Recently, Microsoft introduced a new concept of AI agents that can act not just as assistants, but as independent participants in the workflow. Within these tools, it is now possible to create artificial “digital units” that understand the context of a task, initiate actions, communicate with other systems, and even coordinate the work of individual employees. This is not just another software update. It signals that artificial intelligence is transitioning to a new stage of development, where it stops being a passive tool and becomes an active agent in the business environment. For the automation market, this may mean a fundamental shift in the principles of work organization.
