  "textContent": "**[What and Why]**\n\n**Planner Agent chat** in _Microsoft Planner_ brings the existing Planner Agent from Microsoft 365 Copilot directly into the _Planner experience_ as an embedded chat interface. This allows users to ask questions about their plans, identify priorities, and take action without leaving Planner.\n\nThis experience is available in _basic plans in Planner_.\n\nThis update improves productivity by surfacing existing AI capabilities in context, helping users manage tasks, organize work, and gain insights more efficiently.\n\nThis change does not introduce a new agent or modify how customer data is processed. It makes existing Planner Agent capabilities more accessible within the _Planner workflow_.\n\nThis message is associated with **Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID** 560532.\n\n**[Rollout Schedule]**\n\n  * **Targeted Release:** Rollout begins in **mid-June 2026** and is expected to complete by **mid-June 2026**.\n\n\n\n**[Impact on Your Organization]**\n\n_Who is affected_\n\n  * Microsoft 365 tenants where users are enrolled in the _Frontier program_\n  * Users with an eligible Microsoft 365 Copilot license\n\n\n\nOnce a tenant is enrolled in the _Frontier program_ , eligible features may be enabled by default for users within that program.\n\n_Platforms/Services_\n\n  * Planner on the web\n  * Microsoft 365 Copilot\n\n\n\n _What will happen_\n\nThis update adds an embedded Planner Agent chat experience within _basic plans in Planner_ and does not replace or remove any existing functionality.\n\n  * Planner Agent chat will appear as an embedded experience.\n  * The feature is **enabled by default for eligible** Frontier**users**.\n  * Access to this feature is governed by existing Planner Agent and Copilot controls. If the Planner Agent is disabled, users will not have access to this experience. Admins can manage or disable access using existing controls.\n  * Users can interact with the Planner Agent directly within _Planner_ to:\n    * Ask natural language questions, for example _\"Show my top tasks for today\"_\n    * Identify high priority or at-risk work\n    * Apply AI generated filters to focus on key tasks\n    * Draft updates and manage task hierarchy through interactive task cards\n    * Create structured plans organized by goals and buckets\n    * Access contextual insights based on permitted Microsoft 365 data such as emails, meetings, and files\n\n\n\n**[Action Required/Recommendations]**\n\nNo action is required to enable this feature.\n\nTo prepare for this rollout, you can:\n\n  * Identify users who would benefit from early access to Frontier features.\n  * Add those users to a Microsoft Entra ID group and configure Frontier access.\n  * Confirm users have eligible Microsoft 365 Copilot licenses.\n  * Review and configure agent settings in the _Microsoft 365 admin center_.\n  * Update internal documentation and support readiness materials.\n\n\n\n**Learn more:**\n\n  * Frontier program | Microsoft 365 Copilot | Microsoft\n  * Manage agents in the Microsoft 365 admin center | Microsoft Learn\n\n\n\nAdditional documentation will be provided as it becomes available.\n\n**[Compliance considerations]**\n\nQuestion | Answer\n---|---\nDoes the change introduce or significantly modify AI or agent capabilities that interact with customer data? | Yes. This update surfaces an existing Planner Agent as an embedded chat experience within Planner.\nDoes the change provide users a new way of interacting with generative AI? | Yes. Users can now access Planner Agent chat directly within Planner plans instead of separate entry points.",
