Tech Focus: AI in Word & Excel (Meet Agent Mode)
This monthโs spotlight: Microsoftโs Agent Mode in Word and Excel โ a game-changer for writers and business communicators alike.
With Agent Mode, you can generate documents, draft reports, and build spreadsheets using conversational prompts.
The system also includes an Office Agent through Copilot Chat, which can build PowerPoint slides, help with drafting, and more โ kind of like having an AI โco-assistantโ built right into your writing tools.

If youโre part of Microsoft 365โs early access or โFrontierโ program, you may already have access to Agent Mode in the web apps. (Desktop support is rolling out next.)
Start with a simple prompt like:
โDraft a 2-page report summarizing Q3 sales trends with a recommendation section.โ
Or: โCreate a slide deck outline from this document + generate main talking points.โ
Always review & adjust what the AI generates โ itโs a partner, not a replacement.
