What and How

What can the Project Manager Agent do?

  • Loop components: Tasks can be embedded as Loop components, keeping results visible directly within the document. Team members can comment, provide feedback and use Regenerate to instantly start new iterations.
  • Agent follow‑up questions: If information is missing, the Project Manager Agent automatically asks follow‑up questions to ensure clear task definitions. This keeps the workflow consistent and reduces misunderstandings.
  • Whiteboard integration: A new Whiteboard tab in the Planner board lets teams capture ideas in real time. With one click, sticky notes can be converted directly into tasks.


How does it work?

The Project Manager Agent is an AI‑powered virtual project lead, integrated directly into Microsoft Planner. It automatically translates project goals into concrete, actionable tasks – and can even execute them independently when needed.
You simply define the goal, for example «marketing campaign by end of Q1.» The agent creates structured task packages including assignments and executions. Especially efficient: results are automatically stored as Loop components within each task, enabling teams to continue working in context at any time.
