Introducing Skills Agent
The Skills Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot, empowers individuals and leaders to easily find experts in the organization, make informed decisions about skill development, and helps create dynamic skill-based teams to tackle any project. The Skills Agent is powered by the People Skills data layer, which uses advanced AI capabilities to infer skills for every person in the organization, providing a comprehensive view of areas of expertise and focus all in one place.
People Skills licensing
People Skills comes with your Copilot or Viva licenses and doesn’t need a separate license.
AI inferencing and other advanced experiences are available to all users with Copilot or select Viva licenses, while other Microsoft 365 commercial users can manually create skills profiles using the profile editor.
