About Frontier

The Frontier program gives customers early, hands-on access to experimental Microsoft 365 Copilot innovations in their own environment. The agents and AI features designated as “Frontier” are previews, built for evaluation and feedback purposes. As these features are still in development, their availability and capabilities may change at any time.

When this will happen:

How this affects your organization:

  • Who is affected: Customers with Microsoft 365 Copilot and the Microsoft 365 Copilot in Productivity Apps service plan (excluding faculty and student SKUs).
  • What will happen:
    • Learning agent (Frontier) will be available to deploy in the Copilot Control Center within Microsoft 365 admin center.
    • Users will be able to install and use the Learning agent within Microsoft 365 Copilot or Teams.
    • Admins have controls to manage deployment, including install, restrict, or remove the agent.
    • Feature is opt-in; admins must deploy or allow access.

What you can do to prepare:

Frontier features are experimental and subject to change. Participation in the Frontier program is optional.
