[Introduction]

Starting November 17, 2025, agents created in Copilot Studio lite within Microsoft 365 Copilot will be able to generate Word, Excel, and PowerPoint content. This capability is part of the “Generate documents, charts, and code” skillset (formerly known as Code Interpreter), designed to help users complete common tasks more efficiently. These skills were first introduced in Microsoft 365 Copilot in October and are now extending to agents—bringing the same powerful creation tools into custom workflows.
