Project Manager agent now available in Planner for the web
Project Manager agent is now integrated and available within Planner for the web, making task management and project coordination more accessible to users directly through their browser. This update allows teams to leverage Project Manager agent’s intelligent capabilities—such as plan generation, status report creation, and task execution—regardless of which endpoint they use Planner.
Project Manager agent now supports web search
The Project Manager agent in Planner can now search the web in real time to enhance the output of tasks it executes. It intelligently identifies which tasks can benefit from external information, performs the search, and incorporates relevant insights and references directly into the Project Manager agent output. This capability respects your organization’s existing controls—if web search is enabled for a user, it works automatically with no additional setup required.
