Key points
- CoPilot users who used it at least half the time Jan‑Jun 2024 saw 9.4% higher revenue per account manager.
- The same group achieved a 20% increase in close rates versus low‑usage peers.
- Microsoft deployed over 100 AI agents in its cloud supply chain, cutting cycle time up to 75% in selected workflows.
The company also reports that more than 100 AI agents have been deployed across its cloud supply‑chain functions such as planning, sourcing, fulfillment and logistics. Those agents can evaluate demand shifts, model capacity and compare transportation options, and in selected workflows they have reduced cycle time by up to 75%. The blog highlights lessons from hundreds of AI transformation projects and notes that some agents now act on purchase orders within defined permission and approval limits.
The post references broader industry concerns about autonomous AI systems, noting calls from Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman for a development slowdown, and points to Microsoft’s September 14 draft code of conduct for its AI models.
