The New Workflows Agent Deserves More Than a Two-Star Rating

The Workflows Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot lets you build automated workflows using natural language, without jumping into Power Automate or manually building every trigger and action yourself. Instead of needing advanced automation skills, you can describe what you want to happen, let Copilot build the workflow, test it, and make adjustments with simple follow-up prompts. In this video, Greg Trzeciak walks through how to find the Workflows Agent inside the Microsoft 365 Copilot agent experience, what workflows are, and how this Frontier agent can help create automations from plain language. You’ll see a real example using a Planner task summary workflow that checks tasks each weekday morning, groups them by status, and sends a concise Teams message with upcoming priorities. Greg also shows how to save and test the workflow, update it with a follow-up prompt, turn workflows on or off, and where these agent flows can be managed in the Power Platform admin center. If you have ever wanted to automate emails, Teams messages, Planner tasks, or project updates without starting from scratch in Power Automate, the Workflows Agent is worth exploring. 00:00 Build workflows with natural language 01:24 Find the Workflows Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot 02:12 What the Workflows Agent does 04:48 Create a Planner task summary workflow 06:07 Review and save the generated workflow 07:21 Test the workflow in Microsoft Teams 08:20 Update the workflow with a follow-up prompt 09:09 Manage your workflows from Copilot 09:33 Where agent flows live in the admin center 10:49 Workflow ideas and final thoughts
