Microsoft will allow businesses to start making their own autonomous artificial intelligence agents starting next month, taking the fight back to Salesforce, which introduced its own configurable agentic AI tools in September.

Microsoft envisions AI agents taking on responsibilities across the workplace more than ever before. It's releasing 10 fine-tuned agents as well as the ability to create your own.

Microsoft will allow customers to build autonomous artificial intelligence agents starting in November, the software giant said on Monday, in its latest move to tap the booming technology.
