1. Microsoft 365 Copilot Lets Organizations Publish Their Own Agents to the Agent Store

Microsoft. Microsoft’s July 15 Microsoft 365 Copilot release notes added the ability for customers to submit agents built in Agent Builder to the Agent Store under a “Built by your org” section. Submissions go through admin review and approval in the Microsoft 365 Admin Center, giving organizations a governed path to publish internally built agents so other employees can discover and use them. The change extends Copilot’s agent tooling from creation into managed, org-wide distribution. Source
