It includes modules such as Dynamics 365 Sales, Customer Service, Finance, Supply Chain Management, and more. These applications help companies manage customer interactions, finances, operations, and other core activities in an integrated platform.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Dynamics 365 also incorporates Microsoft Copilot (an AI-powered assistant) to enhance productivity. Copilot and the new Dynamics 365 agents use <strong>Artificial Intelligence (AI) <\/strong>to automate tasks, analyze data, and support users with insights and recommendations directly within the business workflow.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>New AI \u201cAgents\u201d for Business<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In late October 2025, Microsoft introduced two new Dynamics 365 AI agents:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><strong>Sales Close Agent<\/strong> \u2013 This agent helps sales teams focus on high-value opportunities and close deals faster by proactively identifying risks in the pipeline and even completing simple sales transactions. <em>(Available in public preview since October 25, 2025.)<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div style=\"width: 800px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-70268-1\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/www.schneider.im\/media\/2025\/11\/SCHNEIDER-IT-MANAGEMENT-2025-11-26-Update-Microsoft-Dynamics-365-Sales-Close-Agent.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.schneider.im\/media\/2025\/11\/SCHNEIDER-IT-MANAGEMENT-2025-11-26-Update-Microsoft-Dynamics-365-Sales-Close-Agent.mp4\">https:\/\/www.schneider.im\/media\/2025\/11\/SCHNEIDER-IT-MANAGEMENT-2025-11-26-Update-Microsoft-Dynamics-365-Sales-Close-Agent.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><strong>Quality Evaluation Agent<\/strong> \u2013 This agent monitors service quality in real time across customer support cases and calls.

For example:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><strong>Account Reconciliation Agent<\/strong> (Dynamics 365 Finance) \u2013 Automates financial reconciliations.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Supplier Communications Agent<\/strong> (Supply Chain Management) \u2013 Automates supplier email responses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">These agents were introduced earlier and illustrate Microsoft\u2019s broader move to embed AI across all areas of business operations.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Copilot Credits Included in Premium Licenses<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To support these AI features, Dynamics 365 Premium licenses began including <strong>1,000 Copilot Credits per user<\/strong> as of November 25, 2025. This built-in monthly credit allowance (pooled at the tenant level) gives organizations a substantial amount of AI usage capacity out-of-the-box. It lowers the barrier to using the new agents, since many scenarios can be tried without immediate additional costs or licenses.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Licensing<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The new Dynamics 365 agents are add-on capabilities that work with existing Dynamics 365 apps and consume Copilot Credits when they run. Each agent requires its corresponding Dynamics 365 application (for example, the Sales Close Agent requires a Dynamics 365 Sales license, and the Quality Evaluation Agent works with Dynamics 365 Customer Service or Contact Center).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With the latest changes, customers with a Premium Stock Keeping Unit (SKU) of a Dynamics 365 app (such as Sales Premium, Customer Service Premium, Finance Premium, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.schneider.im\/lu\/microsoft-dynamics-365-supply-chain-management-premium-available\/\">Supply Chain Management Premium<\/a>) automatically receive <strong>1,000 Copilot Credits per user<\/strong> as part of their license each month. These credits are shared across the tenant, allowing flexibility in how they are used among different agents and users.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If the included credits are not enough, or if a customer is using a non-Premium (standard) license, additional Copilot Credits can be obtained through several options. Microsoft offers <strong>pay-as-you-go usage<\/strong>, <strong>capacity pack add-ons<\/strong>, and <strong>pre-purchase plans<\/strong> for buying extra Copilot Credit capacity.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This flexible licensing approach allows organizations to start experimenting with AI agents using the credits included in Premium plans and then scale up their usage by purchasing more credits only when needed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Expert tip:<\/strong> Because licensing can be complex with the mix of base application licenses and AI credit add-ons, it is wise <a href=\"https:\/\/www.schneider.im\/contact\/\">to seek professional guidance<\/a>. <strong>SCHNEIDER IT MANAGEMENT<\/strong> offers expert advice to help businesses understand these changes and optimize their Dynamics 365 licensing.
