Microsoft 365 E7
Redmond: Microsoft has introduced a new USD 99‑per‑user software bundle called Microsoft 365 E7 to help companies use AI more easily in their daily work. The bundle will be available starting May 1, 2026. It brings together several of Microsoft’s top products, including Microsoft 365 E5, the Copilot AI assistant, and Agent 365.
Microsoft says the goal is to make AI simple to adopt by offering everything in one package instead of making businesses buy separate tools. The company’s Work IQ system powers the bundle, helping AI understand context from emails, documents, meetings, and chats so it can give more useful responses and help with real work.
Judson Althoff, Microsoft’s commercial business CEO, called the launch part of a larger “Frontier Transformation”, that is to say, Microsoft wants AI to help companies grow, work smarter, and reach bigger goals, not just automate simple tasks. He said companies no longer want experimental AI; they want tools that create real results.
A major addition in the bundle is Agent 365, priced separately at $15 per user. Microsoft describes it as a control center for AI agents. It lets IT and security teams monitor all the AI agents running in the company, making sure they are safe and behaving as expected. This matters now more than ever because many businesses are beginning to treat AI agents like a digital workforce that needs proper supervision.
