What are AI Agents?
According to Gartner’s and TRENDFORCE forecasts for 2025, most of the trends are related to the development of AI. One of the technologies closest to us is the technology of AI Agents. So what is an AI agent again?
In a nutshell, an AI agent is an automated AI tool. The AI tools we apply now require us to actively give instructions before they can run, and the AI agent is to help us make decisions and actions autonomously in the context we set. This will actually affect our daily lives, and even the possibility of AI taking the work off our shoulders will be officially adopted in 2025.
Demonstration of the practical business application of AI agents
Maybe you don’t have much imagination about the practical application of AI agents. Here are some examples. As early as 2024, Microsoft has released a series of AI agent tools for their business application Dynamics 365, and even through Copilot Studio, general users can build their own AI agents in a modular way. Next, let me use the AI agent developed by Microsoft to let you actually experience its powerful features
Sales Order Agent Sales status is automatically reported
As long as you link your email account in Microsoft’s ERP system Business Central, the agent will automatically list the letters related to the order closing, and can automatically help you reply to the customer whether the current inventory is sufficient to supply, the whole sales process you only need to spend time to confirm, saving the time of placing orders, so that the business can pay more attention to customer relationship maintenance and new transactions.
Supplier Communications Agent Supplier shipment status and schedule are automatically updated
Supplier and inventory management has always been a challenge for the manufacturing industry, especially if the supplier’s shipment is delayed, how to change the production strategy in real time so that the product can be delivered to the customer on time.
The Supplier Communications Agent is an AI professional assistant that solves this problem. In Microsoft’s ERP system, Finance and Operation, he can automatically compile the shipment status sent by suppliers via email and update the status of purchase orders in real time. You can even automatically recommend the best production strategy based on changes in your purchasing status, ensuring that customers receive their orders on time! This allows purchasing and production staff to focus more on optimizing procurement strategies.
The Account Reconciliation Agent automatically reconciles general ledger and ledger discrepancies
In Microsoft’s ERP system, procurement, sales, accounting, manufacturing and other related units have been integrated through the system. For example, when the purchasing unit completes a purchase order on the system and passes it to the general ledger, the system will automatically record the account in the procurement ledger at the same time.
However, if some manually logged summons omits information about the supplier or customer, the agent will automatically help you find the record and suggest that you should redo it, or help you compare the data to fill in the corresponding ledger.
More AI agent instances
Microsoft has released 9 powerful AI agents that can help us simplify our daily work, due to space limitations, only 3 of them are related to the ERP system to introduce in detail, the following is the official introduction link of the remaining 6 AI agents, for reference.
