Microsoft is taking inspiration from the idea of “vibe coding,” where developers create apps using simple AI prompts.
Now, the same concept is coming to Office productivity tools.
This means that anyone — even without technical skills — can build reports, models, or proposals just by using natural language.
Agent Mode: Your Smarter Copilot
Microsoft’s Agent Mode takes AI assistance to the next level.
Powered by GPT-5, it can break down large, multi-step tasks into smaller, logical steps.
Users can watch these steps unfold in a sidebar, almost like seeing an automated macro in action.
This feature allows you to create board-ready presentations or consultant-level documents in minutes, according to Sumit Chauhan, Corporate VP of Microsoft’s Office Product Group.
Office Agent in Copilot Chat
Alongside Agent Mode, Microsoft is introducing an Office Agent in Copilot Chat, powered by Anthropic models.
This AI can generate entire PowerPoint presentations or Word documents through a simple conversational exchange, making document creation intuitive and collaborative.
Reliable and Accurate for Critical Work
Microsoft has paid special attention to Excel, as many businesses rely on it for critical data.
Agent Mode ensures that all generated sheets are auditable, refreshable, and verifiable.
A strong validation loop across sub-agents helps maintain accuracy and reliability, even for complex tasks.
