About this tag
Discussions on WindowsForum.com about AI agents cover practical enterprise deployments, security, and platform changes. Topics include Anthropic merging Claude's chat and agent modes into a unified interface, Estonia's government-backed AI ID framework for revocable agent permissions, and Microsoft's retirement of the Assistants API in favor of Foundry Agent Service. Password management for agents is addressed by 1Password for Claude, which avoids exposing credentials. Microsoft 365 Copilot expands to large organizations like L&T Group, while Excel Agent Mode and Purview Insider Risk Management for agents reach government clouds. These threads focus on real-world agent infrastructure, compliance, and migration planning rather than theoretical AI.
