Business value

Agents handle more tasks in Business Central. While agents provide valuable help, you need to maintain transparency and control over their tasks to keep the workflow smooth and on track. The human-in-the-loop concept on the Agent task pane lets you maintain the human in the loop by adding extra instructions.

Feature details

The Copilot and agents task pane shows the tasks each agent works on. You can make sure the agent does what you want. If an agent needs your help to complete a task, for example, if it's blocked because it can't find an item or a customer, use the Additional instructions field to give the agent the information it needs to get unblocked and go back to work.

All agent tasks appear on a tab in the Copilot chat pane. You can give the agent extra instructions. In the Additional instructions field, enter your own instructions or select some from a predefined set. When you provide more instructions, you'll get more control over the agent. It's easy to correct the agent's course.

This feature applies to all agents in Business Central.
