Microsoft has introduced the Project Manager agent, a new AI-powered feature in Microsoft Planner, announced at Microsoft Ignite. This feature, leveraging generative AI through Microsoft AutoGen, enhances project management by breaking down complex tasks into manageable steps, assigning responsibilities between AI agents and human users, and refining outcomes based on feedback. The new Microsoft Planner also integrates with Microsoft Copilot, which helps generate new plans, set goals, track status, and react to project changes using natural-language prompts. This integration aims to streamline planning, management, and execution of work, keeping users informed as they achieve their goals, and is set to roll out in early 2024[1][3][5].
