic blind spots where visibility, accountability, and trust can break down...
Anthropic’s new Cowork turns Claude from a conversational partner into a hands‑on desktop assistant that can read, edit, and create files inside a user‑designated folder — a feature that promises real productivity gains for non‑technical users while reopening familiar security, governance, and...

The insurance industry is staring at an inflection point: agentic AI — systems that plan, act, and persist state across multi-step workflows under human oversight — promises to translate scattered pilots into enterprise-scale productivity, but doing so requires a far more disciplined playbook...
Agentic AI has crossed the threshold from satisfying demos to practical, workplace-ready automation: a new class of assistants can now plan multi-step workflows, operate browsers and apps like a human, and—when configured carefully—execute outcomes without constant human prompting. For...
Google’s Gemini has quietly slipped out of the “shiny demo” category and into the daily routines of executives, project leads, and knowledge workers — not by grand pronouncements alone, but through steady product integration, longer context wiwindows, and feature sets that map directly onto real...
BrowserOS’s incremental update cycle continues to shape the emerging category of “agentic” browsers — the project’s recent 0.36.x milestones (Neowin’s short listing for 0.36.2 prompted this look) are another signal that BrowserOS is maturing quickly as a privacy‑first Chromium fork that runs AI...
