[Watch on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWqjDTbqjeE) · Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (YouTube) · 2026-02-27 · 18:34 · tier official · reviewed (checked by Opus) ## Overview The video covers the agentic AI approach in Business Central. It starts with the two existing agents, the Sales Order Agent and the Payables Agent, and then explains the framework behind them. Users see agent tasks in a prominent pane with a timeline, reasoning tooltips and processed documents. Agents navigate the UI like users do. From an administration standpoint, agents are treated like users, with permissions and profile assignments. They are distributed as apps and enabled or disabled the same way as other apps. The video then shows two ways to build agents. The Agent Designer in the web client is in preview and lets consultants, product owners, domain specialists and makers design proof-of-concept agents in a sandbox. The AI development toolkit lets developers create agents in code. It closes with use cases and adoption paths, including upcoming evaluation tooling and calling BC agents from Copilot Studio via MCP. ## Key points - The Sales Order Agent processes requests for quotes and creates sales orders. The Payables Agent processes vendor invoices and matches them to purchase orders. The Sales Order Agent was shown on a slide and the Payables Agent was demoed in the product. - Human-in-the-loop: new agent tasks appear in a prominent pane. Users can see the timeline of agent activity, reasoning tooltips and processed documents, and can navigate to verify decisions. - Agents are built like users for administration. You assign a profile and limit access with permissions, and explicit access controls define which tables and UI elements they can reach. - Agents are distributed as apps and enabled or disabled with the same mechanism administrators already know. - The Agent Designer in the web client is in preview. It is a wizard supported in sandboxes, for proof-of-concept agents with instructions, profile, permissions and manual trigger simulation. - In the preview, agents created in code with the AI development toolkit deploy to sandboxes only. Production deployment is stated as coming later. - Evaluation of agent results is stated as coming soon. Calling BC agents via MCP from Copilot Studio is a future capability. ## Chapters - [0:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWqjDTbqjeE&t=0s) Introduction to Agentic AI and Current Agents - [2:05](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWqjDTbqjeE&t=125s) Agent Framework and Human-in-the-Loop Experience - [4:06](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWqjDTbqjeE&t=246s) Agent Navigation, Security and Administrative Controls - [6:54](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWqjDTbqjeE&t=414s) Agent Extensibility and Partner Opportunities - [9:21](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWqjDTbqjeE&t=561s) Designing Agents in the Web Client - [12:23](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWqjDTbqjeE&t=743s) AI Development Toolkit and Code-Based Agent Creation - [13:59](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWqjDTbqjeE&t=839s) Agent Use Cases and Scenarios - [17:06](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWqjDTbqjeE&t=1026s) Adoption Paths and Getting Started ## Features | Feature | Status | At | Evidence | |---|---|---|---| | Sales Order Agent | status not stated, demoed | [0:47](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWqjDTbqjeE&t=47s) | | | Payables Agent | status not stated, demoed | [1:03](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWqjDTbqjeE&t=63s) | | | Human-in-the-Loop Agent Experience | status not stated, demoed | [2:24](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWqjDTbqjeE&t=144s) | | | Agent UI Navigation Framework | status not stated, demoed | [4:06](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWqjDTbqjeE&t=246s) | | | Agent Security and Access Control | status not stated, demoed | [5:49](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWqjDTbqjeE&t=349s) | | | Agent App Distribution | status not stated, demoed | [6:54](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWqjDTbqjeE&t=414s) | | | Agent Designer in Web Client | preview, demoed | [9:21](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWqjDTbqjeE&t=561s) | "we are now launching in preview the ability for you especially consultants, product owners, domain specialists and and even makers to design proof of" ([9:21](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWqjDTbqjeE&t=561s)) | | AI Development Toolkit - Agent Code Creation | status not stated, demoed | [12:23](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWqjDTbqjeE&t=743s) | | | Agent Extension Deployment | preview | [13:14](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWqjDTbqjeE&t=794s) | "In the preview, we support that you can deploy to sandboxes.
