AI & Agent functionality
Microsoft's AI layer for Teams Phone is moving fast — from Copilot call summaries to full voice agents that replace DTMF IVR. Here's what's real today, what's rolling out, and how it composes with your existing Auto Attendants and Call Queues.
Copilot in Teams Phone
GAReal-time call notes, live transcription, post-call summary and follow-up actions surfaced directly in the Teams call window and chat.
- Live transcript in supported languages
- Auto-generated call summary
- Suggested follow-ups and action items
AI-powered Auto Attendant / Voice Agents
Rolling outNatural-language IVR that replaces rigid DTMF trees. Callers describe what they need; the agent classifies intent and routes them to the right queue, human or knowledge answer.
- Intent classification instead of 'press 1 for sales'
- Multi-turn dialog with context
- Handoff to a human queue with full transcript
Agent handoff patterns
Design patternThe recommended flow when combining voice agents with existing queues: bot answers, collects intent and identity, then transfers to a Call Queue or Queues app supervisor with all the context attached.
- Bot answers and authenticates the caller
- Structured data (intent, account, priority) passed on transfer
- Agent sees the transcript before they say hello
Analytics & QA agents
EmergingPost-call agents that summarise calls, score sentiment, flag compliance risks and feed into reporting — reducing manual QA sampling to a review-by-exception model.
- Automated call summarisation across the estate
- Sentiment and topic trends per queue
- Compliance and keyword flagging
