Microsoft has introduced AI Workflows in the Teams Workflows app, incorporating intelligent automation capabilities through Microsoft 365 Copilot. This feature is designed to aid users in streamlining daily operations and automating complex tasks.

Microsoft has introduced AI Workflows in the Teams Workflows app, incorporating intelligent automation capabilities through Microsoft 365 Copilot. This feature is designed to aid users in streamlining daily operations and automating complex tasks.

The AI Workflows utilize scheduled Copilot prompts via predefined templates, simplifying the setup process for users aiming to enhance productivity through automation.

The AI Workflows feature is available exclusively to users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Initial rollout began with Targeted Release in late September 2025 and concluded by early October 2025. The global deployment started in late January 2026 and is anticipated to complete by mid-February 2026.

The feature supports Teams for Web and Mac platforms, and workflow templates leverage scheduled Copilot prompts to automate routine tasks. Users can access these templates directly from the Workflows app homepage in Teams, which offers various AI-powered automation options.

By default, AI Workflows is disabled and requires administrative activation of the Workflows app in Microsoft Teams. Organizations should familiarize themselves with Copilot scheduled prompts and enable the feature through Teams admin settings.

Administrators have the option to disable the feature using Cloud Policy. By setting the "Allow the use of additional optional connected experiences in Office" policy to Disabled, scheduled prompts in Microsoft 365 Copilot will also be disabled, allowing organizations to manage the feature per compliance and security requirements.

It is advisable for organizations to review their data handling policies and align them with governance frameworks before enabling this feature.
