Microsoft's Agent 365 became generally available on May 1, 2026, and Slackbot's agent version is generally available for Business+ and Enterprise+ customers, according to coverage of the launches, including TechCrunch's January report that Slackbot is an AI agent now. VentureBeat also reported Microsoft's warning that ungoverned agents could become corporate "double agents," with a governance fix priced at $99 a month.
General availability moves agents from pilots to procurement. We did not verify customer counts for either product.
