Cloud Wars Live with Bob Evans · 2026-08-07 · 2 min
In today's Cloud Wars AI Minute, I explain how Microsoft's AI agent momentum could transform business applications at scale. Highlights 00:00 - So we're now hearing, according to Microsoft, that it has 40 million agents deployed now in the Microsoft ecosystem. Now compare that to the 30 million seats that it actually has sold for the M365 Copilot, and that really starts to show us that AI agent creation and things of this nature are starting to take off when we're starting to see more than one-to-one ratios here. 00:33 - So this is a really big situation for Microsoft. It's actually a really good signal that custom agents and agents that are being built are starting to get more value off the backside. Now we can't necessarily completely get to this level because what you'll see is a lot of these agents are probably really simple right now. 00:54 - But with some of the new applications coming out and the focus that Microsoft also came out and announced - that they are looking at going through and producing a Super App Copilot - and this was something that Satya Nadella just talked about in the news just last week.
