Microsoft is reportedly planning a new 365 tier which charges AI agents like humans

• Microsoft 365 E7 tier could be added with extra AI tools and agent management
• It could generate subscription revenue even as AI agents become 'workers'
• Speculations position the plan on the higher end, costing around $99/month

Microsoft is reportedly considering a new Microsoft 365 enterprise tier designed to plug an emerging gap in the world of agentic AI, making sure the company maintains subscription revenue even as the number of human seats decline.

Designed for organizations deploying AI tools and agents as colleagues alongside human workers, the new tier could require agents to have their own identities, email address, Teams access and policy controls, just like regular workers.

Business Insider reporting suggests the new subscription could be called E7, and it would likely combine E5 with Copilot and agent management into a single licence.
