Why it matters for the agentic web
Microsoft owns the software most office work already happens in. Putting agents inside Office, Teams, and Azure means hundreds of millions of workers get agentic help by default, and every business tool that wants to stay relevant has to become agent-readable.
The other side of this story
Microsoft sends agents out to use the web. Our platform is the receiving end: a #name and portal make your business findable, readable, and transactable by exactly these agents.
