Microsoft is now completing the global rollout of AI Workflows within the Teams Workflows app, with general availability reaching completion around now (mid-February). This feature uses Microsoft 365 Copilot to perform recurring tasks in the background with manual intervention from the user.
This update brings what Microsoft is calling “scheduled prompts” to Teams Workflows that allows users to automate complex operations such as generating weekly project summaries or monitoring specific data points across the Microsoft 365 ecosystem. You can access these workflows through a library of templates in the Teams Workflows app.
Microsoft notes that access is restricted to users that possess an active Microsoft 365 Copilot license. It also requires tenant administrators to enable the Workflows app. While the feature is enabled by default once the admin enables the Workflows app, admins can still disable the specific scheduled prompts functionality via Cloud Policy settings.
Organizations that want to use this feature will need to review their internal data policies as AI agents will be interactive with data on an ongoing basis. For those that do opt in, the AI will manage routine information synthesis and reporting tasks in the background. This will allow employees to reduce manual work to focus on more important tasks.
Scheduled prompts have been in preview since late 2025, with the stable rollout starting in January and completing this week. This rollout affects Teams for Web and Mac. Microsoft could extend these scheduled prompts to mobile platforms later on.
